5 Hydration Hacks For Glowing Skin This Autumn

As the leaves change and the air turns crisp, many people notice their skin becoming dry and dull. Autumn can pose challenges for skin health, but making small adjustments to your skincare routine can help. Here are five effective hydration hacks that will keep your skin radiant and healthy this fall.

1. Incorporate Skin Boosters

One of the simplest ways to enhance skin hydration is by incorporating skin boosters into your annual routine. These injectable cocktails deliver a powerful dose of hydration and nutrients directly into your skin.

For instance, a study found that hyaluronic acid can hold up to 1,000 times its weight in water, making it incredibly effective for hydration. Using a skin booster once every 3 months can significantly elevate your skin's hydration levels, helping your skin feeling plump and youthful, even as temperatures drop.

2. Opt for Hydrating Facials

Treating yourself to a hydrating facial is a great way to nourish your skin this autumn. Professional facials use high-quality products and techniques to rejuvenate your skin deeply and remove dull, dry skin.

These treatments not only provide immediate hydration, but studies show that regular facials can improve your skin’s ability to retain moisture. For example, a survey of people who received monthly facials found that 75% reported improved skin texture and hydration levels. Giving your skin this extra attention will help it resist the drying effects of the season.

3. Use Clinical-Grade Skincare Products

Investing in clinical-grade skincare products can significantly boost your hydration efforts. These products often contain higher concentrations of active ingredients, making them more effective than standard over-the-counter options. Look for products that include peptides, antioxidants, and vitamins, as these components help repair and protect your skin barrier.

For example, using a clinical-grade moisturizer after your skin booster helps lock in moisture and creates a protective layer against environmental stressors. This combination can keep your skin hydrated and glowing throughout the autumn months. If done consistently, using such products can lead to results where users notice up to a 30% improvement in moisture retention in just a few weeks.

CLINICCARE is the brand I use in clinic and my clients (and myself!) swear by the results. CLINICCARE combines the best of nature and science by bringing together botanical extracts, carefully chosen for their potency and specific benefits, with the latest advances in science. This unique combination of active ingredients delivers outstanding results and ensures the highest levels of quality, efficacy and safety.

4. Hydrate from Within

While topical treatments are essential, remember that hydration from within is just as important. Drinking enough water is crucial for maintaining skin health, especially during drier months. Aim for at least eight glasses of water a day. Additionally, consider adding hydrating foods to your diet—foods like cucumbers, oranges, and watermelon are excellent choices due to their high water content.

You might also want to drink herbal teas or broths. They not only provide hydration but also pack in additional nutrients beneficial for your skin. A well-hydrated body helps your skin reflect a vibrant, natural glow.

5. Avoid Stripping Your Skin

Something that I see all too often is people over-scrubbing, over-cleansing, and using too many harsh products on their face during daily routines. If your skin turns dry and flaky during the colder months, it's tempting to try exfoliation to get rid of the dead skin, but by doing this without the right expertise, it's possible to strip your skin of natural oils and weaken your skin barrier.

These natural oils are essential for helping to maintain the moisture content within your skin. It is instead more beneficial for your skin to use a much gentler cleanser that will not strip away any skin hydration essentials. ClinicCare's foaming cleanser is a game changer when it comes to cleansing your skin effectively whilst ensuring it stays hydrated and healthy. You can purchase it here.
