When the leaves fall and the air gets crisp, your skin feels it too. Going from humid autumn days to indoor heating and chilly winds? Recipe for dryness, irritation, and unexpected breakouts. But don’t stress — we’ve built a 7-day detox routine that will reset your skin barrier and prep it for the long winter ahead.
Why Detox Before Winter?
Think of it like swapping your wardrobe. Just as you stash away shorts for chunky knits, your skin deserves a seasonal switch. The autumn-to-winter transition is prime time for:
-
Dry patches (thanks, heaters)
-
Puffiness (holiday stress + salty meals)
-
Breakouts (sweat, layers, and heavy makeup)
-
Barrier damage (wind chill + harsh cleansing)
The good news? A simple week-long reset will set you up for glow that lasts through Thanksgiving, Christmas, and beyond.
Day-by-Day Reset Routine
Day 1: Deep Clean Start
Kick things off with the BLAQ Urban Detox Cleanser. Think of it as pressing the reset button — it removes grime, pollution, and leftover SPF without stripping your skin.
Day 2: Gentle Exfoliation
Use the Cleanse & Exfoliate Wipes in the evening. They slough away dull skin, leaving you brighter and smoother. Bonus: slip them in your bag for on-the-go post-gym touch-ups.
Day 3: Mask + Chill
Apply the Kelp Me Out Stick Mask. Packed with sea minerals, it detoxes pores while calming redness (aka perfect for central heating dryness). Pro tip: keep it in the fridge for a cooling hit.
Day 4: Hydrate & Replenish
Swap out heavy moisturizers for hydration layering. Pair your serum with Snow Circles Eye Masks to plump tired under-eyes.
Day 5: Barrier Boost
Stick to lightweight layers, avoid harsh actives, and let your skin rebalance. Use Hyaluronic Acid Eye Masks for deep hydration.
Day 6: Double Detox
Repeat Urban Detox Cleanser in the AM and PM to purge winter buildup. Pair with Kakadu Plumpers Eye Masks for a vitamin C boost.
Day 7: Lock It In
Seal your reset with a night of self-care. Mask up, sip tea, binge your favorite show, and let your skin soak it all in.
