Autumn skin care
Marta Cámara
It's time to switch out your wardrobe—and your makeup bag! It's time to talk about autumn skincare . Just as you put away your swimwear, summer dresses, and sandals to make room for coats and woolens, you need to change your skincare routine to dress your skin according to the changing weather.
SKIN CHANGES IN AUTUMN
Your skin changes a lot in autumn. And the paleness that emerges as the last traces of your tan fade isn't the only sign. Want to know everything that happens to your skin in autumn? The list is long:
- The spots that have been developing under the sun appear.
- Excessive UV radiation also causes an increase in wrinkles - especially around the eyes - and a decrease in the production of collagen and elastin, which are responsible for skin firmness.
- Pollution also begins to take its toll, causing a lack of luminosity and clogged pores, preventing the skin from oxygenating properly and resulting in the typical sallow tone of the season.
- The skin becomes more sensitive as a result of the cold and sudden changes in temperature.
- The cold also causes the skin to become dehydrated and much drier. It's not surprising that it feels tight.
- If you have acne, the truce granted by the sun comes to an end, and it's quite normal to start the season with some breakouts.
HOW TO CARE FOR OUR SKIN IN AUTUMN?
In summer, we know that we need to increase sun protection , and in winter, we know that nourishing and protecting the skin from the cold is the best approach… but in the transitional seasons, we're not so sure.
At Beldon we tell you what your needs are and the autumn skin care you should take into account in a personalized way.
Now is the time to counteract the harmful effects of summer's sun exposure, such as premature wrinkles and pigmentation changes that manifest as spots of varying sizes and locations (face, neck, hands, etc.). Both in autumn and winter, it's advisable to implement a comprehensive skincare regimen focused on: nutrition, hydration, depigmentation, and the use of antioxidant and anti-glycation products.
A gentle yet thorough cleanse , morning and night!
The skin is slightly more sensitive, and although cleansing should not be neglected, it is necessary to opt for gentler formulas that respect the hydrolipidic film of our skin that protects us against the aggressions of external factors such as sun, pollution, heating, temperature changes, cold...
To do this, you should use a cleanser suitable for your skin type, followed by a toner that helps balance the pH to achieve an equilibrium between oil and water in your skin. This leaves it fresh and ready for the subsequent application of active ingredients.
Skin regeneration
It's the magic word to look for on the labels of your transitional skincare products. It's about renewing and regenerating your skin while repairing the damage caused during the summer. We achieve this with anti-glycation products that reverse the negative effects of sun exposure, such as the loss of collagen and elastin. Depending on the skin's condition, ingredients like epidermal growth factor become an invaluable ally.
Anti-spot actives
You'll need them if you haven't been particularly diligent about sun protection. Licorice extract, ferulic acid, glycolic acid, niacinamide… there are as many as there are types of blemishes. Therefore, a prior assessment is important to achieve the best results.
Sun protection
Now more than ever, especially if you're undergoing anti-dark spot treatment. Ultraviolet radiation is present year-round, so we mustn't forget sunscreen. Some sunscreens offer broad-spectrum protection, including anti-pollution, anti-digital light (so important now with the rise of remote work), and antioxidant protection.
Illuminating ingredients
Vitamin C is a classic, but there are others like niacinamide and resveratrol.
An extra boost of hydration for the skin
Switching from a 'light' to a 'rich' version is the best option, and many products offer these variations. But generally speaking, you should know that your night cream should be richer at this time of year, as the skin's repair cycle occurs between 11 pm and 4 am, making it more receptive to any products you apply.
Oils, now is the best time
They are ideal for nourishing and strengthening the skin. Whether you add a few drops to your cream or use it alone at night, you'll wake up with supple, radiant skin.
Time for peels
Essential for skin renewal, treating marks, wrinkles, blemishes, acne and irregularities.
Face masks, two or three times a week
Oxygenating, clarifying, nourishing, sebum-regulating, illuminating… It's time to make the most of them and include them among the autumn skincare products we should use.
Anti-pollution cosmetics
It's essential if you live in the city. It will help detoxify your skin and protect it from heavy metals present in environmental pollution, smoke, and polluting gases that generate free radicals, causing premature aging, sensitivity, or dehydration.
Use eye cream day and night
It's perfect for erasing the bags and dark circles that often appear after returning to our daily routines, as well as reducing the fine lines that form around the eyes and become more pronounced from squinting in the sun. Given that our eyes are so prominent these days, we must take special care of this delicate area.
Use the night to your advantage
The skin is more receptive and calm, and it's the perfect time to use the most powerful and regenerating treatments.
Pamper your lips and hands
Don't forget them. The cold takes its toll, drying out these two areas of your body. Furthermore, the skin on your hands is an indicator of your age.

In-salon treatments to prepare the skin for the change of season
DERMAPEN
At Beldon, we have this 'magic wand' for skin repair. It's a revolutionary collagen-inducing microneedling device that stimulates the skin to activate its healing response and helps synthesize collagen and elastin , repairing it in depth.
In addition, it is the best vehicle for enhancing the penetration of the active ingredients applied afterward. Its benefits are numerous:
- It stimulates collagen production to tighten the skin and combat sagging.
- It reduces superficial wrinkles.
- Improves skin tone and texture.
- Minimizes acne scars.
- Reduces pore size.
- Fights stains.
We also personalize all our protocols according to the specific needs of each skin type and the desired results, and the Dermapen treatment is no exception. We offer five different cocktails of active ingredients that have resulted in five specific treatments with spectacular results:
- Designed to fill wrinkles, redensify the skin and inhibit contractions.
- It tightens the skin and visibly increases its firmness.
- It reduces hyperpigmentation and restores the skin's radiance.
- This is a specific treatment for the double chin that reduces fat in the area while firming and redefining the contour.
- Maximum hydration. It is carried out with hyaluronic acid to fill in wrinkles and intensely and lastingly hydrate the skin.
The protocol, always subject to a prior diagnosis, begins by preparing the skin with a customized peel and ends with the application of a repairing and regenerating face mask. If necessary, it can be enhanced with LED light focused on each specific concern. Perfect for the autumn skincare you need!
VOLCANO LIFT
In addition to being firming, detoxifying, remineralizing, brightening, and hydrating, it is also suitable for treating sensitive skin, intensely soothing and nourishing it while providing an unparalleled sensory experience thanks to its aromatic blend and textures. The active ingredients are applied with a remodeling massage that delivers an immediate "healthy glow," redefining facial contours and illuminating tired, dull skin.
It consists of three phases:
- Prelude: The skin is thoroughly cleansed and a peel is performed using alpha amino acids, which provide the benefits of alpha hydroxy acids without any of their contraindications. This prepares the skin and promotes the penetration of the active ingredients. If necessary, the extraction would then be performed.
- Treatment: Next, we apply the activated charcoal and volcanic glass mask which will reinforce the skin's protection, revitalize, detoxify and leave the skin with a juicy texture.
- Final step: A remodeling massage is performed, which will help to activate circulation and thus increase the supply of oxygen and nutrients, redefine the contours and eliminate toxins.
The result is even-toned, retextured, and toxin-free skin. In addition, the facial contours are redefined, pore size is reduced, signs of aging, fatigue, and stress diminish, and radiance is increased.
Don't underestimate the transitional seasons and keep these autumn skincare tips in mind. Skin is especially vulnerable to changes and needs specific care. Shall we talk about winter?
