Menteath Skincare Guide to Autumn Radiance

Embrace the Change: Menteath Skincare’s Guide to Autumn Radiance

As summer quietly retreats, leaving behind memories of sun-drenched days and warm, golden light, autumn steps forward with its crisp air and vibrant hues. The landscape changes, and so too should our approach to skincare. At Menteath Skincare, we believe in harmonizing with the rhythms of nature, and as the season shifts, it’s time to nurture your skin with the care it truly deserves.

Here’s how you can embrace the change and ensure your skin remains luminous and healthy through the autumn months.

1. Transition with a Gentle Cleanse

With the arrival of autumn, the environment around us becomes less forgiving. The cooler air can leave your skin feeling tight and dry, which is why it’s essential to begin your routine with a gentle yet thorough cleanse. At Menteath, we recommend opting for a cleanser that respects your skin’s natural barrier—removing impurities while preserving the essential oils that keep your skin balanced and hydrated.

Our Menteath Loch Blossom and Orchy Path Facial Cleansers are both formulated with soothing and protective botanicals, perfect for the transition from summer to autumn. It leaves your skin feeling refreshed without stripping it of its natural moisture, setting the stage for the nourishment that follows.

2. Hydrate with the Richness of the Season

As the leaves turn to gold, so should your moisturizer reflect the richness of the season. The drop in temperature and humidity means your skin requires more hydration to maintain its softness and resilience. Consider layering a hydrating serum under your moisturizer to provide an extra boost of moisture.

Menteath’s winning Autumn moisturiser, Smoked Bay Hand & Bodyh Balm is crafted with nourishing ingredients like shea butter, beeswax and hemp seed butter, designed to lock in moisture and keep your skin supple. Its rich yet non-greasy formula is perfect for providing the extra care your skin needs as the days grow cooler.

3. Protect Your Skin, Even in Cooler Weather

Though the intensity of the summer sun has faded, UV rays are still present and can cause damage. It’s easy to forget sunscreen when the weather cools, but it remains a crucial step in your skincare routine. A lightweight mineral SPF is your skin’s shield against the subtle yet persistent rays of autumn.

Additionally, the brisk autumn wind can sap moisture from your skin, so consider adding a facial oil to your routine. Our Nourishing Facial Oils, Scorched Earth and Dusk Wood provides a protective layer that seals in hydration, leaving your skin smooth and radiant despite the elements, with that beautiful aromatic scent of smoke and wood resembling the first fire lit of the cooler months.

4. Exfoliate with Care

Autumn is a time of shedding and renewal, a natural process mirrored in the falling leaves. Your skin, too, benefits from a gentle exfoliation to remove dead cells and reveal the fresh, glowing layer beneath. However, moderation is key—over-exfoliating can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it vulnerable.

Our Menteath Gentle Exfoliating Scrub, Smoked Bay Hand and Body Scrub is designed to provide just the right amount of exfoliation without irritation. Infused with natural botanics and fine apricot granules, it delicately buffs away dullness, promoting a smooth and even complexion.

5. Nourish from Within

At Menteath, we believe that true beauty comes from within, and this principle extends to how you nourish your body. As you enjoy the bountiful harvests of autumn, remember that what you eat plays a significant role in the health of your skin. Incorporate seasonal fruits and vegetables rich in antioxidants and vitamins, like pumpkins, sweet potatoes, and apples, to support your skin’s health from the inside out.

6. Rest and Restore

As the days shorten and the nights grow longer, take this as a gentle reminder to slow down and embrace rest. Your skin regenerates and repairs itself during sleep, making it the perfect time to indulge in a restorative nighttime routine.

Menteath’s Overnight Recovery Oil, Wild Path Body Ritual is your perfect companion for the autumn nights. Infused with calming ingredients like rose and lsandalwood, it works overnight to repair and rejuvenate, ensuring you wake up to soft, replenished skin.
