9 Fall Skincare Essentials You Didn’t Know You Needed (And they are all on sale!)
As the leaves change, the air turns crisp, and Amazon’s Big Deal Day rolls around, it’s the perfect time to refresh your skincare routine. Fall’s cooler temperatures and lower humidity levels can lead to drier, duller skin, but with a few simple updates, you can keep your skin glowing all season long. Remember, your skin reflects your overall health, so taking care of it is an act of self-care. Below, I’m sharing my top nine fall skincare essentials and tips on why adjusting your routine with the seasons is key to radiant, healthy skin.
Why Update Your Skincare Seasonally?
Our skin has different needs depending on the environment, and fall is a time of transition that can be tough on your complexion. Here’s why seasonal skincare adjustments are so important:
Humidity Levels: Fall brings lower humidity, which can lead to moisture loss in your skin. Adjusting your routine helps maintain hydration and prevents dryness.
Skin Barrier Function: As temperatures drop, your skin’s barrier may weaken. Using richer products fortifies it against environmental stressors, ensuring your skin remains healthy and resilient.
Cell Turnover: With summer behind us, it's essential to remove dead skin cells that can accumulate, leading to dullness. A seasonal refresh can revive your complexion and support your skin's natural processes.
Let’s dive into the must-have products for fall that will help keep your skin nourished, protected, and glowing.
Humidifier
Dry indoor air can wreak havoc on your skin, especially during the fall. A humidifier can help maintain moisture levels in your home, especially during the dry fall months. This is a must-have for keeping your skin hydrated and healthy.

Micellar water is a gentle, yet effective way to cleanse your skin without stripping it of essential moisture. Use it as part of your double cleansing routine to remove makeup and impurities. It’s also perfect for an easy morning cleanse. Use it on a cotton round in the am to wash away the bacteria from pillows, sheets, pets and partners—just a swipe and you’re ready to go!
Shop Micellar WaterExfoliating Treatment
As we move away from the sun-drenched summer, it’s important to exfoliate to shed dead skin cells. I recommend a chemical exfoliant with AHAs or BHAs. These will slough off dull skin without the irritation of physical scrubs, helping you achieve that coveted glass skin glow.
Shop Exfoliating TreatmentSunscreen
Yes, you still need sunscreen in the fall! UV rays are present year-round, even when it’s cloudy. Opt for a broad-spectrum SPF that’s lightweight enough for daily wear, but powerful enough to protect your skin from damage. My favorite is formulated with turmeric and probiotics to soothe sensitive skin.
Shop SunscreenOvernight Face Cream
Boost your skin’s hydration with an overnight moisturizer a couple of times a week. Nighttime is when your skin does the most healing and repair, so give it a little extra love with a rich, nourishing cream. Your morning glow will thank you!
Shop Overnight CreamLip Balm
Your lips are often the first to feel the effects of cooler weather. A nourishing lip balm will prevent chapping and keep them soft and supple. Choose one that’s free from synthetic additives and harsh chemicals to keep your lips—and the planet—happy all cuffing season long.
Shop Lip BalmEye Cream
he delicate skin around your eyes needs extra care during fall. A hydrating eye cream with ingredients like caffeine, hyaluronic acid, and peptides can help reduce puffiness, fine lines, and dryness. It’s a simple step that makes a huge difference in how refreshed you look
Shop Eye CreamHydrating Hand Cream
I learned my golden rule of skincare from my grandmother Edie who always said, “whatever you do to your face, do to your neck, chest and hands.” Hands often get overlooked, but they need nourishing too! A hand cream with the same vitamins and hydrating ingredients will combat dryness and keep your skin soft. Keep one in your purse or by your desk for easy reapplication throughout the day.
Shop Hydrating Hand CreamBody Oil
Lock in moisture and keep your skin smooth all day long with a nourishing body oil. Choose a non-toxic formula that you can use from head to toe. This is my holy grail product for keeping skin soft through the driest months—it’s been a staple in my routine for years!
Final Thoughts
Updating your skincare routine for fall is about more than just looking good—it’s about feeling good too. When you take the time to nourish your skin, you’re supporting your overall health and well-being. All of the products I recommend are cruelty-free, paraben-free, and non-toxic, so you can care for your skin and the planet at the same time.
