If you are happy with the physical and mental growth you have accomplished so far, congratulations! If you wish you could have done more, you can refocus your efforts starting now and work to achieve your goals over the next several months to finish the year strong. The goal isn’t (or shouldn’t be) just to survive this, or any other season for that matter, but to thrive physically and emotionally. With our Autumn wellness challenge ideas and ways to revamp skincare for Autumn season concerns, you’ll radiate a revitalised autumn glow!
Autumn Wellness Tips
Try making this change in season an opportunity to foster a new, positive outlook. Do the season’s charms leave you feeling a little blah or are you resistant to change? Try these Autumn wellness activities:
Take in the changing colours of Autumn and truly marvel at the rich splendour of nature as you carve out a way to enrich your mental wellness. Appreciating beauty and the transformation our landscape undergoes offers some perspective of our place in the vastness.
Rather than being sad that the leaves are dying, participate and reciprocate in the circle of life by planting bulbs, annuals, vegetables, perennials, shrubs, and trees. Visit your local garden centre and ask what is best to sow and when.
Getting back to our roots, literally or metaphorically, and remembering that we don’t need things to be content is a beautiful way to pay homage to the Autumn season. Planning for and taking charge of your own bounty can be wonderfully esteeming and rewarding, while getting your hands in the soil and inhaling the brisk fresh air can revitalise your spirit.
Snap up fresh, locally grown produce like leeks, courgettes, marrow, apples and pears at a farmers’ market and make yourself a nourishing meal with the season’s flavours.
Cultivate yourself! Underneath that growing pile of leaves, the earth is going to sleep, in a sense, giving us time and space to focus on other things. Take advantage of these shorter days and longer nights to read and explore anything that interests you. With no more lazy days of summer to distract you, what’s to stop you now?
SavoUr the flavours of the season. If Pumpkin Spice isn’t your thing, try apple cider spiced with cinnamon.
To go along with your Autumn refresh, take a moment to review where you are with your wellness plan. If you can feel yourself frowning and furrowing your brow due to not wanting to partake in upcoming holiday plans, put your well-being (and beauty!) first. Go ahead and break a few “family” holiday rules and make your own traditions this year instead.
Once we recognise nature’s grand plan, it’s easier to grasp how some things are more significant than petty worries about whether you want to celebrate Halloween or Guy Fawkes. Whatever you choose to do is entirely up to you. You can pick what you like and leave the bad apples behind to nurture your relationship with Autumn.
Autumn Skin Care Tips
Now that you’ve collected your senses and the crisper, drier air threatens to wither your skin like the leaves on the trees, it’s time to switch up your autumn skincare routine! Here are our Autumn skincare tips to make sure you don’t just weather Autumn, but do Autumn better:
Rethink Your Autumn Skincare Cream: For a lovely and luminous complexion as you progress from Summer to Autumn, rethink your moisturiser to keep up with one of the most important Autumn skincare trends 2024: ensuring your skin’s protective barrier stays healthy and intact. Our favourite picks of the Pevonia crop:
Autumn Moisturiser For Dry Skin: If you were born dry, with never a glimmer of shine, and skin that feels like it can never get enough moisture, our Rejuvenating Dry Skin Cream will keep your skin in the end zone. It does it all with line-smoothing and repairing Pear Extract, Royal Jelly Extract, antioxidant Vitamins A, C, and E, etc.
Autumning For Ceramide Moisturisers: Naturally ceramide-rich oils like Jojoba Oil, Safflower Seed Oil, Squalane, and Soybean Oil are found in most of our skin care cream formulas as the benefits of Ceramides for skin are essential in Autumn and Winter moisturisers. They help seal in moisture, promote repair, and strengthen skin barrier function and health, shielding against the environment, dryness, irritation, infection, and early signs of ageing.
Our #1 worldwide top-selling Power Repair® Marine Collagen Cream may just be the hero your skin has been waiting for! It features Safflower Seed Oil and Squalane with high Ceramide concentrations plus Marine Collagen and Hyaluronic Acid to give skin a line-fighting boost and help prevent early signs of ageing. If redness and parched Autumn air have you worried, our RS2 Care Cream for Rosacea is the # 2 top-selling moisturiser for a reason. It contains moisturising Ceramides and soothing Green Tea and Liquorice to calm and soothe without redness and irritation.
