The #1 fall skincare mistake most women make…

Is your skin freaking out this fall? Let’s fix that

Hello Reader,

​

If your skin’s been feeling tight, dry, or just off lately, you’re not imagining it.

​

Fall is when I start hearing the same story from so many of my patients:

​

“I didn’t change anything, but my skin feels so much drier all of a sudden!”

The truth is, this season brings subtle environmental shifts: cooler air, lower humidity, more heater time. All of these quietly pull moisture right out of your skin. But it’s not just about needing a thicker moisturizer.

​

Fall dryness is your skin’s way of saying:

​

“Hey, my barrier needs a little TLC, inside and out.”

In this week’s health article, I break down why your skin gets drier in fall, what’s happening beneath the surface, and how to bring your glow back without overhauling your entire routine.

​

In the article, I'll cover:

​

​

What you’ll learn in the Article:

​

  • Why humidity changes mess with your skin barrier
  • How hydration really works (and why it starts in your gut)
  • The best foods + fats for fall skin health
  • My go-to barrier repair tips (no 10-step routine required)

​

Your skin doesn’t want more, it wants balance.

​

So before you swap your skincare products, check in with your hydration, your nutrition, and your stress levels. That’s where true glow begins.
