ACHIEVE RADIANT AUTUMN SKIN WITH MINIMALIST CARE
As the leaves turn to shades of yellow and orange, our excitement for the fall season often extends to our skincare routines.
The allure of glamorous beauty ads can be hard to resist, but this autumn, consider a more minimalist approach to skincare.
Skin minimalism is the key to preserving your skin’s moisture barrier and achieving a radiant glow.
Let’s dive in and discover how to ace skin minimalism this fall.
WHAT IS SKIN MINIMALISM?
Skin minimalism is a trending concept that promotes conscious consumerism.
It emphasizes high-performance skincare products that are simple yet effective, as well as environmentally friendly.
It’s about embracing your skin’s imperfections and using only what is necessary to protect and nourish it.
To start, identify your skin type and its specific needs, as this knowledge is essential for a successful minimalist skincare routine.
A MINIMALIST SKINCARE ROUTINE THIS FALL
With the autumn season comes dropping humidity levels and indoor heating systems that challenge your skin’s ability to maintain a healthy barrier.
Dryness, cracking, and irritation can result from the loss of moisture caused by dry air and hot beverages. Here is some skincare tips to keep your skin healthy this autumn without compromising its integrity:
1. HYDRATION
Dehydration can affect both oily and dry skin types, especially when the colder months tempt us to reduce our water intake.
Relying on hot lattes and hot chocolates can further dehydrate your system and worsen your skin’s condition.
Maintaining your water intake is crucial for balanced skin moisture levels and achieving an even-toned, plumped-up complexion. 3LAB
2. GENTLE CLEANSING
Transition from an oil-based cleanser to a water-based hydrating cleanser to accommodate the changing season.
A balanced cleanser can effectively remove dirt and pollutants from your skin without stripping away essential moisture.
Look for hydrating cleansers with ingredients like vitamin E and sodium hyaluronate, which protect the skin’s lipid barrier and prevent dehydration and dryness.
3. NO EXFOLIATION
During cold weather, it’s best to avoid skin exfoliation, or if necessary, limit it to a very gentle exfoliator once a month.
Consider using a product like the Perfect Balancing Toner, which gently exfoliates and contains hyaluronic acid to strengthen your skin’s natural moisture barrier.
4. THICK MOISTURIZER
Regardless of your skin type, switch to an extra-rich moisturizer to protect your skin from drying out during the colder months.
Products like the Hydrating Vita Cream, enriched with vitamins A, C, E, and vitamin C Ester, will keep your skin plump, wrinkle-free, and firm. Natural oat kernel extract provides an additional firming effect on your skin.
5. SUNSCREEN
Never skip sunscreen, even in the fall.
Protect your skin from damaging UV rays with a product like WW Day SPF 40, which is lightweight, shine-free, and provides all-day hydration 3LAB.
It’s made with apple stem cell technology to shield your skin from free radicals and prevent signs of aging.
This autumn, embrace skin minimalism and make mindful choices when selecting high-end skincare products.
With just a few essential items, you can achieve stunning results without sacrificing your precious time.
Protect, hydrate, and bid farewell to dull skin this fall by following these simple tips. Your radiant autumn skin awaits!

THE SCIENCE OF SUNSCREEN: DEMYSTIFYING SPF RATINGS
Sunscreen is the cornerstone for healthy, glowing skin. But there’s a lot of misinformation and confusion about different SPFs. This article unpacks SPFs role in your skincare routine and sheds light on some common SPF myths.
WHAT IS SPF, AND WHAT DOES IT DO?
SPF means Sun Protection Factor 3LAB.
It measures how much a product protects your skin against UVB and UVA rays.
UVB harms the topmost layers of your skin, causing sunburn.
UVA penetrates deeper and speeds up aging by creating wrinkles and pigmentation.
That’s why it’s essential you use a broad-spectrum sunscreen that blocks both UVA and UVB.
Here are some key reasons why you should wear sunscreen daily:
- Reduces the risk of sunburn
- Slows down premature aging
- Protects from skin cancer
- Lowers hyperpigmentation
UNDERSTANDING DIFFERENT SPFS
The higher SPF, the longer it protects the skin from burning.