Don’t Autumn for Old Playbooks: It can be tempting to do what you always have, but Autumn is a season that calls for change. But how do you know what your skin needs? If it feels tight, gets itchy, or appears pink, try cleansing with a cream cleanser to up the stakes on your Autumn skincare routine. When humidity plummets, a creamy, sulfate-free natural face cleanser for sensitive skin can help fortify your protective moisture barrier.
Maybe you’ve had combination or oily skin all your life, but lately, hardly recognise your once oily t-zone’s lack of shine. It is normal for our natural oil levels to Autumn off as we age. But don’t start slugging to fix it - that was so last year and not good for any skin type! For misbehaving skin, get out in front of dryness without feeling weighed down with our Lumafirm® Repair Cream - Lift & Glow. With non-GMO Soybean Oil, it delivers breathable moisture and more even, tighter-looking skin. You don’t have to say goodbye to your trusty standby altogether. You can also apply a richer cream onto drier areas, like your cheeks, to help your skin look and feel comfortable once more.
Get a New Game Plan: Mix things up with a natural Peptide moisturiser by day and a Retinol cream at night to keep your skin in the game.
A moisturiser with Peptides will give your skin a fighting chance against the Autumn season of life and keep you current with 2024 trends. Our Stem Cells Phyto-Elite® Intensive Cream gets to the root of the matter with plant based Argan and Comfrey Root Stem Cells and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptides-7 to protect the skin from premature ageing. Palmitoyl Tetrapeptides-7, composed of Glycine, Glutamine, Proline, and Arginine amino acids, is proven to improve elasticity by 17% on the face and 27% on the neck, and increase firmness by 19% on the face and 40% on the neck. It slows the breakdown of the skin matrix and reduces inflammatory chemical messengers (Interleukins) that accelerate the ageing process. That means fewer wrinkles and more youthful-looking skin. If we could put this pick in our fantasy football line-up, we would!
Pevonia’s Micro-Retinol® Essential Moisturiser is a skin-friendly Retinol cream. Specially formulated to deliver resurfacing benefits without the sensitising effects of prescription retinoids, it grants us the privilege to say “skin-friendly and retinol” in the same breath! With moisturising Squalane, Collagen, Vitamin E, Safflower Seed Oil, Hyaluronic Acid, and illuminating fat-soluble Vitamin C, this natural skin care cream will take your skin over the goal line.
Layer Up for Autumn: Some people call this time of year football season, but we call it layers season. Layering a moisturising cream over a moisture-infusing serum will keep your skin from looking like the brittle leaves collecting at your feet.
An Autumn skincare routine for normal skin may only require one additional layer to your regular regime - a moisturising serum with Hyaluronic Acid before your moisturiser.
For ageing concerns, amplify the results from your day and night game plan with the Micro-Retinol® Essential Serum or Stem Cells Phyto-Elite® Intensive Serum.
Drier skin types will appreciate richer oil-based versions like our Vitaminic Concentrate or De-Stress Escape Aromatic Oil. Both contain Ceramide-rich Safflower Oil that dry skin craves and relaxing essential oils to help you tackle your hectic Autumn schedule, looking dewy and feeling calm.
Stick to Seasonless Protection: Just because Autumn has a few more grey days than its sunshine-y predecessor doesn’t mean you get to put away the sunscreen. Our Hydrating Sunscreen SPF40 does more than shield your skin against UV rays. With Jojoba Oil, it serves as an all skin types moisturiser with sunscreen, and the Withania Somnifera provides antioxidant bluelight protection, ideal for chilly Autumn days spent indoors.
Autumn’s Magical Mask: Take a breather once or twice weekly to recharge your batteries with our Ageless Skin Collagen Mask. With deeply moisturising Shea Butter, rejuvenating Beta-Carotene, and more, this Marine Collagen face mask delivers exceptional line-smoothing skin barrier support.
Eye’d Autumn Again: Autumning in love with a new eye care formula is also on this year’s Autumn menu! Switch from a lightweight eye gel to a richer formula to prevent the first fine lines around the eyes, a tell tale sign of surface dehydration. Or layer a moisturising eye cream on top of a natural under eye gel for a refreshed look.
