- Reduced air humidity – central heating and colder air "pull" moisture from the skin
- Temperature fluctuations – differences between warm days and cold nights can disrupt the skin's natural barrier
- Less sunlight – reduces natural production of vitamin D which is important for skin health
- Change of habits – we switch from light summer creams to thicker winter products

Exfoliation and dry skin
The first step in caring for dry skin is gentle removal of dead cells that can block the absorption of moisturizing ingredients. Exfoliation stimulates circulation and allows the skin to "breathe" better.
Why is exfoliation especially important in autumn?
During the summer period, skin was exposed to sun, salt water, chlorination and other factors that can lead to accumulation of dead cells. Autumn is the ideal time for a skin "reset" – removing summer residues and preparing for colder months.
Natural exfoliating soaps for autumn care
Ours exfoliating soap with ground raspberry seeds and mica crystals is ideal for autumn skin preparation as it gently removes dead cells without irritation.
Raspberry seeds provide a natural, gentle exfoliating effect, while mica crystals add a subtle glow to the skin.
Use it 2-3 times a week, always on damp skin with circular motions.
Scented salts for deeper cleansing and relaxation
For those who want more intensive autumn skin detoxification, our scented bath salts represent a perfect complementary solution.
These natural salts:
- Deeply cleanse pores and remove toxins through sweating
- Relax muscles after long autumn days
- Improve circulation which helps better skin hydration
- Provide aromatherapeutic effect that reduces stress
How to use scented salts:
Add 2-3 tablespoons of salt to warm (not hot!) bath water.
Soak for 15-20 minutes, then shower with lukewarm water and apply moisturizing cream while the skin is still damp.
Tip for autumn routine: Combine exfoliating soap 2-3 times a week with scented salt baths once a week for complete skin preparation for colder days.
Important: Avoid aggressive exfoliants that can further damage already dry skin.
Natural ingredients are always a safer choice.
After any exfoliation, always apply a moisturizing product to "seal" moisture into the skin.
Signs that it's time for exfoliation:
- Skin looks tired and dull
- Cream absorbs poorly
- Skin feels rough to the touch
- Makeup applies unevenly
Skin hydration
Hydration is the key to healthy skin, especially during autumn when the air becomes drier.
It's important to approach hydration both from within and from the outside.
Internal hydration:
- Drink enough water (minimum 8 glasses per day)
- Include omega-3 fatty acids in your diet
- Eat fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins
External hydration:
Hydration is key in the fight against dry skin. Autumn skin care requires products that are rich in natural oils and butters, such as shea butter, almond and olive oil, which deeply nourish the skin.
Soap with aloe vera extract provides intensive hydration thanks to the combination of olive, palm and coconut oil – perfect for autumn care of dry skin. Use it daily, and after showering apply moisturizing cream while the skin is still damp.
Anytime lotion - revolution in hydration
Solid body lotion which does not contain alcohol and harmful chemicals, provides long-lasting hydration and makes dry skin softer and more elastic. If you haven't tried solid body lotion before, maybe now is the right time to do it.
Anytime body lotion is made from natural ingredients that include shea butter, almond and olive oil and vitamin E.
It also contains beeswax and lavender which makes it ideal for autumn care.
How to use Anytime lotion:
Apply solid lotion to hands, palms and the entire body, in order to provide the skin with enough nutrients and hydrating substances that will help it stay smooth and elastic.
Benefits of solid lotion:
- Economical – lasts longer than liquid lotions
- Eco-friendly – without plastic packaging
- Practical – ideal for travel
- Concentrated – a small amount is sufficient
Natural lip balm
Dry and chapped lips are one of the first signs that the skin lacks hydration. Industrial balms often contain synthetic ingredients, such as petroleum derivatives, which temporarily improve the condition, but worsen dry skin in the long run. Instead, use a natural balm that contains coconut oil, beeswax and other natural ingredients, which regenerate and hydrate dry lips.
It is known that products made from petroleum derivatives are not compatible with our skin. Applying such a product essentially creates a thin film around our lips, preventing them from "breathing", which can cause even greater irritation on the lips.
Instead, grab a product that contains natural waxes, oils and butters, which will naturally protect and heal damaged lips.
Ours natural lip balms contain natural white beeswax and in combination with coconut oil make the perfect weapon in the fight against chapped lips during autumn.
Dry hands? We have a solution!
Dry skin on hands is a common problem in cold days, as hands often come into contact with cold air and water. Since the skin on hands does not produce natural oils like the skin on the rest of the body, it needs special care.
Use natural soaps and rich lotions that help your dry skin become soft and resistant to external factors.
Since the skin on our hands does not have the special ability to produce natural oils on its own, like the rest of our skin on the body, these parts are prone to irritation during cold weather.
It's time to repay them.
During cold days as prevention we recommend that you use one of our natural soaps which will nourish your skin in combination with solid lotion, with balm or even with natural infused oil, several times during the day.
In this way you will provide the necessary hydration to the skin on your hands. This way it will become soft and elastic and resistant to cold.
Beauty is from within
Dry skin care doesn't only come from the outside – what you put into your body is equally important. Consuming enough water, fruits and vegetables can help hydrate the skin from within. Dry skin often signals a lack of fluids, so it's important to drink at least two liters of water daily for the skin to remain hydrated and elastic.
Many of us don't consume enough fluids and water during the day, which actually affects our skin to become dry, dehydrated and start to "flake". Consuming 2 liters of water or fluids during the day is very important in preventing skin dehydration.
With this small trick of introducing one simple healthy habit, you can significantly improve the condition of your skin without even noticing it.
It's worth trying. Results will surely not be lacking, and you will certainly feel better and more beautiful.

- Use a humidifier in enclosed spaces
- Shower with lukewarm water – hot water dries out the skin
- Wear natural materials such as cotton and linen
- Protect your skin from wind with a scarf or hood
- Regularly use natural oils such as lavender oil
