When the cooler months arrive, most of us look forward to cozy sweaters, hot drinks, and crisp autumn air. But for our skin, the change in weather can be a little less welcoming.
What Happens to Your Skin in Cooler Weather
As the temperature drops, several environmental shifts can take a toll on your skin:
• Lower humidity pulls moisture from your skin, leaving it dehydrated.
• Cooler temperatures cause your blood vessels to constrict, reducing your skin’s natural oil production.
• Indoor heating systems dry out the air even more, stealing moisture from your skin.
• Wind exposure can irritate skin, leading to redness and sensitivity.
Together, these factors weaken your skin’s protective barrier, which may leave it feeling tight, flaky, or more prone to irritation.
How to Support Your Skin This Season
The key to healthy skin during “sweater weather” is keeping your barrier strong, hydrated, and soothed. Emogene & Co. offers targeted products to help you do just that.
1. Toner
• Renew Facial Toner
This gentle toner softens the skin and refines the appearance of pores for a healthy-looking complexion. It clears away surface debris, pollution particles, and residual impurities, while leaving skin refreshed and prepped to absorb the benefits of the rest of your skincare routine.
2. Moisturizers
• Restore Intensive Night Cream
A rich cream that nourishes and strengthens the skin barrier while delivering long-lasting hydration. Use it morning or night as the final step to lock in moisture. Bakuchiol is a botanical retinol alternative that boosts cellular renewal to smooth, firm, and refined skin texture. Gentle on sensitive skin, it delivers results without the redness or irritation of synthetic retinols and is safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
• Hydrate Moisture Accelerator
A lightweight hydrating serum that draws moisture deeper into the skin, enhancing your routine and leaving skin supple. Can be used alone or layered under your moisturizer for extra hydration.
3. Facial Oils
• Revitalize Facial Oil
Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, this oil plumps skin, softens fine lines, and protects against environmental damage. Recommended for slightly dry to normal skin types.
• Recovery Facial Oil
Supports healthy cell turnover, brightens the complexion, reduces inflammation, and locks in hydration while repairing the skin barrier. Perfect for mature/overly flaky dry skin that no longer experiences breakouts.
• Repair Facial Oil
Perfect for combination, oily, or blemish-prone skin. It balances hydration, targets breakouts, minimizes pores, and calms irritation.
4. Occlusive Balms
• The Healer All-Purpose Balm
Made with seven natural ingredients, this balm is ideal for stubborn dry spots like elbows, knees, feet, or lips. It also works wonderfully on eczema-prone skin, helping restore comfort and protection. Lastly, this multi-purpose balm is wonderful for removing makeup + oil impurities while also being ideal as a last step in your skincare regimen to lock in your other serums and moisturizers to prevent transdermal water loss (TEWL).

When sweater weather arrives, your skin needs extra care to stay comfortable and radiant. By adjusting your routine with hydrating, nourishing, and barrier-protecting products, you can keep your skin healthy all season long.
