10 Skincare Tips for Fall

Here are 10 tips to help you take good care of your skin this season.

Fall is an important transition period, with skin subjected to temperature variations and drier air. With less exposure to the sun, it’s also a good time to start a new routine to address a specific condition or correct traces left by the sun.

Here are 10 tips to help you take good care of your skin this season:

1. Hydration

Look for moisturizers with richer formulas to prevent dryness or dehydration. Ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and natural oils are ideal. Also, remember to hydrate from the inside out with adequate daily water intake.

2. Gentle Cleansing

Use a mild cleanser to avoid further drying. Avoid alcohol-based products, which can aggravate dryness.

3. Exfoliation

Exfoliate your skin once or twice a week to remove dead skin cells, but don’t overdo it. Choose gentle exfoliants such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) or enzymes. Bear in mind, however, that exfoliating ingredients such as AHAs and BHAs can be aggressive to the skin. While they have many benefits, they can also increase sensitivity, irritation and redness. During the autumn months, when skin is already undergoing many changes, it may be time to reduce the use of chemical exfoliants and other powerful active ingredients. This is the time to take a break from intense treatments and focus on moisturizing and protecting the skin. You can continue to use a gentle exfoliant once or twice a week, but avoid overusing it.

4. Nourishing Serums

Incorporate an antioxidant-rich serum (such as one with vitamin C) to protect your skin from free radicals and boost its radiance.

PRO-DERM
CE Peptides Serum
VIVIER

5. Sun Protection

Even in autumn, it’s essential to use sunscreen. UV rays can damage the skin, even on cloudy days. We recommend it 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

6. Lips & Hands

Don’t forget to protect your lips with a moisturizing balm and your hands with a rich cream, especially after washing or before going to bed, for plumped-up lips and soft hands when you wake up.

7. Nutrition

Eat a diet rich in omega-3s, fruits and vegetables to nourish your skin from the inside out.

8. Targeted Treatments

Incorporate active ingredients to address your main concerns, such as dark spots, redness, sagging, wrinkles or fine lines.

9. Personalized Routine

Listen to your skin’s needs and adjust your routine accordingly. Every skin reacts differently to seasonal changes. Consult skincare professionals to help you build your routine and choose the right ingredients for optimal results. They will also be able to give you precise indications on how to integrate new ingredients without pronounced side effects.

10. Professional Treatment

There’s nothing like a professional skincare treatment with active ingredients to get a new skincare routine off on the right foot. A crucial step towards clear, blackhead-free, deeply cleansed skin. The professional who performs your skincare routine will also have a very precise idea of your skin’s needs, and will be able to give you their best recommendations. Discuss which tools to use at home (ZIIP, LED mask, micro-needling, gua sha, cryo sticks…) to maintain results at home.

By following these tips, you’ll maximize your efforts to keep your skin soft and radiant during the autumn season. Discover all our Fall Favourites.

Vintner’s Daughter Q&A: Active Renewal Cleanser

Vintner's Daughter has unveiled their latest skincare innovation: Active Renewal Cleanser. Find out what makes it a game changer for your skincare routine.

Active Renewal Cleanser, the latest addition from award-winning brand Vintner’s Daughter has arrived, adding to their line of simple, minimalist skincare. Four years in the making and their third product launch in ten years, we are excited for you to discover this face wash like no other. Founder April and her team answered some of the most asked questions about their newest skin-beautifying formula.

Keep on reading to learn more about Active Renewal Cleanser and how to incorporate it into your daily routine.

Q&A WITH VINTNER’S DAUGHTER

WHAT MAKES ACTIVE RENEWAL CLEANSER DIFFERENT?

APRIL & TEAM: “This innovative formula not only thoroughly cleanses, but also invigorates the skin so that it is more healthy, PH balanced, more plump, clear, and bright. It’s hard to put into words, but it just feels renewed and energized with each cleanse.”

WHY CLEANSER NOW?

APRIL & TEAM: “The short answer is that we heard you. We often ask what products you want to see next and the first amongst them has always been cleanser. We too felt that there was not a formula that lived up to our standards of performance, quality and craftsmanship. So we spent nearly four years formulating Active Renewal Cleanser.”

WHAT MAKES IT A 2-IN-1 CLEANSER?

APRIL & TEAM: “At the heart of the formula is Vintner’s Daughter Phyto Radiance Infusion™ which harnesses the power of full-spectrum water and oil-soluble solutions to thoroughly and gently cleanse the skin with every use.”

WHICH SKIN TYPES ARE BEST FOR ACTIVE RENEWAL CLEANSER?

APRIL & TEAM: “Active Renewal Cleanser benefits all skin including blemish-prone, sensitive, dehydrated and/or mature skin. Best results when used daily morning and night.”

WHAT IS THE ROUTINE?

APRIL & TEAM: “Adding Active Renewal Cleanser before you use Active Treatment Essence and Active Botanical Serum ensures your skin has all it needs to be healthy and radiant.”

HOW DO YOU APPLY ACTIVE RENEWAL CLEANSER?

APRIL & TEAM: “For best results, use daily morning and evening. After splashing cool water on your face, dispense 2-3 pumps into your hands. Apply to your face and neck. Rub in a circular motion to create a rich foaming action for 30-60 seconds. Rinse thoroughly. For a beautifully simple routine, follow with Active Treatment Essence and Active Botanical Serum.”

I AM NOT GETTING A LOT OF FOAM WHEN USING ACTIVE RENEWAL CLEANSER. IS THAT NORMAL?

