The trends that define the season.

Retinol, soft smokey eye and skin barrier repair: what your skin and makeup need this fall-winter.

Retinol skincare fall 2026
Skincare F/W 2026

Retinol Season

Less sun means it's finally time. Start at 0.025% retinol at night, twice a week. It regenerates, smooths and fades dark spots while you sleep.

Soft smokey eye fall makeup 2026
Makeup F/W 2026

Soft Smokey Eye

The smokey eye is back — blended, personal, imperfect. Ash grey, plum, chocolate brown. Less perfection, more character. Lip: dark nude or burgundy.

Skin barrier ceramides winter hydration
Skincare F/W 2026

Skin Barrier Repair

Cold air breaks down your lipid barrier. Ceramides, panthenol and hyaluronic acid are the ingredients of the season. Stronger skin, less sensitivity.

How to switch your routine
for the colder months.

4 concrete changes from summer to fall. No overhauling, no buying everything new.

🔄

Switch your moisturiser

Your summer oil-free gel isn't enough anymore. Move to a ceramide-rich cream or a shea butter formula. Your skin will feel the difference in week one.

🌙

Introduce retinol

Nights only. Start at 0.025%, twice a week. Increase gradually. Always layer a moisturiser on top and wear SPF 50 every single morning.

🛡️

Repair your barrier

Cold and central heating both strip your lipid barrier. Add a niacinamide + ceramide serum before your cream. Less irritation, fewer red patches.

☀️

Keep the SPF

Less sunshine doesn't mean no UV. UVA rays are active year-round. With retinol in your routine, SPF 50 is non-negotiable, not optional.

Your questions,

The real questions everyone asks about skincare.

La mejor rutina skincare básica consta de 4 pasos: limpieza, sérum activo, hidratante y protector solar SPF 50. Por la noche sustituye el SPF por un aceite o crema más nutritiva. La constancia es más importante que el número de productos.
Para el acné los ingredientes más efectivos son: ácido salicílico al 2% en la limpieza, niacinamida al 10% en sérum y gel de aloe vera como hidratante ligero. Evita aceites pesados y siempre usa SPF, ya que muchos activos anticarné aumentan la fotosensibilidad.
No son excluyentes. El sérum actúa en profundidad con ingredientes activos a alta concentración; la crema hidratante sella e hidrata la barrera cutánea. El orden correcto es sérum primero, crema después. Omitir la crema reduce la eficacia del sérum.
El skincare coreano tradicional tiene hasta 10 pasos, pero lo esencial para pieles occidentales son 5-6: limpiador oil, limpiador agua, tónico, sérum, hidratante y SPF de día. Adapta la rutina a tus necesidades reales, no a un número fijo de pasos.
Hyaluronic acid draws up to 1000 times its weight in water into the skin. It plumps dehydration lines and improves texture within weeks. It works for all skin types, including oily skin. Apply it on slightly damp skin for best absorption.
Glass skin is clear, even-toned and luminous — no filter needed. Achieve it with intense hydration (hyaluronic acid and ceramides), gentle AHA exfoliation 1-2 times a week, and daily SPF. It is a skin condition, not a makeup effect.
Choose SPF 50+ in a gel or oil-free fluid texture, non-comedogenic. Mineral filters (zinc, titanium) are more mattifying; chemical filters tend to feel lighter. Avoid creamy or stick textures that can clog pores.
You can introduce retinol from age 25 as a preventive step, or earlier for active acne. Start with 0.1-0.3% once a week at night, after cleansing and before moisturiser. Increase frequency gradually. SPF the next day is non-negotiable.
