Texas doesn’t always give us the crisp autumn we see in the movies — but that doesn’t mean your skin won’t feel the change. As we shift from hot, humid summer days to drier fall air, it’s important to give your skin some extra love.
Whether you’re dealing with post-sun damage, lingering oiliness, or seasonal dryness starting to creep in, these skincare tips for transitioning to fall will help your complexion stay balanced, calm, and hydrated.
☀️ 1. Gently Detox from Summer Build-Up
Between sweat, SPF, and outdoor activities, summer can leave your skin feeling a little congested.
What to do:
- Use a gentle exfoliant 1–2 times a week to help remove dead skin cells
- Look for ingredients like lactic acid or fruit enzymes for a smooth, non-irritating glow
💡 Fancy’s Pick: Bioelements Kerafole is a favorite for post-summer skin — it gently resurfaces without overdoing it.
💧 2. Upgrade to a More Nourishing Moisturizer
Fall air can be drying, even in Texas. If your lightweight summer lotion isn’t cutting it anymore, try switching to something more hydrating.
What to look for:
- Ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, or squalane
- Creams or gels that lock in moisture without feeling greasy
💡 Spa Favorite: We love Barrier Fix Daily Hydrator for all-day hydration that helps strengthen your skin barrier.
😌 3. Don’t Stop Wearing SPF
Just because summer is fading doesn’t mean the UV rays are gone. In fact, sun damage is one of the biggest causes of aging year-round.
Keep this up:
- Daily SPF 30+ even on cloudy or cooler days
- Especially important if you’re using exfoliants or brightening serums
💡 Pro Tip: Layer your SPF over your moisturizer in the morning and reapply with a mineral powder SPF if you wear makeup.
🧴 4. Add a Facial Oil or Serum for Extra Glow
Fall skin can start to feel dull or flaky — especially after all the heat, chlorine, and sun from summer.
Consider adding:
- A lightweight hydrating serum or facial oil at night
- Look for ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, or omega-rich oils
💡 Client Favorite: Bioelements Time Sensitive Oil for Face & Body gives that silky glow without feeling heavy.
🧖 5. Book a Seasonal Facial to Reset Your Skin

Texas may not get freezing cold right away, but now’s the time to ease into your fall routine so you’re not scrambling when that first cold front hits.
Start transitioning by:
- Swapping foaming cleansers for cream or gel-based ones
- Introducing richer night creams
- Keeping a hydrating mist in your bag or at your desk for midday refreshers
