Transition Your Skincare Routine from Summer to Autumn

As the seasons shift, it’s time to talk about revamping your beauty regime—because that transition from warm sunshine to crisp autumn days can really take a toll on your skin! Cooler temperatures, drier air, and reduced humidity can leave your skin feeling tight, dry, and in desperate need of some TLC.

But don’t worry—keeping that summer glow going strong into autumn is possible with just a few smart tweaks and the right products. And guess what? We’ve got just the thing to help you! Enter our September Roccabox Heroes Box, designed to seamlessly transition your skincare routine into the cooler months ahead.

Let’s get down to the essentials:

Exfoliate for a Fresh Start

After all that summer fun—sun exposure, sunscreen, and sweat—your skin’s probably dealing with a buildup of dead skin cells that can clog pores and block moisture from doing its job. That’s where exfoliation comes in, and autumn is the perfect time to step it up!

In September’s Roccabox, we’ve packed two standout exfoliators. One version features the Symbiosis Balancing Sortbet Exfoliator (full size, RRP £94!), a balancing and powerful exfoliant that’s safe for regular use, while the other contains the Avant Gentle Rose Exfoliator (full size, RRP £92), designed to sweep away dead skin cells with its gentle formulation, and reveal a bright, glowing complexion.

Regular exfoliation boosts your skin’s ability to absorb all the nourishing products you'll need for the drier days ahead.

Pro Tip: Follow up exfoliation with a hydrating serum or cream to lock in that moisture!

Arm Your Skin with Antioxidants

As the weather cools, your skin’s natural defenses weaken, leaving it vulnerable to environmental stressors like free radicals, which can accelerate aging and cause dullness. That’s why antioxidants are your skin’s best friend this season.

In one version of our Heroes Box, we’ve included the renowned Zelens Power E Serum. Packed with Vitamin E and other free radical-fighters, this serum keeps your skin glowing while shielding it from environmental damage. Whether you're braving brisk autumn winds or city pollution, antioxidant protection is key.

Pro Tip: Apply antioxidant serum in the morning after cleansing and before moisturising for all-day defense.

Upgrade to Richer Formulas for Body Hydration

The dry, chilly air can drain moisture from your skin, leaving it parched. That’s when your lightweight summer lotions just won’t cut it anymore! Autumn is all about switching to richer, more nourishing products to lock in hydration.

One of our Heroes Box versions features the Noughty The Hero Body Yoghurt (full size, RRP £8.50)—a creamy, indulgent body lotion that absorbs beautifully into the skin, offering long-lasting moisture without any greasiness.

Pro Tip: Pay extra attention to areas that tend to get extra dry, like elbows, knees, and hands.

Soothe Dry Facial Skin

Even with the best moisturisers, your skin might still feel tight or dry, especially during the seasonal transition. That’s why we’ve included Murad’s Quick Relief Moisture Treatment (full size, RRP £42) in the September Heroes Box. This lightweight yet rich cream delivers instant hydration and soothing relief to dry, irritated skin - especially skin prone to itching when dry - making it perfect for the cooler months.

Pro Tip: For an added hydration boost, layer this cream over a serum or use it as a hydrating overnight mask when your skin needs extra love.

Bonus Tips for Autumn Skincare:

Don’t Skip Sunscreen: UV damage is still a threat even in autumn—keep that SPF handy!
Invest in a Humidifier: Central heating can dry out the air and your skin, so using a humidifier helps maintain moisture levels indoors.
Hydrate from Within: Keep up your water intake, and try sipping on herbal teas to stay hydrated and warm during the chilly months.

Transitioning your skincare routine doesn’t have to be complicated. With the right products and some small adjustments, you can keep your skin looking healthy, hydrated, and radiant all autumn long. And if you need a little help, our September Roccabox Heroes Box is packed with powerhouse products to guide you every step of the way.
