MET+ responds to seasonal shifts with a new skincare ritual
AUTUMN SKINCARE RITUAL: RESET PLUS
Autumn brings change. It wraps us in fog. Speeds up our pace. Multiplies our responsibilities. It's as if life starts over every time.
MET+ responds to seasonal shifts with a new skincare ritual: an autumn reset.
We follow seasonal changes to adjust our care accordingly – transitions in nature, shifts in weather, the arrival of humid days, and changes in life’s rhythm: growing responsibilities and a faster pace.
Let’s begin autumn with a reset – in skincare, that means: exfoliation.
Exfoliation removes layers of built-up dead skin cells and helps the skin renew faster, revealing fresh, youthful layers underneath.
STEP 1 – EXFOLIATION: I enjoy my soft, clean, “young” skin
Let’s shed the traces of summer from our skin: excess pigment, rough patches, and dryness. Let’s reveal youthful skin and start again – just like love.
A proper reset must be thorough. That’s why we’ve chosen a triple exfoliation for this ritual: chemical, mechanical, and enzymatic. The perfect product for this is the brilliant new Royal Fern Tri Active Glow Peel.
While the peel is on your skin, you can take a shower, read, or simply enjoy a moment with your eyes closed in your comfiest chair.
Pleasure: The touch on your skin – and its refined, purified look – will be so satisfying that you’ll want to use this exfoliator more often.
(Don’t – once a week for sensitive skin, and twice for other skin types is enough!)

STEP 2: Mask + armchair + pillows + Spotify
Let’s apply a mask to fresh, clean, and dry skin – one that will hydrate, nourish, and strengthen the skin’s natural barrier.
At MET+, we’ve tried many great masks, but for this ritual, we’re going with the Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Sheet Mask – thanks to its high concentration of ceramides, the natural lipids also found in our skin, which help reinforce the barrier, nourish, and protect.
It also contains glycerin for hydration and panthenol to calm the skin.
While the mask nourishes your skin, take a break in your favorite armchair and let your playlist feed your soul.
You can also brew that delicious tea we love gifting during our consultations at Plus.
STEP 3: Massage called “Because it feels good”
Massage is gold - even if you're not an expert. With gentle pressure and circular movements - or the techniques we recommend during consultations and on our Instagram – it always feels good.
Massage the remaining essence from the mask into your skin.
It benefits your skin by boosting circulation and enhancing absorption of the active ingredients.
It benefits you too – as a gesture of self-love and care that feels deeply fulfilling.
STEP 4: I will glow, and my mirror will smile back
Radiance – without shimmer – is what we always aim to achieve through skincare.
Everything you’ve done so far contributes to that glow: exfoliation and the mask. But let’s take it one step further.
Before applying your daily moisturizer with SPF, add a vitamin C serum.
Vitamin C helps brighten the complexion and reduce the appearance of spots and fine lines.
Most people notice visible results from a vitamin C serum fairly quickly.
For this reset ritual, we chose the flawless, proven, and highly reliable
Esthederm Intensive Vitamine C² Dual Concentrate – a serum with two types of vitamin C.
Look in the mirror – and it’s smiling back at you.

STEP 5: Step into a new day with more confidence
You’ve just given yourself a top-tier treatment for an even, radiant complexion and antioxidant protection.
A kind of self-investment that boosts your sense of well-being.
Time well spent on care, attention, and self-love – and that feeling stays with you.
Step into your day with confidence.
Like all the rituals we recommend, this one has been personally tested and approved by our team at Plus.
