Two Must-Have Fall Skincare Products to Extend Your Summer Glow
The days are getting shorter and is it just us, or are we starting to see a tinge of color in the trees? Fall is an exciting season of change, bringing a transition away from poolside lounging in sweltering temps towards sweater weather and pumpkin spice lattes. Unfortunately, your skin might be feeling a little less pumped about the transition.
While skin generally saves its biggest seasonal swing for winter, the coming of cooler, dryer weather can cause its more delicate areas to appear dull, deflated, and dehydrated. Fortunately, the right hydrating ingredients can help you reclaim and extend your summer glow.
Why Lips + Eyes Show Dehydration First
The skin on your lips and eyes is different than the rest of your face. The skin in both areas is thinner, making it more susceptible to dehydration. Your lips are especially vulnerable because their skin contains no oil glands, which means they lack your skin’s natural protective moisture – aka sebum – that locks in hydration and prevents it from evaporating into the environment.
Both areas therefore require a little extra TLC to replenish nourishing hydration and lock in protective moisture, making both eye cream and lip balm must-haves in any skincare routine.
Visible Signs of Dehydrated Skin
Characteristics of dehydrated lips and under eyes include:
- Redness
- Inflammation
- Wrinkled skin with a rough, uneven texture
- An uncomfortable, tight feeling
- Chapped or flaky skin
Hyaluronic Acid: Your Mega-Plumping Fall Must-Have
Hyaluronic acid is an essential skincare ingredient when your skin is dehydrated. It’s found naturally in the body as a polysaccharide (a group of sugar molecules bonded together). It’s a humectant, meaning it acts as a magnet for moisture, pulling water from the environment and binding it to collagen so it’s trapped within the skin. Hyaluronic acid is very good at its job, holding up to 1000 times its weight in water. It not only hydrates, it pulls in extra moisture, plumping cells with water and holding it there.
In layman’s terms: hyaluronic acid hydrates skin and makes it smoother, firmer, plumper, softer, and more radiant. And it doesn’t just pull in moisture from your skincare products, it draws in water from the environment to help maintain hydration, making it an essential ingredient for the most vulnerable areas of your face.
How to Care for Lips + Under Eyes This Fall
Our new Pro-Peptide Lip Perfector and our multi-award-winning Marine Algae Eye Cream are both bursting with efficacious hydrators – including hyaluronic acid – to nourish, plump and protect vulnerable skin from dehydration.
Our new Pro-Peptide Lip Perfector delivers intense, 24-hour moisture to deeply hydrate and support skin’s moisture barrier. Formulated with mega-hydrating micro-encapsulated hyaluronic acid and barrier-boosting sugarcane squalane, this groundbreaking innovation plumps and smooths the look of lips instantly and over time.
Target dry and dehydrated under eyes with our bestselling Marine Algae Eye Cream to deeply moisturize, visibly lift and improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Its multi-weight hyaluronic acid delivers deep and lasting hydration while peptides improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles and sugarcane squalane supports the moisture barrier.
Use both products as part of your morning and evening skincare routine, or as needed throughout the day if you have particularly dry skin.
