The Fall Skin Reset with Dr. Brandt
There’s a moment every September—right around when the mornings get that first crisp edge—when my skin gently insists it’s time for a seasonal reset. Summer’s glow is gorgeous, yes, but the sun, sweat, SPF layers, and late-August humidity can leave things… a little chaotic. Fall, on the other hand, asks for refinement. A return to ritual. A shift toward nourishment, clarity, and that impossibly chic, lit-from-within balance that feels both effortless and intentional.
This year, I’m refreshing my entire fall routine with Dr. Brandt, a brand that blends clinical precision with that spa-grade pampering energy we all crave. And because nothing says “autumn ritual” like treating yourself, you can use my code OLIVIA20 to save on everything I’m about to spill.
Let’s talk fall skin alchemy.
Step 1: The Brightening Reset
As the seasons turn, exfoliation becomes non-negotiable—not the harsh, over-zealous kind, but the refined, micro-polished approach.
Enter Dr. Brandt Microdermabrasion, a legend for a reason. It’s like giving your skin a clean slate without ever crossing the line into irritation. Think of it as switching your summer playlist from beach-party pop to slow, sexy jazz—a recalibration that sets the tone for everything that follows.
Step 2: The Hydration Rebuild
Fall air is chic. Fall skin dehydration is not.
This is where Dr. Brandt’s Hyaluronic Facial Cream steps in. It layers like your favorite cashmere—light, cushiony, instantly comforting. Hyaluronic acid pulls in moisture, ceramides seal it in, and the texture feels like something you’d find in an ultra-exclusive European dermatology clinic that serves botanical tea and speaks in whispers.
Pro tip: press it in while your skin is slightly damp for that plump, high-altitude glow.
Step 3: The Overnight Transformation
If summer is about protection, fall is about renewal. This is the season to bring in retinol—slowly, deliberately, and paired with soothing actives.
Dr. Brandt’s retinol formulas deliver that smooth, pore-refining, tone-evening magic without the drama. The kind of overnight transformation that makes people stare a beat too long in the morning and ask, “Did you just get back from somewhere?”
Layer your retinol only on dry skin, follow with your facial cream, and let fall work its restorative witchcraft.
Step 4: The Chicest Under-Eye Fix
Shorter days, cooler nights, more sweaters… and yes, occasionally more tired-looking mornings.
Needles No More® is the eye cream that acts like a real-life smoothing filter. It softens lines, brightens shadows, and makes you look like you practice transcendental meditation at dawn (even if you definitely do not).
Step 5: The Finishing Touch—Skin That Looks Expensive
Nothing says luxury like that seamless, refined complexion that looks subtly perfected without trying.
Pores No More® Pore Refiner Primer gives that soft-focus, velvet-skin finish that feels very “I just stepped out of a minimalist Malibu sanctuary and into an editorial shoot.” Wear it alone, under makeup, or with nothing but a turtleneck and a good attitude.
Your Fall Ritual, Unlocked
If your skin has been whispering (or screaming) that it’s ready for a reset, now is the moment. And because good timing is everything, use code OLIVIA20 to save on all your Dr. Brandt autumn essentials.
