Autumn is synonymous with ITV in beauty. It is time to review the damage from the sun (checking moles is almost mandatory), consider some treatment with cosmetics or laser if skin spots have become accentuated, be attentive to the rebound of acne, monitor seasonal hair loss and stand up to a stress that is already beginning to give warning signs (abdominal bloating is one of its symptoms).
On the other hand, it is also one of the most exciting times of the year, where new perfumes, gadgets and treatments are concentrated that elevate the routine to another level. Here you have new ideas to pass some subjects of the course with flying colors.
Anyone who is not yet a fan of serums is taking a while. They have an ultra-light texture, are absorbed quickly, are highly loaded with active ingredients and, due to their technology, easily penetrate the skin. The key to its proper use is in the order (it is applied after cleansing and before the cream, it does not replace it) and in its function (anti-aging, anti-spots, antioxidant, anti-acne…) It is recommended from the age of 30.
How to choose it? Due to its action, active ingredients and skin type. Bioderma has just launched three anti-aging serums based on hyaluronic acid for acneic, dehydrated or sensitive skin. To protect the latter from the cold and maintain hydration, it proposes a formula with a double soothing and antioxidant action. “For sensitive skin, we should use anti-inflammatory products that reinforce the skin barrier and provide high antioxidant power, such as carnosine and vitamin E,” advises Dr. María Rogel, dermatologist at the Pedro Jaén Group and collaborator of the brand.
There is no bridge in sight and your eyes get tired of so much screen. Drooping eyelids, dark circles and wrinkles are the three main concerns around the eyes. All of them reveal fatigue, the passage of time and sometimes genetics, which predispose us to bags and dark circles. The skin around the eyes is especially vulnerable and between two and five times thinner than that of other parts of the body, so the use of specific products for it is more than indicated.
How do you get along with retinol? Biotherm presents an allergy-tested formula that combines its star ingredient, Life Plankton, with Pro-Retinol, a derivative that does not irritate this delicate area. “Scientific studies show that the way we perceive a person’s age and attractiveness is directly related to the appearance of their eyes, so it is never too early to start using a cream designed for the eye contour” says Johanna Caron, the brand’s scientific communication expert.
Vitamin C, caffeine and niacinamide is the triple alliance to refresh and illuminate your eyes and reduce signs of fatigue.
Vials, gummies, lotions, nutricosmetics, specific shampoos… Anti-hair loss accumulates new features. During this time, hair falls out more than necessary and it is normal, because it is part of its growth and renewal cycle, but it is advisable to help it stop it and, at the same time, treat it to increase the density of the hair. You also have to be attentive at the table, because a diet poor in iron, zinc and some vitamins accentuates it, and stress.
“In clinical practice, normal hair loss maximums have been established, which are around 80-100 hairs per day. Consistency and patience is the strategy to follow with this type of treatment. And it is worth preventing because, according to experts, hair loss affects 20% of women over the age of 30.
The keys to thickening your hair? Exfoliate and purify the scalp, revitalize it, and add volume, especially to fine and fragile hair. Aveda’s Invati line proposes a three-step system that reduces hair loss by 53% and thickens and strengthens hair in 12 weeks.

The promise: A brush that repairs up to 78% of hair damage in just one month. Steam, gentle heat, keratin-covered spikes and patented technology are its arguments. The steam softens the hair fiber and the spikes reposition its scales, helping to repair the hair from the inside. They recommend using it at night for a month and then 2 or 3 times a week.
It affects the skin, causing unexpected outbreaks of acne, dermatitis, blemishes and other imperfections, accentuates hair loss and also makes us bloated! Stress is usually linked to lack of sleep, but also to abdominal bloating, proving correct those who point out that the stomach is the body’s second brain. Yoga, sports, meditation, mindfulness, dance… Everyone deals with stress and its consequences as best they can, but we must pay attention to the news.
The Longevity Hub by Clinique la Prairie Madrid focuses on abdominal blockages, which affect the health of the entire organism, with Chi Nei Tsang, a Taoist method aimed at relieving discomfort in the internal organs. Through massage techniques applied directly to the abdomen, they help restore the flow of vital energy and balance.
For stressed skin, Foreo proposes a new generation LED light mask. With eight wavelengths – each color has a function – it treats different skin problems. The blue-violet color soothes and calms it, reducing redness and inflammation. It is made of flexible silicone, it has 600 points of light and with it on you can even do yoga. Jon Kortajerena and Blanca Suárez have already been seen with her on the networks.
Establishing a care routine and strictly following it seems simple, but how many times do you skip it? Anna Arbós @glowbyanna launches Facegloss, her own cosmetic line with five multifunction formulas with premium ingredients and high sensoriality. Her philosophy is “fewer steps, greater efficiency” and her focus is skin concern (treating specific skin problems regardless of whether it is oily, combination or dry). Foaming cleanser, two serums, a light moisturizing cream and Chill, a refreshing and calming spray toner to enjoy with the application of a product that is often forgotten (and we shouldn’t)
