Fall Must-Have Skincare Ingredients

Do you tend to not be as proactive with skincare during the summer months? I know that I sometimes am, and my skin is very reactive during the warm summer months. But, Fall is here and it is time to get the skin back in shape. Rewind by Theorem has done wonders for my skin. A simple 3-step system that is easy, affordable, and backed by science. Theorem has put together this list of ingredients that you should be looking for in skincare.

Oh, fall, how we love you. It’s time to talk about skincare with the cooler temperatures approaching us. Of course, spring, summer, and winter all have a special place in our hearts, but It’s time to cue the sweaters, pumpkin spice lattes, and the additional moisturizers, serums, and acids.

Cooler temperatures = a drop in humidity (amazing for our hair but not so great for our skin) 

During these cooler months, a different approach to your skincare routine is suggested by many dermatologists. The air can become a bit dry, causing a bit of havoc on your skin. Not to mention, we are sitting around the firepits more and starting to turn on our heaters – that’s like doubling the drying action. Now, we’re not telling you to do a whole vanity makeover, but we are encouraging you to add some extra hydrating ingredients to your skincare routine. Here are our top 3 ingredients to add to your routine, especially during these crisp, chilly days ahead of us.

Glycerin

We have done the science for you on adding moisture into your routine; the first step is Glycerin-infused products to aid in rehydrating skin and lock in moisture. Not only does it have the ability to retain moisture, but Glycerin also combats dark spots and erases fine lines and wrinkles. Go the extra step by pairing with an occlusive moisturizing agent to enhance the effect.

Hyaluronic acid

A fall glow that radiates from within needs Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic acid is a powerful hydrating ingredient found naturally in your skin which is the reason this product gives a dewy healthy glow. With an emphasis on powerful; this acid is a humectant like Glycerin – a substance that retains moisture – and can hold 1000 times its weight in water. A question that comes to mind is if our body produces this acid, why do we need additional sources of it? The answer is as we age beautifully, the downfall is we decrease the production of it, resulting in our skin losing plumpness, volume, and hydration. Two of our formulations have Hylauronic Acid, Recharge Serum, and Amino+ Peptide Cream. Recharge actually has three molecular weights of Hylauronic Acid to go deep into the skin to provide hydration while diminishing fine lines, wrinkles, sunspots, tightening and so much more.

Peptides

We are seeing a trend of hydrating products being huge for the upcoming cooler months. Let’s make room for one of our favorite ingredients, which is the building block of collagen and elastin fibers that are found in our skin – Peptides. Like Hyaluronic Acid, our bodies produce this; however, when added to serums or moisturizers, they work differently and communicate with the skin like a messenger. They send little DMs to hype up the cells to produce more collagen and elastin; reducing wrinkles, easing inflammation, and improving a stronger moisture skin barrier.

That was a ton of information – Using our Rewind Method will spice up your skincare routine this season while providing the hydration your skin needs to maintain a healthy moisture barrier for clear, healthy, glowy skin.

September Favorites

september favorites

Fall is finally here, the leaves are turning, the air is getting crisper, and the days are getting shorter. It has been unseasonably hot here so this is a welcome change. Fall decor is done and we are enjoying cooking new soups and comfort food recipes. I thought with the change of seasons that I would share a few of my favorites from September.

molly b originals
Fun seasonal accessories

I always like to add a few new accessories each season. Molly B Originals is one of my favorites for unique monogram pieces. You know I love a good monogram. When I saw the clear acrylic with leaf pattern, I knew it would be perfect for Fall. I picked the chic monogram style and love how it turned out. Of course, I had to get a Lilly-inspired piece too. This pumpkin is adorable, and I know I will wear it all season. I have quite a few Molly B pieces and I love that you have the option to change the pendant without buying an entire new necklace on certain pieces.

capri blue volcano
A unique scent

Scents are a quick and easy way to change the feel and vibe of a space. Capri Blue Volcano has been a favorite of mine for years. It is a hard scent to describe but it is one of those that is always recognized. Capri Blue has so many wonderful scents. I always pick up a new candle each season.

longaberger bentwood pumpkin
Perfect decor for Fall

How cute is this bentwood pumpkin from Longaberger? I thought the design was so unique and knew it was a piece that I wanted to add to this year’s decor. I chose the small pumpkin and this color is gorgeous. Each piece s handmade and will be in my Fall decor for many years to come. Longaberger has so many gorgeous and unique pieces for Fall.

tiered trays
So many options

Tiered trays are one of my most useful and versatile pieces. This year’s fall tray was made with pieces left over from previous projects. I added some garland, pumpkins, acorns, and cotton. The metal words were from DollarTree, and I thought they were the perfect addition. The little truck lights up too. The options with a tiered tray are endless.

theorem alpha cleanser
Theorem Alpha cleanser

I must admit that sometimes in the Summer I am a little lax in my skincare. Fall is the perfect time to get back to my routine and back on track. Alpha cleanser from Theorem has been my go-to. Alpha is a resurfacing gel-based cleanser packed full of AHA, BHA, and peppermint. I only use it a few times a week and my skin feels incredibly refreshed and cleansed. I have noticed a definite change in my skin. My skin is smoother, brighter, and less congested.

I hope you enjoyed a peek at a few of my favorites from September. Maybe you find something new that you would like to try too. Wishing you a wonderful Fall season. I’m looking forward to it.

Until next week,

Carrie
