Fall Skin Prep 101
As the air turns crisp and the days grow shorter, your skin’s needs shift.
Fall is the season to replenish, protect, and rebuild—so your complexion stays healthy and radiant as temperatures drop.
Here’s your step-by-step guide to preparing your skin for the cooler months ahead:
1. Hydrate Smarter with “Skin Cocktailing”
Every part of your face has different needs. Pair lighter hydration in oilier zones with richer, soothing layers where the skin tends to feel dry—such as around the eyes and mouth. Our Active Rejuvenation Oasis Serum is the perfect first layer to hydrate and prep your skin barrier deeply.
2. Love Your Lips
Colder air and wind can leave lips dry and cracked. Choose nourishing balms made with ceramides, shea butter, or castor oil—and seal the moisture in by dabbing a drop of Bedouin Elixir Facial Oil on top.
3. Move Your Body
As the weather cools, it can be tempting to hibernate. But movement helps keep your circulation strong and your skin naturally radiant. Think brisk walks, yoga, or even a few minutes of stretching each morning. Extra perk: healthy circulation supports collagen production.

4. Keep SPF in Your Routine
UV rays are present year-round—even on cloudy fall days. Switch to a creamier sunscreen formula (I've been loving Avène Ultra Large Spectre SPF 50—so dewy!). A smooth layer of Bedouin Elixir Facial Oil underneath sunscreen helps prevent transepidermal water loss during dry, windy days.
5. Add Humidity Back In
Indoor heating can leave the air desert-dry. A bedroom humidifier works wonders for keeping your skin hydrated while you sleep. Also, a water filter for your shower can reduce skin-drying minerals like chlorine and hard metals.

6. Power Up with an Active-Packed Serum
Fall is the ideal time to support your skin with barrier-loving actives.
Our Active Rejuvenation Oasis Serum has vitamin C, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and vitamin E to fight oxidative stress and boost glow.

7. Create Cozy Sleep Rituals
Fall’s longer nights are a perfect time to prioritize rest. Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep, and create a relaxing evening routine: herbal tea, dimmed lights, and a calming skincare ritual. Your skin restores itself most while you sleep.

8. Exfoliate—But Gently
Over-exfoliating can compromise your skin barrier. Stick to mild exfoliants, such as lactic acid or low-strength AHAs/BHAs 1–2 times a week, and finish with a layer of Bedouin Elixir Facial Oil to calm and restore.
9. Support Your Body with Seasonal Foods
Your skin reflects what you feed it. This fall, embrace warming, antioxidant-rich foods like roasted root vegetables, pomegranates, dark leafy greens, and squash. Add healthy fats from avocados, olive oil, and walnuts to keep skin supple from within.

10. Hydrate from the Inside Out
Water, herbal teas, and mineral-rich electrolytes help your skin maintain elasticity and balance, especially as the weather gets colder. Your glow starts from within.
Radiance isn’t just about how your skin looks—it’s how you feel. With small, thoughtful changes, you can step into this season feeling balanced, hydrated, and beautifully confident.
