As the days grow shorter and the air gets cooler, our skin feels it too. You might be familiar with it: in summer everything was in balance, but suddenly in autumn it feels drier, feels tight, or reacts more sensitively. These changes are no coincidence, but a direct result of the season. 

Vitamin D Deficiency in Autumn: What Happens to the Skin? 

The skin is our mirror of the seasons. Cold air outside, dry heating air inside, and fewer hours of sunshine take their toll. Microcirculation and barrier function are particularly challenged. With less light, the body’s own vitamin D production also drops, which affects not only the immune system but also the skin. 

The result: Our protective layer, the stratum corneum, loses stability. Moisture evaporates more quickly, the skin looks rougher, is prone to redness, and often feels tired. 

What the skin needs now 

In autumn, three factors are crucial: moisture, lipids, and vitamin D. They strengthen the skin barrier, protect against dryness, and promote natural regeneration. 

Ceramides act like small bricks in the "skin house." Without them, cracks and dryness occur; with them, the barrier remains strong and resilient. 

Lipids nourish and cushion the skin, keeping it soft and elastic. 

Vitamin D supports not only skin health but also activates important cellular functions that ensure glow and vitality. 

My Product Highlights for the Transitional Period 

REVIVING PEEL with Hydration & Vitamin D Activator 

A gentle yet highly effective peel that hydrates the skin while activating vitamin D receptor production: REVIVING PEEL. The skin immediately gains more radiance and feels fresher. The innovative photo-active ingredient from beetroot increases natural moisturizing factors (NMF) and boosts the water content in the upper skin layers for an immediate and long-term effect. 

REGENERATING NIGHT CREAM with Ceramides 

The perfect night care for the cool season: REGENERATING NIGHT CREAM. It contains Ceramide AP, which, like building blocks, stabilizes the "skin house," prevents cracks, and strengthens the barrier. Supplemented by nourishing lipids that intensively nurture the skin and prepare it for the next day. 

HAND CREAM with TECMi® Retinol 

Hands, in particular, suffer in autumn from the cold and dry air. HAND CREAM promotes cell renewal, while shea butter forms a protective lipid barrier. The Multi Oil Complex of skin-identical squalane and nourishing sesame oil soothes, hydrates, and conditions. The formula is 100 percent based on plant-derived ingredients and has an intensive, soothing effect. 

Small Rituals, Big Impact 

In addition to the right skincare, small everyday routines also help: drink plenty of fluids, ventilate rooms regularly, incorporate healthy fats into your diet, and continue to use sun protection. This not only protects the skin but strengthens it as well. 

Conclusion: Conscious Autumn Skincare 

For me, autumn is always a moment for reflection. I notice how my skin changes and how closely my own well-being is linked to it. Right now, it needs more protection, more nutrients, and more attention. 

With active ingredients like ceramides, lipids, and vitamin D, we can give our skin what it really needs during this season. This way, it not only stays resilient but also retains its radiance—even when the days outside get grayer and cooler.
