You often hear about switching up your skincare routine when the season shifts—and that is true, to a degree. Especially when it’s full-on winter, you may want to integrate a thicker moisturizer or adjust your SPF. But September still calls for lightweight, refreshing, simple skincare regimens that prioritize hydration and radiance. Changing everything suddenly can result in dryness, dull skin, and breakouts.

The Rosewater Collection has always been about minimal ingredients and maximum efficacy. It is both simple and versatile enough for transitional skincare. Hydrate and soothe your skin while you’re still hitting the last days of the beach, rooftops, and those lingering summer activities. 

Whether that’s a new way to lock in hydration or a trending ingredient that’s ideal for changing seasons, we’ve got you covered. Here are our top ways to extend the summer while keeping your skin fresh and glowing.

Have a Core Skincare Routine + Treatments

A 20-step skincare routine really helps no one. Sometimes paring it all back to just three steps is the way to go as summer shifts to fall. A reset, if you will. 

• Cleanse: Wash your face with a milky cleanser that melts away dirt and impurities while keeping skin feeling hydrated.
• Tone: Sweep away more impurities while intensely hydrating skin with this gentle toner.
  
• Moisturize: Hydrate with a lightweight moisturizer that provides that needed burst of refreshment.

Then, add targeted facial care treatments as needed. By choosing to layer on steps as you go allows you to intentionally pay attention to the ebbing and flowing of your skin’s needs. Need extra face glow? That could be a serum. Feeling like your skin is dull? A Rosewater toner could help fix that.

• Serum: Feeling like you need more moisture? Adding a soothing serum step can really elevate your routine.
• Oil: Pressing a nourishing rose oil onto skin after a sun-soaked day can help your skin recover and retain moisture.
• Clay Mask: Experiencing troubled skin from the shift in temperatures? Choose a clay mask that draws out impurities without drying out skin.
• Jelly Mask: If you have that tight, dull skin feeling, try a jelly mask that revitalizes and locks in moisture.
  

Use Your Faves in New Ways

Just because you’re not swapping out your whole routine doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with the trends you’re seeing on your FYP. Take part in the slugging trend with our Rosewater & Glycerin. By spritzing this glycerin rosewater formula over your nighttime skincare routine, you are using the humectant to lock it all in—resulting in glowing skin in the morning.

We also love a little highlight, and it’s all about subtlety right now. Instead of a full-on cosmetic shine, tap our Rose Oil onto the high planes of your face (cheekbones, bridge of the nose, and Cupid’s bow) for a highlight with skincare benefits. 

Pay Attention to Ingredients

As summer winds down, you may be dealing with some unwanted skin concerns that come from sweat, sand, and too much fun. We aren’t saying to stop those activities, just to pivot when it comes to the ingredients you’re focusing on. The Rosewater Collection features trending key ingredients formulated to target some of these exact pesky side effects of summer. Look for these ingredients as the seasons shift and you’ll have a glowy skincare routine in no time.

• Hyaluronic Acid: Locks in moisture for intense hydration, and can be found in our cleanser, toner, serum, and moisturizer.
• Niacinamide: Helps soothe and balance skin, and can be found in our moisturizer.
• Plant-Derived Squalane: Hydrates and helps support the skin barrier, and can be found in our Rose Oil. 
• Aloe Vera: The famed soothing ingredient that’s perfect for in-between seasons, can be found in our clay mask and serum.
  

Never Stop Misting

Misting is a lifestyle, and no seasonal shifts can change that. Whether you use our original Rosewater Facial Mist as a skin prep step before you begin to apply makeup, or our Rosewater & Glycerin for added glow, don’t forget it also is a refresher, a little mid-day wake-up, and just all-around an emotional support step. And if you’re not keeping your facial mist in the fridge, what are you doing?
