Fall Skincare Reset: Combat Dry Skin With These Essential Tips

November is officially here, and with it comes that classic fall chill in the air. While we love cozy sweaters and pumpkin spice everything, the colder, drier air can be a real battle for our skin. If you’re anything like me, you’re feeling the effects of that dry air—hello, dry patches! Add to that my job, where I’m constantly washing my hands in a hospital setting, and it’s no wonder my skin starts to feel rougher and more sensitive this time of year.

So, today, I’m sharing my personal go-to skincare tips and products that make a world of difference for keeping skin hydrated, soothed, and radiant through the fall. From clean skincare products to healthy morning rituals, these are my secrets to managing my eczema and rosacea flare-ups and protecting my skin’s moisture barrier even on the busiest of days.

1. Lock In Moisture With the Right Skincare Routine

One of my favorite tricks to combat dryness is all about layering hydration. For me, the DermResults Advanced Line has been an absolute game-changer. I start with the DermResults Serum in the morning and evening to give my skin that much-needed hydration boost. The combination of the daytime and nighttime creams seals in that moisture and keeps my skin feeling soft all day long.

Another tip? Use a sheet mask a couple of times a week for an extra dose of hydration. When my skin feels particularly parched, I turn to a sheet mask that hydrates, soothes, and leaves my face feeling refreshed and comfortable. It’s like a mini at-home spa session!

Quick Tip: After applying your moisturizer, try pressing it into your skin rather than rubbing. This helps lock in moisture without irritating sensitive skin.

2. Stay Hydrated From the Inside Out

It’s easy to forget, but hydration isn’t just about what we put on our skin—it’s also about what we put in our bodies. Every morning, I make a habit of starting my day with a glass of GreenSynergy Elixir. This all-in-one drink is packed with greens, a collagen builder, and ingredients to support gut health, all of which play a big role in keeping skin hydrated and healthy from within.

Plus, as someone with rosacea and eczema, gut health is essential. I notice that keeping my gut balanced also helps with skin clarity and reduces the frequency of my flare-ups.

3. Protect Your Hands Against Frequent Washing

With my job, I’m washing my hands constantly, and I know a lot of you moms out there can relate, whether it’s at work or at home. This can lead to dry, chapped hands because frequent washing strips away the skin’s natural barrier.

To combat this, I always keep a hand cream that’s rich in emollients on hand (pun intended!) to apply throughout the day. And when I’m home, I apply a thicker cream and wear cotton gloves for a bit to really help my hands heal and retain moisture. Trust me—this makes a difference when you’re washing up all day long.

4. Use Products Designed for Sensitive Skin

If you’re prone to sensitivities, like eczema or rosacea, go for products that are formulated to be gentle and non-irritating. I’ve found the DermResults line works beautifully for my skin because it’s both effective and soothing. Avoid harsh exfoliants or fragranced products that can further dry out or irritate your skin.

And don’t forget about SPF, even in the fall! Sun exposure is one of the biggest triggers for my rosacea, so I stick to a daily sunscreen that’s lightweight but protective.

Pro Tip: Apply sunscreen even when you’re indoors. Blue light from screens can contribute to skin aging and flare-ups, especially for rosacea-prone skin.

5. Embrace a Consistent Routine

Fall can be busy, and it’s easy to let self-care slide. But I’ve found that sticking to a consistent skincare routine (even if it’s simple!) is key. Having a set morning and evening routine ensures my skin gets the care it needs to stay hydrated and resilient no matter how hectic things get.

Final Thoughts on Fall Skincare

Don’t let the dry fall air get you down! By adjusting your skincare routine and focusing on hydration, both inside and out, you can keep your skin glowing and healthy all season long.
