Top 10 Fall Skincare Ingredients
For the ultimate fall skincare experience, try searching for products that contain one or more of the following items: hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramides, vitamin C, pumpkin enzymes, jojoba oil, aloe vera, vitamin E, green tea, and collagen.
Each of these glorious ingredients possesses multiple benefits for your skin! Take a look…
1. Hyaluronic Acid
What makes it special? Hyaluronic acid is revered for its hydrating nature. As the air starts to become dryer in the fall, this is an ingredient that will counteract those effects because it both attracts and retains moisture.
It’s also very versatile and won’t conflict with other ingredients, which is why you’ll see it in so many skincare products.
Rebel Skincare just released new products…Can you guess what one of them is? Yep, Hyaluronic Acid!
2. Glycerin
What makes it special? The main reason this is one of the most attractive skincare ingredients is due to its moisture retention. Glycerin will attract moisture, while also locking it into your skin.
In addition to that, it contains soothing properties that will keep your skin calm and unagitated from any unwanted skin stressors caused by the changing seasons. (You see why this is one of the essential picks for fall skincare?)
3. Ceramides
What makes it special? Can you say anti-aging benefits? Ceramides are another common ingredient you’ll often see in skincare products for this reason.
This ingredient promotes barrier repair for your skin, basically locking in all the good and keeping away all the bad! This will also cause your skin to lock in moisture and prevent dryness. It even plays well with others (meaning it's highly compatible with other skincare ingredients)!
4. Vitamin C
What makes it special? You’re likely no stranger to the benefits of vitamin C. But just in case you are, here are some of its benefits…
It has a brightening effect, which will keep your skin from appearing lackluster as the weather gets cooler in the fall. Vitamin C also neutralizes free radicals to protect your skin from the common irritants it’ll likely come in contact with this time of year. Oh yeah…It even boosts collagen production!
5. Pumpkin Enzymes
What makes it special? Aside from this skincare ingredient just being fitting for the fall season (HELLO…PUMPKINS), they’re rich in nutrients like vitamins C, A, and E. They’re also rich in antioxidants and fatty acids.
It has hydrating benefits and even works as a gentle exfoliant for your skin. So say goodbye to dead skin cells and hello to a fresh-faced you for the approaching autumn! Glowing skin AND cooler weather…What more could you ask for?!
6. Jojoba Oil
What makes it special? This skincare ingredient is amazing simply for its ability to mimic your skin’s natural sebum (which helps regulate your skin’s moisture levels).
It’s also non-comedogenic. This means that it won’t clog your pores like many other oils would! Jojoba oil is great for ALL skin types (even oily ones). As if those benefits aren’t impressive enough, it even magically enhances the effectiveness of the other ingredients it's paired with.
7. Aloe Vera
What makes it special? Here’s another powerful skincare ingredient you’re likely familiar with. Perhaps you had an older relative who had an aloe vera plant and would use it to help soothe sunburn, etc. If so, this is because aloe vera has anti-inflammatory and healing properties!
That’s right, this amazing substance actually promotes skin healing and repair. So if you’re someone who spent a little too much time in that summer sunshine, this is one of the skincare ingredients you’ll need to include in your regimen this fall.
Also…This should be one of your essential picks because it can give you glowing skin with its non-greasy moisture!
8. Vitamin E
What makes it special? Vitamin E is mainly used for its nourishing and hydrating properties. For this reason, you’ll often find it used in many skincare oils and moisturizers that are meant to deeply nourish and hydrate your skin.
This also means that it will keep your skin soft and smooth, even with the sudden changes in the outdoor climate that typically make your skin dry and prone to roughness.
9. Green Tea
What makes it special? Green tea isn’t just for drinking. This is a favorite fall skincare ingredient for many reasons. Such as its hydrating support, anti-inflammatory properties, antioxidant protection, healing abilities, and anti-aging benefits!
What’s even cooler is…Green tea has antibacterial properties. What that means for your skin is that it will fight off bacteria that generally cause acne. So if you’re prone to acne, this should now be your go-to ingredient for skincare.
10. Collagen
What makes it special? Oh collagen, the thing that we don’t appreciate until we start to lose it. (Right?)
You probably already know what makes this a favorite skincare ingredient. Collagen plays a critical role in maintaining your skin’s elasticity and keeping it firm. You’re also likely privy to the knowledge that collagen production decreases as you age, making it a sought-after ingredient in skincare (among people over a certain age).
Collagen can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while naturally repairing your existing skin cells. It will keep your skin nourished and even add noticeable suppleness. This is also another ingredient that enhances the effectiveness of those it's paired with!
