BETWEEN CHILLS AND SCARES, YOUR SKIN’S HAD ENOUGH OF NIGHTMARES

October: the month you sip your first hot soup of the season (are you chunky soup team or soupy soup team?), dig out that forgotten scarf, and suddenly realise your face looks more like a Tim Burton character than a fragrance ad. 

Because autumn doesn’t just bring fallen leaves and pumpkin spice lattes… it also means temperature swings, dry air, chilly mornings and the first cutaneous jump scares: tightness, zombie skin, lips like sandpaper, and those pesky spots that show up just before a date. 

So yes: if there’s one month to talk about fears (Halloween style 👻) and how to take care of your face in autumn, it’s this one. 

SCARE #1: DRYNESS

Like in classic horror films: you see it coming, but the scare still gets you. Step outside into the crisp autumn air and your skin reacts drier than a glass of chalk dust. 

The fix: 

  • Use a gentle cleanser that doesn’t strip (harsh soaps = guaranteed slasher-movie scream 🔪). 

  • Layer on a moisturiser with water-binding ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin. 

  • Don’t forget the eye contour: it suffers double with cold winds and endless screens. 

LITTLE SCARE #2: ZOMBIE SKIN

That summer glow has literally gone down the drain. What’s left? First patchy, then a dull grey tone—like an extra on The Walking Dead. 

The fix: 

  • Light exfoliation 1–2 times a week. No, don’t go full Jason with a chainsaw. 

  • Antioxidant boost (vitamin C, chebula) to bring your skin back to life. 

  • Extra help: a subtle self-tanner that says “healthy outdoorsy guy” not “traffic cone orange”. 

BIG SCARE #3: SURPRISE SPOTS

Friday the 13th before a night out. Monday morning before an important meeting. You look in the mirror and… bam! A pimple jumps out like a bad sequel from the 2000s. 

The fix: 

  • Keep greasy popcorn fingers off your face. 

  • Use products with salicylic acid, clay or niacinamide so those breakouts don’t turn into endless horror franchises. 

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR FACE IN AUTUMN (WITHOUT DYING OF FRIGHT) 

Your anti-scare routine in a nutshell: 

  1. GENTLE CLEANSING → avoid over-drying. 

  1. DEEP HYDRATION that feels like water → cream that protects round the clock. 

  1. LIGHT EXFOLIATION → banish zombie vibes. 

  1. ANTIOXIDANTS → extra defence against cold + pollution. 

  1. SUNSCREEN → yes, even in October. 

HALLOWEEN STYLE: WHAT ARE YOU MOST AFRAID OF?

Conclusion: The cold and the scares will pass, but your skin stays with you. Treat it with dignity, because not even a Ghostface mask can hide a poorly cared-for face.

P.D.: This week's blog is sponsored by our limited edition soap from Halloween ZombieA spell that's cooler than a shiver down your spine, more magical than a Harry Potter incantation, and smells richer than a waist tie. In store, for a limited time only. Run, fly faster than Casper on moving day.

Between cold and scares... your skin is not free from troubles

HALLOWEEN STYLE: WHAT ARE YOU MOST AFRAID OF?

Because we’ve all got skincare terrors: dryness creepier than IT, shiny face like sweaty Freddy, or surprise breakouts before a hot date. 

Truth is: cold and scares will pass, but your skin is here to stay. Treat it well—because not even Ghostface’s mask can hide a neglected face.
