Embrace October: Your guide to Fall-ready Skin 🍂

Leaves are falling, pumpkins are on every doorstep, and Halloween decorations are bringing out the spooky spirit all over New York City. 

Yes, we might still catch a few warm afternoons, but there’s no denying it—fall is officially in full swing. And with the cooler temperatures and drier air settling in, our skin can start to feel the shift. It’s time to make sure our skin stays balanced and healthy as we embrace sweater weather.

As we say goodbye to humid summer days, it’s also the perfect opportunity to transition to richer, creamier moisturizers. Lightweight gels that were perfect in July aren’t going to cut it anymore—October is when we need to ramp up the moisture game. Not sure where to begin? Here’s your go-to guide for keeping your skin radiant as the leaves turn.

Say Goodbye to Dryness: Tips to Keep Your Skin Happy

This time of year, it's common for clients to notice their skin getting a little duller and drier. With less sunshine comes less vitamin D, and the effects show up right on our faces. Hot showers feel amazing (trust me, I'm guilty too!), but for your face, it's better to use lukewarm or even room temperature water. That one small tweak can save your skin from unnecessary dehydration.

When it comes to daily care, keep it simple but effective: start with a gentle face wash, follow up with a hydrating serum, and lock it all in with a good moisturizer. If you haven’t added retinol to your routine yet, fall is a fantastic time to do it. Retinol is a powerful tool for anti-aging—it encourages cell turnover and keeps your skin looking fresh and smooth.

When Moisturizer Isn’t Enough: The Power of Peels

Let’s be real: sometimes, no matter how much you moisturize, your skin still feels dry and flaky. If that’s you, it might be time to bring out the big guns—a chemical peel. Gone are the days of harsh, downtime-heavy peels that left you hiding at home. Now, we have sophisticated options that offer impressive results with minimal discomfort.

One of my favorites is Biorepeel, a European brand that takes skincare to the next level.  addresses almost every skin concern you can think of: aging, acne, hyperpigmentation, dryness, and dullness. After just one session, you’ll not only *see* a difference—you’ll *feel* it as well. For the best results, a series of treatments is recommended, tailored to your unique skin by your aesthetician. Because let’s face it, every skin is different, and we want a plan as unique as you are.

Extra Tips for Glowing Skin

Looking for something simple you can do at home? In the mornings, consider skipping your cleanser and just using a toner. It’s a gentle way to freshen up without stripping your skin, helping to retain as much moisture as possible. 

Sanitas Clarifying or Brightening Peel is perfect for adding a boost of hydration and glow without being too harsh.

And don’t underestimate the power of a weekly face mask. A regular masking routine can make a world of difference, whether you go for a creamy formula Environ face mask or a refreshing sheet mask. 

⭐ PRO TIP: keep your sheet masks in the fridge! Not only does it feel amazing, but it also helps soothe redness and inflammation—your skin will thank you for it.
