Hello, beauties! October is here, and so is the perfect time to refresh our skincare and makeup routines for fall. With the weather cooling down, our skin needs a little extra love, especially for those of us over 50. Here’s a guide to keeping your skin glowing and makeup looking flawless this season, with tips, tricks, and some favorite products.
1. Hydrate & Lock in Moisture
Cooler weather means drier skin. After cleansing, boost hydration with a serum and layer on a rich moisturizer to lock it all in. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin can help keep your skin plump and smooth.
Product Recommendations:
- CeraVe Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Serum – A budget-friendly option for intense hydration. Available at Amazon.
- First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream – This is amazing for sensitive skin, helping to soothe and deeply hydrate. Find it at Target.
2. Gentle Exfoliation for Radiance
Exfoliating removes dead skin cells, revealing fresh, radiant skin underneath. Aim to exfoliate 1-2 times per week with a gentle product like an enzyme-based or chemical exfoliant containing lactic or glycolic acid.
Product Recommendations:
- The Ordinary Lactic Acid 5% + HA – Affordable and effective for brighter skin without irritation. Available at Sephora
- Tatcha The Rice Polish – A gentle, luxurious powder exfoliant that leaves skin silky. Find it at Sephora.
3. Choose a Hydrating Foundation with a Natural Finish
Foundations that provide hydration and a dewy finish work best for mature skin, as they won’t settle into fine lines. Cream or liquid foundations with a natural finish give a glowing look without drying.
Product Recommendations:
- IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream – This is a favorite for its full coverage, hydration, and SPF. Available at IT Cosmetics.
- Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation Stick – Creamy and buildable for a natural look. Available at Nordstrom.
4. Warm Autumn Tones for Eyeshadow
Soft, earthy tones in shades like copper, plum, and taupe are flattering and on-trend for fall. These tones add depth and warmth without harshness, ideal for highlighting your natural beauty.
Product Recommendations:
- Urban Decay Naked Heat Eyeshadow Palette – A mix of warm tones perfect for fall. Available at Ulta.
- L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche La Palette Nude in Beige – An affordable option with beautiful, natural fall shades. Find it at Walmart.
5. Plump Lips with Berry and Plum Shades
Berry and plum shades are beautiful for fall and complement every skin tone. Try a moisturizing lipstick or balm for a hydrated, bold lip look that feels soft and never dry.
Product Recommendations:
- MAC Lipstick in Plumful – A sheer, buildable plum that feels hydrating. Find it at MAC.
- Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey – Known for its universally flattering berry hue. Available at Sephora.
6. SPF Protection is a Must!
Even in cooler weather, UV rays are present. An SPF moisturizer protects your skin from sun damage, helping to maintain a youthful glow all season long.
Product Recommendations:
- EltaMD UV Daily Broad-Spectrum SPF 40 – Lightweight and great for sensitive skin. Available at Amazon.
- Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40 – Loved for its clear, weightless feel. Find it at Supergoop!.
7. Hydrate From Within
Remember, hydrated skin isn’t just topical. Drinking water and incorporating hydrating teas like chamomile and green tea can help keep your skin glowing from the inside out.
Tip: Carry a thermos of warm tea with you for a cozy, hydrating treat on chilly fall days.
