From Summer Skin to Autumn Ritual: Your Seasonal Clean Beauty Guide

As summer fades into cooler, wetter days, your skin craves a different kind of care. At Puracosa, we believe in seasonal skincare as a ritual—not a routine. Transitioning your products doesn’t mean starting over, just choosing more consciously.
Let’s explore how to support your skin during this shift, using thoughtfully curated ingredients and clean formulations you can trust.

Why Autumn Changes Everything for Your Skin

Autumn means:

  • Colder air that can dry the skin
  • More humidity, but less actual hydration in the skin
  • Indoor heating, which strips moisture
  • Environmental stress from wind and sudden weather shifts

The result? Skin that feels tight, dry, or suddenly reactive. The solution? Restore balance with hydration, protection, and gentle renewal.

1. Hydration That Lasts: Humectants & Antioxidants

Your skin needs to retain water, not just absorb it. That’s why we focus on moisture-binding ingredients that draw moisture in and keep it there, alongside antioxidants that defend against environmental stress.

Key Ingredients:

  • Glycerin – deep hydration
  • Betaine – calming and barrier-supportive
  • Xylitylglucoside / Xylitol – sugar-based moisture magnets
  • Ectoin – protects sensitive skin from cold and wind

2. Lock In the Goodness: Oils & Creams That Seal

Light summer textures don’t always cut it in autumn. Now’s the time for rich creams and botanical oils that replenish lipids and seal in moisture.

Key Ingredients:

  • Plum kernel vegetable oil – enowned for deeply nourishing and naturally protecting dry skin from external aggressions.
  • Evening primrose seed oil – lightweight and nourishing
  • Vitamin E – protects the skin from oxidative stress

Recommended Products:

  • ODEN French Plum or Vitamin Oil - Minimalist, nutritious French oils that lock in moisture and soothe the skin.
  • Vielö Rich Face Cream - Austrian-made, rich in emollients and perfect for protecting skin during colder days. 

3. Gentle Exfoliation for Renewed Glow

Exfoliation is still important, but abrasive peels can damage your skin barrier in autumn. Opt instead for gentle resurfacing that respects your skin’s natural balance.

Key Ingredients:

  • Lactic Acid – hydrating and smoothing
  • Phytic Acid – brightens and protects
  • Fermented Extracts – rebalance the microbiome
