The start of Autumn sees us turn our attention towards repairing sun-damaged skin, particularly after a hot summer spent at the beach or adventuring outdoors.
Professional makeup artist, beauty expert and the founder of The Edit Cosmetics, Michelle Devereux explains that “preparing skin for autumn usually entails two steps; the first is addressing pigmentation and sun damage and the second, restoring hydration to tired, weathered skin.”
Introducing a brightening Vitamin C infused skin serum is your first step in aiding to repair sun damage. The Edit Cosmetics Miracle Worker C-Serum (RRP $140.00) utilises Kakadu Plum; a potent source of vitamin C, which not only aids to repair damaged skin but also stimulates collagen production and acts against the free radicals that form on your skin, further protecting from their harmful effects.
A cleansing exfoliator will aid in further brightening skin by sloughing off dry and dead skin cells, revealing healthy glowing skin that’s ready to receive its vitamin C boost. The Edit Cosmetics Polishing Cleanser (RRP $86.00) is an ideal option as it’s mild enough for sensitive skin as it contains ultra-fine bamboo powder to gently yet effectively remove build-up, revealing smoother, brighter skin.
“While the weather takes a cooler turn, your skin might also benefit from a series of light glycolic peels too,” says Devereux. “Just remember to be kind to your skin over this time, slowly building your autumn routine, ensuring you’re not over-exfoliating skin and remembering your SPF during the day while your skin works on repair”.
Autumn skin may also benefit from a deep hydration boost, quenching the thirst for dry sun swept skin.
“Keeping up your hydration levels will aid to flush out toxins, strengthen skin elasticity and may help improve cellular turnover by promoting the right oil balance,” says Devereux. “While your body is working hard on repair from the inside, give your skin a deep hydration boost from the outside by adding a concentrated Day Cream for deep level nourishment.”
The Edit Cosmetics Luminous Drops Day Cream (RRP $95.00) utilises Hyaluronic acid which aids to attract moisture, locking it in, working in sync with vitamin C, while added Macadamia oil which is extremely high in fatty acids and omega 9 aids to deeply nourish and protect the skin. Finally, a rich night oil like The Edits hero product Midnight Magic Luxury Night Oil (RRP $145.00) will work wonders at night to repair and feed the skin while you rest.
