And on top, apply a moisturizing or soothing cream, for example, with aloe, so that the skin is additionally hydrated.

The onset of autumn does not cancel sun protection, because the sun is active all year round. The appearance of pigmentation is also possible in the autumn, so products with SPF are still necessary, although a lower index is acceptable – SPF 15 or 30. Let autumn be comfortable for your skin.
