Episode 31: Moisturizer + Treatments: Fall Switch-Up for Melanin Skin

This week on Skintelligent Sundays, I’m diving into how to adjust your moisturizer and treatments for fall — because melanin-rich skin needs a different kind of love when the seasons change. 🍂   Last week we talked all about a full fall refresh routine with esthetician Tiana Smith. Tonight, I’m breaking down: ✨ Why cooler temps = drier skin and dullness ✨ How to upgrade your moisturizer for hydration + glow ✨ The safe way to exfoliate melanin-rich skin in fall ✨ Why you should keep Vitamin C + Retinol in rotation ✨ My top product recommendations   Remember, fall skincare isn’t about doing more — it’s about making smarter switches that protect your glow.   🛍️ Products Mentioned • Moisturizers: Cerave Moisturizer lotion https://amzn.to/3UT2WQY SheaMoisture Daily Hydration Lotion, or a DIY shea butter + jojoba blend. https://amzn.to/462KQkN • Exfoliants: The Ordinary Mandelic Acid 10%, https://amzn.to/4lQm4Kc Paula’s Choice 2% BHA (for acne-prone skin). https://amzn.to/47U1ANr • Vitamin C: La Roche-Posay Pure 12% Vitamin C Serum https://amzn.to/4lU8TIr • Retinol: Differin Gel or a derm-prescribed option. https://amzn.to/45SeQ2A • SPF: Black Girl Sunscreen SPF 30 or Bolden SPF 30. https://amzn.to/4lSGgeG 📖 Want more?
