Keelyn's Top 10 Fall Skincare Products

Keelyn Young is a Korean drama addict, Instagrammer, and blogger who was inspired by the perfect, blemish-free skin of drama actors and actresses to start whipping her own combination skin into shape. She's experimented with plenty of products and gives out great advice on her social media accounts on new routines that her readers can use.

After seeing her enthusiasm for skincare—whether it be Western or Eastern in origin—we decided to ask her about some of her favorite picks for this fall season! She says, "Here are my top 10 most trustworthy products to battle fall weather. I keep these in my routine during the harsh months to help protect my skin barrier, retain moisture, and above all, leave me glowing all year round."

    Whalmyung
    Skin Elixir

    Keelyn Young

    Made with the finest hanbang (korea herbal remedies) that can be found, Whal Myung's Skin Elixir is designed to provide skin with hydrating antioxidants that can reduce inflammatory breakouts. It can be incorporated in both morning and evening routines and give you a glow that lasts all day. 

    The elixir comes in two "phases," or layers: oil and water, which are naturally separated from each other within the bottle. You have to shake the bottle before use, but I personally love the argan oil in the product. It's super easy to use since you just need to spray it to apply for it to penetrate deeply into the skin.

    KICHO
    Sheep Oil Cream

    Keelyn Young

    Korea is known for its unusual skincare ingredients. Contrary to the name, this sheep oil cream is derived from lanolin oil that is produced by shearing off sheep's wool and refining it in a laboratory. The lanolin soothes the skin and helps skin retain moisture.

    Along with lanolin skin lubricants, the cream also carries antiwrinkle and brightening abilities through its other two main ingredients: vitamin C and anthocyanin from berries. It's great to use as a transitioning cream between seasons.

    SIORIS
    Cleanse Me Softly Milk Cleanser

    Keelyn Young

    This Cleanse Me Softly Milk Cleanser is from Sioris, an indie brand based in Korea. It's made with ingredients such as organic green plum water, macadamia seed oil, and broccoli extract to keep skin hydrated, nourished, and soothed. 

    It's great for a low pH morning or for night cleansing, whether you're using it to remove impurities, makeup, or both. Sioris is also very serious about their skincare products. To optimize the effectiveness of their ingredients, they harvest them in-season! This cleanser is definitely worthwhile to use and is worth every penny.

    Huxley
    Secret of Sahara Oil; Light and More

    Keelyn Young

    I love really light facial oils like Huxley's because it's a perfect blend of components that works well for dry or dull skin. It's superb at moisturizing, softening, and revitalizing the skin with ingredients such as jojoba oil, vegetable squalane, and sunflower seed oil. 

    Like most of Huxley's other products, this oil incorporates prickly pear seed oil, which helps skin retain moisture while also brightening its tone. This oil is absolutely perfect for fall and winter weather, so laying it on thick is perfectly acceptable.

    Dr. Jart
    Ceramidin Cream

    Keelyn Young

    There are some creams that just get your skin. This is definitely one of them. First, like all Dr. Jart products, this is dermatologist tested. It's also super lightweight, doesn't feel greasy when applied, and sinks into the skin quickly.

    Dr. Jart's Ceramidin Cream doesn't just moisturize—it's also formulated to protect and treat your skin in even the toughest of climates. It also reduces water loss throughout the day while circulating time-release moisture around the clock.

    Sunday Riley
    Juno Essential Face Oil

    Keelyn Young

    Facial oils are really an essential part of any skincare routine during the fall and winter. Sunday Riley is an American brand dedicated to bringing cruelty-free and sustainable skincare products to your home, and their facial oil is one of the best.

    Their Juno Essential Face Oil is a beautifully crafted serum that brightens and targets hyperpigmentation through a blend of cold-pressed superfood oils and antioxidants. Some highlight ingredients include black cumin seed oil, blueberry seed oil, and wild carrot seed oil, which serve to fight the effects of aging and improve complexion.

    Personally, using Juno always helps me to restore my bright, healthy appearance for the next day.

    DHC
    Deep Cleansing Oil

    Keelyn Young

    Japanese products are very popular for their amazing, deep cleansing abilities. DHC, in particular, is quite famous. In fact, I tend to keep this Deep Cleansing Oil in my back pocket because it always performs well during the fall and winter seasons when double cleansing can be the harshest on skin!

    When choosing a cleansing oil, you need to find an oil-based one that is deeply penetrating, but non-stripping so that it can remove daily stressors and impurities while still maintaining the skin's moisture barrier. DHC Deep Cleansing Oil is one such oil, and it's especially known for its antioxidant-rich olive oil and the way it emulsifies.

    SEKKISEI
    Enriched Lotion

    Keelyn Young

    Another brand highly respected brand from Japan is SEKKISEI. The company is amazing at crafting beautifully simple skincare routines with multiple products created with all the same ingredients. 

    This lotion is formulated with oleic acid and plant-based ingredients, such as rose myrtle extract, that permeate the skin deeply and help to moisturize and soften the skin. It doesn't feel sticky when applied and can be used for the neck, face, and body. Keeping this chilled in the fridge for nightly use is the best.

    Caudalie
    Beauty Elixir Face Mist

    Keelyn Young

    Caudalie's elixir is an absolute must-have item for every skincare lover in autumn! Known as the "elixir of youth," this refreshing spray takes away all dullness and rejuvenates the skin with just a few spritzes. 

    It has amazing ingredients like peppermint, rose, and rosemary oil, and green grapes that help to tone the skin and provide a cooling, tingling effect when sprayed. You can also use it in many ways—to set makeup, refresh makeup, as an essence in a routine, or even as a primer. It's really a great all-around elixir for the season.

It's also free of parabens, fragrance, and alcohol, making it suitable for sensitive folks, as well as people with dry, dehydrated skin.
