‘I’m a Dermatologist, and These Are the 5 Essentials I Recommend for Radiant Skin This Fall’

Have you noticed that as the weather’s cooled your skin is starting to feel a little drier than usual? That’s because the humidity has started to drop, Dr. Nazarian says. She recommends swapping out drying products like retinoids for a more moisturizing, peptide-heavy product, like this essence from Sunday Riley. “I am always a fan of peptides, as they’re generally a way to encourage anti-aging pathways in the skin,” she says.

Formulated with vitamin C, retinol, and acerola cherry extract, this lightweight serum from StriVectin helps to visibly brighten complexion. Just make sure to follow it with your favorite moisturizer to keep skin hydrated.

When your under-eyes need a brightening pick-me-up or you want to cover up a blemish, Dr. Nazarian suggests you turn to this fan-favorite concealer for its skin-care ingredients. “Makeup with hydrating ingredients [is] a good idea when the weather cools,” she says. “Ingredients like squalene and hyaluronic acid can… improve how well [your skin] holds onto moisture.” Added bonus? It comes with a makeup sponge that’ll help you blend out the concealer.

Dealing with dull skin in the fall is no joke—but exfoliating with this pumpkin mask will help your face look smoother and more radiant. Plus, using it will leave you feeling festive, thanks to its pumpkin pie scent.

Don’t have time to do an exfoliating mask? No worries because this lactic acid treatment will exfoliate your skin (and make it glowier), minus all the waiting-around-for-it-to-dry time. “Lactic acid offers a more gentle exfoliation than scrubs and physical exfoliation,” Dr. Nazarian says. And in the fall, healthy-looking skin is always a radiance-boosting win.
