Every year, it’s the same story: the first cool days arrive, and your skin starts to feel uncomfortable. Tightness, dry patches, redness… it’s no coincidence! The autumn climate brings new challenges for your skin. Understanding these changes is the first step toward restoring comfort and suppleness.

1. Drier air — the first culprit

The drop in humidity and temperature causes the water in your skin to evaporate more quickly.
As a result, it loses suppleness and becomes more sensitive.
Tip: Keep the air in your home slightly humid, or keep a floral water mist nearby to gently rehydrate your skin throughout the day.

2. Hot-and-cold contrasts weaken the skin

Moving from the cold outdoors to heated indoor spaces is like subjecting your skin to a thermal shock.
These temperature shifts weaken the epidermis and intensify feelings of discomfort and tightness.
Tip: Opt for a gentle cleanser without harsh agents, and apply a nourishing cream or oil immediately afterward.

3. The protective barrier becomes thinner

In autumn, the skin’s natural sebum production decreases.
The hydrolipidic film — your skin’s natural shield — becomes less effective at retaining moisture.
Tip: Incorporate rich textures (dry oils, balms) to compensate for this loss and strengthen the skin’s protective barrier.

4. Reduced sunlight also affects the skin

Less sunlight and increased fatigue often mean duller, more reactive skin.
Tip: Maintain a consistent, comforting routine to keep your skin healthy and balanced.

5. Hydration habits tend to fade away

We tend to drink less water when it’s cold and forget that our skin still needs hydration.
Tip: Drink regularly and apply your moisturizing products to slightly damp skin to maximize their effectiveness.

Conclusion

Autumn tightness isn’t inevitable. By understanding its causes and adopting simple habits — hydration, gentle cleansing, and richer textures — your skin will stay comfortable and supple all season long.