An SPF 50 shields your skin from the sun 50 times longer than if you weren’t wearing any.
That equals 500 minutes of sunscreen protection. However, that’s only accurate in perfect conditions and doesn’t consider oils, pollution, sweat, and activities.
Higher SPFs also provide more coverage. For example, SPF 50 blocks around 98% of sun rays, but there’s only a marginal difference if you go higher than SPF 50.
COMMON SPF MYTHS
Now, let’s get into some myths surrounding SPF so you can get the most out of your sunscreen.
1. SPF MAKEUP MEANS YOU DON’T NEED TO WEAR SUNSCREEN
Many makeup and skincare products, such as moisturizers and foundations, contain SPF.
While that’s great, the products rarely have enough SPF to provide full coverage.
You must add sunscreen as a base layer before you apply your makeup.
Be generous! Smooth on at least one teaspoon of sunscreen to your face (don’t forget your lips) and another dollop to protect your neck from developing fine lines 3LAB.
You should also learn to reapply sunscreen over makeup for maximum daily protection.
2. THE HIGHER THE SPF, THE LESS FREQUENTLY YOU NEED TO TOP UP
Untrue. Even though a higher SPF provides more coverage and longer-lasting protection, that doesn’t mean you should neglect reapplication.
That’s because SPF ratings only refer to UVB rays.
Whether you are wearing SPF 30 or SPF 50, you must reapply your sunscreen every 2 hours.
People wearing a high SPF also tend to neglect sunscreen top-ups because it creates a false sense of security.
This can increase the risk of sun damage, so make sure you always protect your skin accordingly.
3. SUNSCREEN CAUSES BREAKOUTS
You may believe sunscreen causes breakouts and therefore skip the essential step in your skincare routine. However, this is a common misconception, and it’s actually the sun that triggers acne.
UVA and UVB rays aggravate the skin causing inflammation.
The exposure also dries out the skin barrier, creating blemishes. However, selecting the right product is also important.
Cheaper sunscreens may contain harsh ingredients that clog pores.
Ensure you use high-quality sunscreen that protects your skin and gives extra hydration to prevent breakouts.
3LAB carefully formulates sunscreens to provide maximum protection while keeping your skin silky smooth.
Here are some enriching ingredients we’ve included in 3LAB’s Perfect Sunscreen SPF 50+ Broad Spectrum:
- Green Tea Extract – Contains anti-oxidants to protect the skin and lipid barrier from skin damage, reducing moisture loss.
It’s also a soothing anti-inflammatory, so you can liberally apply Perfect Sunscreen without a breakout.
- Portulaca Extract – A beautiful ingredient for sensitive skin, portulaca extract protects skin cells against UV damage and is rich in fatty acids and vitamins for ultimate hydration.
4. MINERAL SUNSCREENS ARE GOOD, AND CHEMICAL SUNSCREENS ARE BAD
There are two types of sunscreen: mineral, and chemical. They protect your skin using different ingredients.
Neither is better; it’s simply a personal preference and compatibility with your skin type.
Chemical sunscreen
Chemical sunscreen absorbs UVB and UVA, creating a protective shield against your skin and the sun.
It typically uses ingredients such as avobenzone and homosalate.
Our Sunscreen SPF 50+ chemical sunscreen provides sheer coverage and powerfully hydrates to enhance your natural glow.
Mineral sunscreen
Mineral sunscreen reflects the sun’s harmful rays, usually with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
Our Lite Sunscreen SPF 30 is a mineral sunscreen option that protects you using a lightweight formula, perfect for sensitive skin.
5. YOU DON’T NEED SUNSCREEN WHEN IT’S CLOUDY
Incorrect. You must wear SPF all year round, even when it’s cloudy.
The sun still penetrates cloud cover (otherwise, it would be pitch black!) and passes through glass.
Whether walking to work during an overcast day or working near a window, always apply SPF for a healthy complexion.
EMBRACE SPF WITH 3LAB’S SUNSCREENS
Understanding SPF myths to protect your luminous skin is essential.
3LAB’s Perfect Sunscreen line is specially curated with your skincare needs in mind.
