Dermatologist-Approved Ways to Spice Up Your Fall Skin Care Routine

Pumpkin spice season is finally here, so it’s time to change up your autumn skincare routine! Take a look at some of our favorite dermatologist-recommended skincare products from Dr. Deborah Longwill‘s custom line.

Stay Protected With a Brilliant Defense

Whether it’s hot or cold, whether there’s rain or shine, whether there’s snow or flowers, sunscreen is always a must. Just because it may get a little chillier outside doesn’t mean you can put down the SPF in your autumn skincare routine. 

One of our best dermatologist-recommended skincare products is our Brilliant Defense Sunscreen, a completely mineral sunscreen with 16.2% zinc oxide. You can apply this mineral sunscreen with no chemical filters around your eyes without any stinging or burning that many chemical sunscreens cause. 

Sun protection is definitely one of our fall skincare essentials, but many mineral (also known as “physical”) sunscreens give the skin a ghostly white cast. This may look cool during Halloween, but for the rest of the year? Not so much. The Brilliant Defense Sunscreen, however, is a 3-in-1: acting as a primer, a tinted BB cream, and a sunscreen perfect for daily use. 

This skin-perfecting multi-tasker provides all-day oil control while masking imperfections and evening skin tone. Protect your complexion from damaging UVA/UVB rays with a BB cream that provides superior broad-spectrum coverage with SPF 50+. Worn alone or under foundation, this product gives a matte finish, antioxidant benefits, and gentle hydration for even the most sensitive skin. 

Since it’s a BB cream, this physical sunscreen will protect the delicate skin around your eyes (preventing wrinkles, fine lines, dark spots, etc.) and provide makeup coverage for dark circles and veins you may have in the surrounding area.

Get Squeaky Clean With a Cleanser

At the end of the day, when you need to remove dirt, oil, sunscreen, and/or makeup, it’s crucial to wash your face with an effective cleanser. Our Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Face Wash 5% is another one of our fall skincare essentials, and it will leave your face feeling squeaky clean while also fighting acne. 

This wash is antibacterial, so it helps your skin overcome Propionibacterium acnes. This powerful acne-fighting treatment dries up pimples and blemishes, keeps future blemishes from forming, and keeps the skin’s moisture and pH levels at the normal level. 

This wash thoroughly cleanses acne-prone skin with a unique soap-free formula, fortified with 5% benzoyl peroxide. This gel formulation is perfect for oily and acne-prone skin. We also have a great cleanser for dry and sensitive skin, our Green Tea Cleanser. 

This soap-free gel formula gently cleanses while providing hydration for the skin. Our Green Tea Cleanser is formulated with soothing antioxidants and botanicals to protect highly sensitive skin. Rich in botanicals and protective antioxidants, it creates a gentle cloud of pearlescent lather that thoroughly foams away oil, debris, and makeup without excessive irritation and dryness.

Take Advantage of Active Ingredients

After cleansing, make sure to always follow up with a moisturizer. Our Code to Youth Cream is hydrating and nourishing, containing three of the most potent antioxidants. This antioxidant cream helps calm, soothe, and guard skin against free radical damage while reducing visible redness and inflammation. 

Formulated with 90% green tea polyphenols, resveratrol, and caffeine USP, this formulation reduces the appearance of fine lines and surface wrinkles and is moisture enhanced with hyaluronic acid. Resveratrol is a naturally occurring antioxidant found in red grapes, while caffeine is used to improve the cream’s antioxidant properties as a whole. 

A natural ingredient found in peanuts, grape skin, dark chocolate, and berries, resveratrol fights aging and inflammation at the cellular level. Because it’s an antioxidant, resveratrol neutralizes harmful free radicals and protects cells’ DNA from damage. Resveratrol slows down the aging process and the process of skin cancers caused by free radicals. 

Resveratrol even protects against stress and UV radiation while stimulating healthy cell growth and increased collagen production in your skin’s fibroblasts. If you didn’t think that was enough, this ingredient also protects your skin from harmful enzymes and is beneficial for all skin types. From redness to an uneven texture to dullness in your complexion, resveratrol is a powerhouse you definitely should include in your Autumn skincare routine.
