Fall Skincare Tips: How to Prep Your Skin for Winter

As the air cools and the leaves begin to turn, your skin feels the change too. Fall is that in-between season — not quite the dry chill of winter, but no longer the humid warmth of summer. It’s the perfect time to repair summer’s sun damage, replenish hydration, and strengthen your skin barrier before the cold sets in.

Here’s how to transition your skincare routine for fall and set yourself up for healthy, glowing skin all winter long.

1. Switch to a Gentle Cleanser

As temperatures drop, your skin needs a softer, more nourishing cleanse. Harsh foams or stripping formulas can disrupt your skin barrier — so swap them for hydrating, low-pH cleansers that clean without over-drying.

🧴 Mask Marie Picks:

These formulas keep your skin balanced and baby-soft — ready for the hydration to come.

2. Bring Back the Hydration

Crisp air and lower humidity mean your skin loses moisture faster. Now’s the time to layer hydration from your toner to your cream.

Start with a hydrating toner or essence, follow with a serum packed with hyaluronic acid, and finish with a barrier-repairing moisturizer that locks it all in.

3. Exfoliate (Gently!)

Dry air can lead to dull, flaky skin — but over-exfoliating can make it worse. Choose gentle exfoliants that refine texture without irritation.

🌿 Mask Marie Recommends:

Gentle exfoliation helps your hydrating products absorb better — and your glow return faster.

4. Mask More Often

Fall is made for cozy rituals — and nothing says self-care like a K-beauty sheet mask. Hydrating, calming, and packed with nutrients, they’re your shortcut to soft, radiant skin.

5. Moisturize Deeply — Your Skin’s Best Winter Defense

As fall transitions into winter, your moisturizer becomes your skin’s first line of defense against dryness, irritation, and barrier damage. Look for formulas that not only lock in hydration but also help your skin recover from environmental stress.

🧴 Mask Marie Favorites:

  • CENTELLIAN 24 Madeca Cream — A K-beauty cult favorite powered by Centella Asiatica extract (TECA) to soothe irritation, calm redness, and strengthen the skin barrier. Lightweight yet deeply restorative, it’s ideal for acne-prone, sensitive, or combination skin that needs healing without heaviness.
  • CENTELLIAN 24 Madeca Cream Time Reverse — A richer, anti-aging version that adds collagen and peptides to improve elasticity and firmness. Perfect for dry or mature skin, or anyone who wants extra nourishment and wrinkle care through the colder months.

Both creams deliver Centellian’s signature skin-repairing benefits, helping you maintain a healthy, resilient complexion all season long.

6. Don’t Ditch the SPF

Even when it’s overcast, UV rays can still cause damage and dullness. Keep sunscreen in your daily routine to protect your glow and prevent winter spots or irritation.

    Look for hydrating, lightweight formulas infused with niacinamide or green tea — ideal for cooler months when your skin needs both moisture and protection.

Fall in Love with Your Skin Again

Your skin deserves the same seasonal reset you give your wardrobe and routine. As the weather cools, take a few extra minutes to cleanse gently, hydrate deeply, and care intentionally.

Each layer you apply now builds resilience — so when winter arrives, your skin won’t just survive the chill; it’ll glow through it.
