There is just something about autumn that calls for a fresh new start. With the summer coming to an end, everyone going back to school and work, and things slowly going back to their hectic normality, what better time than now to make a few changes to your routine to take on the last third of the year?

From organising our wardrobes, eating more fruit and veggies, or incorporating new activities to our daily routine, there’s so many way to shake up your routine for the new season. As the temperature and weather starts changing, why not start by showing your skin some extra love? After all the excesses of the summer, it might be in need of TLC!

So give your skin all the attention it deserves by building the perfect skincare routine! In this article, you will find all the tips you need to build the best skincare routine. 

Step 1: Cleansing

The most fundamental and important step in any skincare routine is washing your face. Environmental toxins, grime, and other harmful substances come in contact with your skin every day. This can, if left unchecked, create sensitivity, breakouts and more. Before you add the fancy lotions and serums, you need to make sure you have an adequate cleansing routine. To prevent blocked pores, dullness, and acne, wash your face twice daily - morning and night.

We would advise you to use the double cleanse technique. This technique is really simple: all you do is start with an oil based cleanser that will remove any oil based impurities such as makeup and sebum. You can then follow up with a water-based cleanser (foaming cleanser) that will remove all that is left.

We would advise you start with our Ayurvedic Cleansing Lotion With Rose Oil & Aloe Vera. This face cleansing lotion is a creamy, silky cleanser that aids in dissolving and removing dirt and grime accumulated during the day. Simply apply the lotion on your face with a cotton pad and remove as much dirt, makeup and grime as you can.

Follow up the cleansing lotion with our Ayurvedic Cleansing Face Wash with Aloe Vera & Geranium Oil. This gentle but effective facial cleanser is a natural foamy gel that will cleanse your face and get rid of all leftover impurities, leaving your skin soft and supple. Plus, the florally aroma will make you feel like you're taking a cool stroll through a rose garden.

Step 2: Treating

Now that your skin is all lovely and clean, you can move on to using targeted activities to treat any problems you might have. A good way to do so is to use masks. More than just a relaxing step, a mask can be very beneficial. Depending on their ingredients, they can help target signs of ageing, acne, clogged pores, dullness, dryness and more.

If you are looking to brighten up and revitalise your complexion, we’d recommend our lush and colourful Ayurvedic Turmeric Face Mask with Bergamot & Petitgrain. This mask contains turmeric which is a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that will make your skin glow and help fight scarring. 

If your skin is in need of nourishment, we would advise our  Ayurvedic Red Sandalwood Face Mask with Vetivert. This lavish mask bursting with sandalwood extract helps nourish the skin, even out skin tone and improves elasticity.

Lastly, use our Vetivert & Galangal Natural Face Pack as an occasional deep treatment. This gorgeous herbal mix will deeply cleanse and nourish your face, and is perfect for resetting your skin or for a little skin boost before a special occasion.

Step 3: Moisturising and Nourishing

A moisturiser is a great item to include in your daily skin care regimen whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin. Your skin wwill stay nourished and renewed with the aid of moisturiser. The oil glands that maintain healthy skin start to lose their function as we age, which causes them to produce less oil. The glands don't have to work as hard to maintain healthy skin throughout your lifetime though, if you moisturise every day.

Start with our simple but powerful Ayurvedic Fortifying Face Cream with Natural Cocoa Butter & Vitamin E. This wonderful concoction combines the nourishing properties of cocoa butter and the antioxidant properties of vitamin E, leaving your skin glowing and bouncy.

If you think you need some extra nourishment, why not try our luxurious Coconut & Jojoba Oil Face Serum? This opulent mix combines the benefits of 9 high quality oils to leave your skin plump and glowy.

Despite being the biggest organ on our bodies, many individuals overlook taking care of their skin. Aside from playing a significant role in making you look your best, having healthy skin also helps keep you healthy. So do not overlook building a consistent skincare routine to look and feel your best for longer!
