Autumn is a time of transition, not only for the weather and nature, but also for our skin. After the summer months, where sun exposure, heat and humidity can wreak havoc, it is essential to give our skin the attention it deserves to face the colder months. A proper facial cleansing is essential to renew the skin and prepare it for the change of season. Complement it with renewing facial care products to look your best this autumn.

The importance of facial cleansing in autumn

During the summer, skin accumulates impurities, excess sebum and residues from sun products. With the arrival of autumn, it is crucial to get rid of these accumulations to avoid problems such as acne, blackheads and dullness. A thorough facial cleansing not only removes impurities, but also prepares the skin to better absorb the moisturising and nourishing products it will need in the colder months.

From Montibello we propose to incorporate into your cleansing routine the Pure & Botanics line, specifically designed to cleanse and purify the skin, using botanical extracts that offer a gentle but effective cleansing experience.

In addition, the antioxidants in its formula protect the skin from free radical damage, which can accelerate ageing. This protective shield is essential for maintaining youthful, healthy skin during the changing seasons.

Unlike many cleansers that can leave skin feeling dry and tight, Pure & Botanics ensures skin maintains its natural moisture balance. This is especially important in autumn, when skin tends to dehydrate more easily.