That’s why we provide high-quality sun protection infused with nurturing ingredients for a healthy glow.
„M“ SERUM
This powerful serum is formulated with a blend of natural ingredients that work together to promote a healthy and more youthful appearance.
The active ingredients in „M“ Serum include:
Bio-Engineered Renewal Complex is an in-lab developed growth hormone which is formulated to promote the appearance of healthy and rejuvenated skin.
Apple Stem Cell Technology is a plant based stem cell ingredient derived from a rare Swiss apple which proven to slow down the signs of aging.
Happybelle is a phyto-endorphin complex based on monk’s pepper that provides intensive hydration, leaving the skin looking smooth and luscious.
„M“ Serum is also non-comedogenic, which means it won’t clog your pores.
This makes it a great choice for all skin types, even those with sensitive skin.
ARE YOU APPLYING YOUR SKINCARE PRODUCTS IN THE RIGHT ORDER?
When it comes to building a proper skincare routine, investing in the right products for your skin is only half of the equation.
To experience the best results possible, you’ll need to apply your products in the right order.
Want to learn how? Keep reading for our streamlined guide on the correct skin care routine order you should be following.
START LIGHT
After cleansing and toning, start your skin routine order with the lightest and thinnest product you should have in your arsenal—serums.
Depending on your skin’s needs, you may want to layer 2-3 serums that combat specific skin issues, like our Perfect “C” Treatment Serum, which contains two different types of Vitamin C to brighten the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
FOCUS ON THE EYES
After allowing your serum to absorb, make sure to give your eyes a little TLC with a hydrating eye cream. Our tip for a smooth application?
Gently tap a pea-sized amount of product around the under-eye area and up the orbital bone with your ring finger until dry.
SEAL IT IN
The key to waking up with silky, hydrated skin? Layering a moisturizer on after serums and eye cream!
Depending on your skin type, you may need a thinner or thicker moisturizer. For normal to dry skin we recommend our best-selling “M” Cream.
After locking in your favorite moisturizer, rejoice—your nighttime skincare routine is over!
But if you’re just starting your day…
ADD A LAYER OF PROTECTION
No morning skincare routine is complete without SPF.
Use this as the last step in your morning routine to ensure all your other products absorb properly.
Additionally, make sure you’re using an SPF with a factor of at least 50 to protect from exposure to damaging UV rays.

3 WAYS TO TREAT HORIZONTAL NECK LINES
If you’ve always religiously applied sunscreen to your face but have frequently neglected your neck, you might start to notice horizontal neck lines years before you ever develop signs of aging on your face.
That’s why many dermatologists say that you can tell someone’s age by looking at their neck! Luckily, there are some ways that you can fade neck crease lines without turning to injectables. Keep reading to learn how to treat horizontal neck lines.
LINES ON MY NECK: 3 METHODS TO FILL IN NECK LINES
1. DOUBLE UP THE PROTECTION
The skin on your neck is just as thin and fragile as the skin on your face.
Thus, you want to make sure that you’re using the same anti-aging products on both your face and your neck.
Two main factors cause premature signs of aging like uneven pigmentation and wrinkles (including horizontal neck lines): UV rays from the sun and free radicals from stress, air pollution, and other factors.
So the best way to treat and prevent neck crease lines is to apply products that protect against both of these common causes of premature aging.
In the morning, that means using products that protect against free radicals as well as UV rays.
One option is to layer a vitamin C serum beneath your sunscreen.
According to some studies, vitamin C can reverse some of the damage caused by UV rays (which is the biggest culprit for most wrinkles).
Another option is to use a product that combines UV protection with skin-smoothing antioxidants like WW Day SPF 40.
2. USE A TARGETED TREATMENT
If you’re serious about treating horizontal neck lines, you’ll want to use a targeted solution like our Perfect Neck Cream.
This neck cream is formulated with 3LAB’s signature Bio-Engineered Renewal Complex, which helps to combat signs of aging as well as minimize the appearance of loose skin on the neck and jawline.
For best results, pair with a sunscreen like Perfect Sunscreen SPF 50+ Broad Spectrum.
