Autumn:

A Challenge for the Skin Barrier

As summer fades into autumn, the skin barrier faces unique seasonal stressors:

  • Lower humidity & cooler air → increased TEWL (transepidermal water loss) and hydration loss.

  • Wind & fluctuating temperatures → micro-inflammation and barrier disruption.

  • Indoor heating → oxidative stress, dryness, and sensitivity.

This “perfect storm” often results in tightness, redness, and barrier fatigue, making autumn a critical season for preventive skincare.
