AM & PM Fall Skin Routine — Sephora Sale Edition
Ok ok, I know the Sephora Savings Event is already filling your feed — so I promise this isn’t another overwhelming list of 50 “must-haves.”
Instead, I wanted to share something practical: an AM + PM routine for fall, tailored by skin type, with my favorite Sephora picks.
Let’s break it down!
FOR DRY SKIN
AM Routine:
Skinfix Barrier+ Foaming Cleanser
This is a super creamy, non-stripping cleanser that supports your skin barrier while gently removing buildup. I love this one year-round, but especially as the air gets drier.
Dr. Idriss Major Fade Active Seal Dark Spot Vitamin C and Peptide Gel Moisturizer
I love a creamier vitamin c for dry skin come colder months and this one is one my favs!
Skinfix Triple Lipid Peptide Moisturizer
Skinthusiast Select for a reason! This is my top pick when your skin needs rich, replenishing hydration — packed with ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol to lock in moisture.
ISDIN Tinted SPF
This one is pretty much always in my skincare arsenal. It protects against UV damage, while repairing damage that’s already been made.
PM Routine:
Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
It’s luxurious, nourishing, and leaves the skin feeling soft (not tight).
Skinfix Barrier+ Foaming Cleanser
Follow with the same gentle foaming cleanser to fully clear your skin.
Shani Darden Retinoid
This formula gives you all the benefits of a retinoid — smoother texture, fewer breakouts, and improved tone — without major irritation. Use 2–4 nights per week to start. You can also apply your moisturizer first as a buffer!
Skinfix Moisturizer
Seal everything in!
FOR OILY SKIN:
AM Routine
Skinfix Ectoin Cleanser
This gentle gel cleanser helps balance oil while strengthening your barrier. I love it for dry skin in warmer months and oily skin in colder months.
Dr. Dennis Gross Vitamin C
This Vitamin C is brightening, smoothing, and gentle enough for everyday use.
Alpyn Beauty Moisturizer
Lightweight but still deeply hydrating — the perfect fall moisturizer for oily skin types.
Tower 28 Tinted SPF
This SPF is a dream. It’s mineral-based, breathable, and gives just enough tint to even everything out.
PM Routine
Sephora Collection Micellar Cleansing Water with Postbiotics + Niacinamide
A simple, effective first cleanse that removes dirt and makeup.
Skinfix Ectoin Cleanser
A second cleanse that supports the barrier and calms inflammation — gentle enough for nightly use.
Dr. Dennis Gross Advanced Retinol + Ferulic Overnight Wrinkle Treatment
A retinol-meets-ferulic acid formula that helps refine pores, smooth fine lines, and support cell turnover without heavy irritation. It’s one of the few strong actives that most oily skin types tolerate beautifully.
Alpyn Beauty Moisturizer
Lock everything in!
I hope this helps you in your Fall skin routine!