APRIL & TEAM: “Not only is it normal but it is better for your skin that a cleanser does not create foamy bubbles. Proper pH balance in the skin is something that is often overlooked for the sake of a showy, foamy or bubbly cleanse. We describe our formula as gently foaming—the result of combining the nutrient-rich formulation with a small amount of water and then moving it around your face.”

IS THERE FRAGRANCE ADDED TO ACTIVE RENEWAL CLEANSER?

APRIL & TEAM: “There is no fragrance added to Active Renewal Cleanser — everything you smell is natural whole plants.”

HOW LONG UNTIL I SEE RESULTS WITH ACTIVE RENEWAL CLEANSER?

APRIL & TEAM: “Most individuals see a visible improvement in their skin within days. Because of our whole plant nutrition, results will increase over time.”

HOW LONG WILL A BOTTLE OF ACTIVE RENEWAL CLEANSER LAST?

APRIL & TEAM: “The 115ml bottle of Active Renewal Cleanser will last approximately 40 days with AM/PM application. It will last approximately 80 days if used once a day.”

WHAT IS ACTIVE RENEWAL CLEANSER’S SHELF LIFE AND STORAGE?

APRIL & TEAM: “Once opened, the shelf life is 12 months. Proper storage and care of your Active Renewal Cleanser includes keeping it away from extreme temperatures (cold or hot) and keeping it out of direct sunlight.”

IS ACTIVE RENEWAL CLEANSER TESTED ON ANIMALS?

APRIL & TEAM: “Active Renewal Cleanser is vegan and is not tested on animals.”

IS ACTIVE RENEWAL CLEANSER SAFE FOR USE DURING PREGNANCY?

APRIL & TEAM: “It is always best to consult your doctor when using any active product, but there are no ingredients that have contraindications for pregnancy.”

The Etiket Team’s Fall Favourites

Fall is here! We asked our staff to pick their favourite product for the season and to explain why it's their go-to. Let's discover them together!

The crisp and cozy fall weather has arrived, and the team at Etiket is, of course, full of product recommendations for the seasonal change. Find out what staples make up some of our staff’s beauty, skincare and fragrance daily rituals.

“For me, the Superkind Radiance Mask from Tata Harper is a must. Twice a week, I exfoliate with the Regenerating Cleanser and then follow up with this famous mask that is oh-so-soothing. Then a 20-minute break of happiness… and an instant “wow” rejuvenating effect! The chamomile and lavender help calm my skin and the lactic acid helps improve the texture of my skin, providing a light exfoliation and glow. I love it!”
– MARIE-FRANCE, Boutique & Spa Director
”Imagine 5,000 years of ritual in a bottle? Natural and without artificial fragrance, a few drops of this oil blend that includes coconut, almond, sesame and avocado allow me to eliminate any trace of dry skin from first use. Nourishing but not greasy, it’s not sticky and the quick absorption is amazing. I love it so much that if I could bathe in it, I would. IMPOSSIBLE so I console myself with the Ayurvedic bath blend and enjoy the benefits of ancestral rituals to travel the world, all in my bathtub.”
– THOMAS, Boutique & Spa Assistant Manager
“This fall my new obsession is Agent Nateur’s holi (bright) Mask. The texture is so easy to apply and remove, a small amount goes a long way. I fit it into my nighttime routine a couple of times a week and wake up in the morning looking smooth, bright and refreshed!”
– JORDANNA, Holistic Aesthetician
“I really like berry, cranberry, and old rose shades for this fall.
Twilight Lane by RMS Beauty is really comfortable and provides good hydration with its lip balm texture. Ilia Beauty’s Balmy Tint in the colour Memoir is also a really beautiful shade for fall.

– VERONICA, Makeup Artist & Beauty Specialist
“Fall is a time of extra layers, but since I still want something clean and versatile, I’ve been really enjoying Etat Libre’s newest, The Ghost in the Shell. It’s like a fresh-out-of-the-shower fragrance with a little extra coziness and warmth. It’s comforting but not too heavy, original but effortless.”
– DAVID, Director of Fragrance
SkinCeuticals’ Epidermal Repair is my go-to to use alongside retinol treatments as it really helps restore compromised skin from treatments or even aggressive winter weather. My skin feels soothed and looks radiant.
– MICHELLE, E-Commerce Manager

“I started incorporating SkinMedica’s Lytera 2.0 into my routine because as the summer progressed, I recently noticed that hyperpigmentation spots had started to appear on my cheeks. I will be combining this brightening and pigmentation correcting product with BBL treatments for optimal results.”
– KARINE, Marketing Director
“Tata Harper’s Resurfacing Body Serum is an aromatherapeutic experience with every application. Not only does it smell wonderful, but it leaves my skin feeling incredibly soft thanks to smoothing and exfoliating ingredients. Best part? It does not leave a sticky or greasy feeling and literally absorbs in seconds so I can go about my day without worry.”
– NATALIE, Marketing Assistant

I love the hydration that this creamy mask provides. It is formulated for dry, dehydrated and sensitive skin and helps combat dull, dehydrated skin. It can be used both day and night to soothe and revitalize the skin.
– STEVE, VP Operations
“I love to do the Supreme-C Treatment from Nuori for the change of seasons to give my skin a boost. It helps with my hyperpigmentation and sun damage that I may have had even when wearing a sunscreen this summer. It also helps to bring my skin back to life and gets my glow on! I like the addition of Hyaluronic Acid and Ferulic Acid which helps to complete the treatment.”
– SIMON, Founder
