Autumn Skincare: What to Use and Why
Autumn Skin, Sorted: A Smart Seasonal Switch with Luna Microcare
As the air turns crisp and radiators click back on, skin can feel tighter, duller and more reactive. The good news? You don’t need a whole new routine — just a few intelligent tweaks. Here’s how to transition from late-summer glow to autumn radiance, using Luna Microcare’s targeted, clinic-level essentials.
Why does skin misbehave in autumn?
Lower humidity, colder winds and indoor heating all accelerate transepidermal water loss (that’s moisture escaping from the skin’s surface). The result: dryness, flakiness, fine lines looking a bit more visible and under-eyes that tire easily. Your mission is simple — hydrate, fortify the skin barrier, and deliver actives precisely where they’re needed.
The Autumn Edit: What to tweak (and what to keep)
Keep: gentle cleansing, daily SPF, consistency.
Tweak: add hydration layers, embrace barrier support, and upgrade to targeted overnight treatments.
Your easy autumn routine (AM/PM)
Morning
- Cleanse — A mild, non-stripping cleanse.
- Target & Brighten — Luminance Brighten & Firm Eye Serum: helps reduce puffiness and the look of dark circles while softening the appearance of fine lines.
- Hydrate & Strengthen — Face hydrating serum or essence of choice.
- Moisturise — Choose a cream with barrier-loving ingredients.
- SPF — Yes, even when it’s grey.
Optional pick-me-up: On rushed mornings (or after a late night), use Hydrogel Eye Mask for 10–20 minutes to instantly cool, de-puff and boost radiance before make-up.
Evening
- Cleanse — Gentle but thorough.
- Treat — Alternate targeted patches overnight 1–2× per week:
Eternal Microneedle Overnight Eye Wrinkle Patches (under-eyes): for puffiness, lines and a brighter look by morning.
Revive Microneedle Overnight Smile Line & Forehead Patches (expression areas): soften the look of forehead lines, crow’s feet and nasolabial folds.
- Hydrate & Seal — A soothing serum, then a cushioned moisturiser.
Weekly skin drink: Add 2-Step Hydrating Sheet Mask for a deeper moisture surge and calm, even tone — ideal after weather-exposed days.
Why patches excel in colder months
Creams are brilliant for comfort, but micro-cone patch technology goes further by creating micro-channels that deliver actives beyond the surface while you sleep — no lasers, no needles, no downtime. It’s highly targeted, consistent and perfect for areas that give the game away first (under-eyes, forehead, smile lines).

How to layer (so everything actually works)
Under-eye routine (evening with Eternal):
- Cleanse and pat dry completely.
- Skip rich creams directly under the patch area.
- Apply Eternal patches to clean, dry skin; press firmly for a snug seal.
- Leave on overnight; remove in the morning and follow with Luminance Eye Serum.
Forehead & smile lines (evening with Revive):
- Cleanse → dry.
- Apply Revive to target lines (forehead, crow’s feet, nasolabial folds).
- Seal with a light moisturiser around (not over) the patch if needed.
- Remove in the morning; continue with your usual routine.
Hydrogel Eye Mask (any time):
- Cleanse → apply masks gel-side down for 10–20 minutes.
- Remove and tap in residual serum.
- Follow with Luminance Eye Serum and moisturiser/SPF.
2-Step Hydrating Sheet Mask (weekly):
- Apply the 3D microfiber mask for deep hydration and calming.
- Follow with the HA-rich serum to seal moisture and boost elasticity.
Pro tips for consistent glow
- Humidify your home: central heating is thirsty.
- Warm, not hot, showers: protect your barrier.
- Night-time routine = repair time: prioritise actives then seal with moisture.
- Little and often: targeted patches 1–2× a week beat once-in-a-blue-moon marathons.
Autumn FAQ
Do I need to change everything?
No. Keep the structure and add hydration plus targeted treatments like Eternal and Revive.
Can oily or combination skin use patches and masks?
Yes — they deliver actives precisely where needed without heavy occlusion. Hydrogel masks and Luminance Eye Serum are suitable for all skin types.
How soon will I see a difference?
Many people notice a fresher look after one use (especially Hydrogel Eye Mask). With Eternal and Revive, expect visible improvements over 2 weeks of consistent use.
Is SPF still necessary in autumn?
