This Is How InStyle's Beauty Team Transitions their Skincare Routines for Fall

This mask is my go-to come fall. Its Spanish clay base instantly firms, lifts, and smooths skin without causing any dryness." –Selene Milano, Senior Beauty Editor

“Come autumn, I like to switch to an oil based cleanser. I find that it’s less likely to dry out my combination skin like some gels or foams might. I like Julep’s lightweight blend, it doesn’t leave my skin greasy but it leaves a bit of moisture behind so my face doesn’t feel super tight after washing.” –Sheryl George, Beauty Editor

“Every fall, I always add a heavier moisturizer into my routine – I’m currently using the Kenzoki Belle De Jour cream, which is perfect for layering over Sunday Riley’s U.F.O Facial Oil.” –Marianne Mychaskiw, Associate Beauty Editor

“This facial oil helps keep breakouts at a minimum thanks to salicylic acid, and even lightens old acne scars.” –Marianne Mychaskiw, Associate Beauty Editor

“I’m also trying desperately to get better at using eye cream, because somehow, I always seem to forget. Kate Somerville’s Goat Milk Depuffing Eye Balm is quick and easy to apply over the top of my skincare, thanks to its streamlined glue stick-esque shape.” –Marianne Mychaskiw, Associate Beauty Editor

“I predict I’ll be doing a lot of multi-masking this fall, since—though my t-zone remains an oil slick—my forehead always gets dry during the transitional months. Cue Boscia Tsubaki Deep Hydration Sleeping Mask, which delivers major hydration by way of camellia oil and Japanese kelp.” –Dianna Mazzone, Assistant Beauty Editor

“Since my t-zone remains oily while my forehead gets dry come fall, I’ll also be changing up my exfoliation game: The Magic Pads—soaked in glycolic and hyaluronic acids—are powerful enough to slough away dead, flaky skin but don’t leave me the least bit red.” –Dianna Mazzone, Assistant Beauty Editor

“Going into fall, my complexion quickly loses its summer glow. This quick-drying serum is loaded with vitamin-C and magnesium to revive dull skin and makes my complexion look just as dewy as any highlighter.” –Erin Lukas, Beauty Writer

“Along with dull skin, my dark circles are also more prominent come fall. My solution: Talika’s reusable eye patches. These magical pads brighten, plump-up, and tighten my under eye area in just 10 minutes.” –Erin Lukas, Beauty Writer

“Since I’ll be staying in a lot more in the colder weather, I’ll inevitably be upping my mask game. My breakouts are prevalent regardless of the season, so I’ll be turning to this charcoal Origins mask to zap zits and unclog pores to prevent future pimples. This is my go-to mask for acne because although it’s clay-based, it’s gentle and doesn’t dry out my skin.” –Erin Lukas, Beauty Writer
