The air is crisp, the leaves are turning, and fall is officially here, which is my very favorite season. Maybe it’s because Wynn (one of my collies) and I are both September babies, but there’s something about this time of year that feels like renewal, even though the leaves are falling.

After months of heat, humidity, sunscreen, and sweat, our skin is ready for a reset. Here’s how to prepare your skin for the season ahead.

Time for a Refresh

Once sun-soaked days are behind us, it’s the perfect moment to schedule a professional peel. I recommend the V.I. Peel—a medium-depth peel that addresses the hyperpigmentation and melasma that sneak up on us over the summer (even with diligent sunscreen use).

Think of this peel as sweeping away summer to make room for fall radiance. It’s also the ideal prep step before starting, or re-committing to, your Sherak routine; because it allows our Pentapeptide Matrix™ formulas to penetrate more deeply and work their skin renewal magic.

Hydrate Inside + Out

Cooler air means drier skin. Even if you don’t feel as thirsty, keep drinking water. Hydration plumps skin from within, flushes out dulling toxins, and keeps your radiance alive.

Pair that with our peptide-powered Barrier Shield Moisturizer to lock in hydration and fortify your skin barrier as temperatures drop. This dual approach, internal hydration plus barrier support, is key for keeping skin supple, strong, and radiant all season long.

SPF Isn’t Seasonal

Just because you’re not stretched out on the beach doesn’t mean UV damage takes a break. Sunscreen is still your best daily defense. In fact, UV exposure is the #1 driver of premature aging and it’s present year-round, even on cloudy or cool days.

Protect your skin every day, no exceptions.

The Fall Skincare Reset

Exfoliate + Renew with Peptides + Protect with SPF + Hydrate deeply =
Skin that’s ready to shine through the cooler months.

This season is about embracing change with strength and intention, just like your skin.
