Established in 2006 by husband and wife duo, Stephen and Margaret de Heinrich, Omorovicza has become synonymous with luxury, mineral-charged skincare. After all, the brand is based in the spa capital of the world, Budapest where the pair met, while Margaret was chief of staff at the U.S. embassy. Here, they embraced the bathing culture of the city, and the effects of its infamous mineral-laden waters, and so, Omorovicza was formed and debuted with the now cult favorite, Healing Concentrate.

Fast forward, and the brand has a fully-stocked line of products, from gold-infused creams, to mud masks and body oils, as well as institutes, spas, and stores globally. With all this knowhow and intel, who better then, to share her top tips for updating your skincare routine for fall than brand matriarch, Margaret.

Treating Post-Summer Skin Concerns

To combat hyperpigmentation, uneven tone, and dullness caused by intense summer rays, look for ingredients such as Vitamin C, retinol, and acids. I prefer Mandelic and Gluconic Acids as they are gentler on the skin and ideal for daytime use. For those seeking a more potent option, choose a product with Glycolic Acid; this exfoliating acid is excellent for decongesting the skin, improving overall texture and tone, boosting collagen production, and reducing visible signs of pigmentation.

Adapting To Seasonal Skin Changes

As cooler temperatures and lower humidity set in, it’s important to switch to more nourishing products. Hydration, dullness, and increased sensitivity become key concerns during this seasonal transition, so opt for richer formulations containing hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and peptides to strengthen your skin’s barrier and enhance its resilience. You’ll notice significant improvements by using these targeted products consistently, ensuring your skin remains healthy, protected, and radiant.

Detox And Decongest

I always recommend a post-summer skin detox to clear impurities and sebum buildup from regular sunscreen use, which can clog pores over time. Look out for ingredients such as mud, clay, and Vitamin C, which are renowned for their powerful cleansing properties.

Nourish And Hydrate From Head-To-Toe

It is not just the face but body care that also needs adjustment during the autumn months. Regular exfoliation using scrubs or body brushes effectively removes dead skin cells, allowing moisturizers to absorb more deeply and work more efficiently. For added hydration, body serums work wonders by delivering concentrated active ingredients deep into the skin, providing long-lasting moisture and nourishment. Apply a rich, nourishing body cream at night to lock in moisture and support your skin’s natural repair cycle, ensuring it stays soft, supple, and healthy throughout the cooler months.

Facial Massage For Lymphatic Drainage

Another essential practice during the seasonal transition is facial massage, particularly for lymphatic drainage. This technique not only helps to reduce puffiness but also encourages the elimination of toxins, which can accumulate as your skin adjusts to the new environment. Regular facial massage boosts circulation, promoting a healthy, glowing complexion. Incorporate this into your routine by using a facial roller or simply your fingertips. Gentle, upward strokes combined with light pressure can stimulate lymphatic flow, enhancing the absorption of your skincare products and leaving your skin looking revitalized and refreshed.

Weekly Exfoliation To Maintain Clear Skin

As the weather cools, the rate at which your skin naturally exfoliates can slow down, leading to a build-up of dead skin cells that can cause dullness and congestion. To maintain clear, radiant skin throughout autumn, it’s important to exfoliate regularly. However, the type of exfoliation should be tailored to your skin’s specific needs—gentler, hydrating exfoliants can prevent irritation during this more sensitive season. Again, look for exfoliants that include enzymes or mild acids, such as Lactic or Mandelic Acid, which can effectively slough away dead skin cells without compromising your skin’s barrier. Aim for a weekly exfoliation routine to keep your complexion smooth, luminous, and ready to face the cooler weather with confidence.
