Autumn Glow

Looking for ways to extend your summer glow this autumn and keep skin feeling fresh and rejuvenated? Alex Johnston, skincare writer and General Manager at renowned health and beauty emporium John Bell & Croyden, offers his expert advice

As the days get shorter and the weather changes, the way our skin reacts to the new, cooler temperatures can be equally seasonal. As we transition into autumn, the air tends to get drier, meaning our skin loses its moisture, making it more prone to increased sensitivity, dryness and irritation. Here are my top picks for how to brighten up your skincare routine this autumn

DECREE Peptide Emollient Veil +

Richly moisturised, smooth and radiant skin, coming right up. Brought to you by doctor-led brand Decree, this

richer formula is designed specifically for drier skin types. It also treats skin dehydrated by air travel, extremes of temperature and fatigue. A staple for your autumn skincare routine. Perfect for complexions in need of extra hydration and a moisture boost, this replenishing cream is enriched with youth-prolonging peptides, ultra-hydrating hyaluronic acid and squalene, and an intensely conditioning botanical oil blend combined with brightening antioxidants to keep skin looking and feeling radiant, firm and supple.

How to use: Massage two pumps over the face and neck including the eye area and lips

DERM INSTITUTE Cellular Rejuvenating Neck And Décolleté Serum

Getting rid of the bottlenecks when it comes to anti-ageing. Many people forget to extend their skincare to their necks, leaving it without the moisture and targeted ingredients it needs to maintain a youthful look. This nourishing skincare treatment from Derm Institute is designed to change that. Made with powerful botanical ingredients, the intensive formula is reflective of the brand’s drive for clinical-style skincare from the comfort of the home. The advanced peptide complex works to help reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles around the Y line of the neck, to give a firmer and tighter appearance.

How to use: Apply to thoroughly clean skin after toner. Once dried, follow by applying moisturise.