3. LOOK UP!
3 WAY TO TREAT DRY SKIN IN SUMMER
We usually associate summer with oily skin, but some people actually have dry skin in the summer!
Are you one of those people? Keep reading to learn what causes dry skin in summer, and how to fix it.
CAUSES OF DRY SKIN IN SUMMER
Whether you develop dry skin in the summer depends somewhat on your skin type.
If you already have dry skin, you’re much more likely to develop extra dry skin in the summer.
Why? Well, we tend to spend more time outside during the warmer months, and all that exposure to sun, chlorine, and high temperatures can leave your skin more dry than usual.
Plus, hot summer days can leave us dehydrated, which can also cause skin to look and feel dry.
HOW TO TREAT VERY DRY SKIN IN SUMMER
Luckily it’s pretty easy to moisturize dry skin in summer.
Keep reading for our favorite hot weather skin care tips!
1. USE A MULTI-TASKING MOISTURIZER
Using a moisturizer formulated with SPF 3LAB is a two-pronged approach to fighting dry skin in summer.
Our WW Day SPF 40 protects against aging UV rays while moisturizing skin with intense, all day hydration.
Plus, its velvety smooth texture is the perfect base for makeup application.
2. HOW TO TREAT VERY DRY SKIN IN SUMMER
If your foundation isn’t offering your skin any hydration, consider switching to a BB cream instead.
So, what is BB cream? BB cream is a foundation, moisturizer, and sunscreen all in one convenient package!
While you apply it like a foundation, it works like a moisturizer to hydrate skin all day long.
Try our Perfect BB SPF 40 formulation to experience sheer coverage with silky smooth hydration.
3. MOISTURIZE AT NIGHT
Replenish moisture lost throughout the day with a heavy-duty hydrator at night.
Our pick for dry summer skin? Perfect Cream, which powerfully hydrates the skin while providing other beautifying benefits like lifting, toning, and firming.
Just apply to skin after cleansing and toning.
For an extra boost of moisture, you can also use this product 3LAB as part of your AM beauty routine.
Just make sure to apply sunscreen afterwards.
PERFECT NECK CREAM
Fight the signs of aging in this often overlooked area with our lightweight yet high-tech neck treatment that’s packed with anti-aging ingredients to visibly lift and contour the skin, while providing essential hydration.
„M“ CREAM (6ML)
Our global best-selling moisturizer, the “M” Cream is one of the first products to contain stem cells from a rare Swiss apple.
This gel cream hydrates, lifts, and firms the skin with the combination of Apple Stem Cell Technology and Bio-Engineered Renewal Complex.
This multi-functioning cream works to increase resiliency while also giving the skin a natural, radiant glow.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU REAPPLY SUNSCREEN?
Many people agree on how important applying sunscreen is in protecting skin from the sun.
Sunscreen also prevents signs of premature aging and dryness of the skin.
However, since everyone’s skin type is different, it is not always easy to decide which kind of SPF to apply and how often to reapply the sunscreen so that it’s truly effective.
Whether you’re tanning by the pool, running on the beach, or sitting inside your house near a window, ultraviolet (UV) rays are present.
To be mindful of your skin, you should know when to apply and reapply your sunscreen.
If sunscreen is part of your sun protection strategy, listen up!
You’re going to want to read this.
CONCERNS ABOUT SUN DAMAGE
The most common concerns about skin damage include premature aging (such as fine lines and wrinkles), sunburn, and skin cancer.
While being outside in the sun does have health benefits, such as a healthy dose of Vitamin D, excessive sun exposure can be harmful.
A proper skincare 3LAB routine, including reapplying sunscreen, can help mitigate the negative effects of the sun on the skin.
BENEFITS OF SUNSCREEN
Sunscreen acts as a shield against the sun’s UV rays.
Depending on the product’s SPF, you can have more or less UV ray protection.
SPF stands for sun protection factor.
The SPF measures the level of defense the product has against UV rays, aka the harsh rays of the sun that can cause skin damage.
Our Perfect Sunscreen SPF 50+ Broad Spectrum is a wonderful option to make sure you are covered.
SPF 50 can block up to 98% of UV rays, making it an effective sun protection tool.
A misconception is that the higher the SPF, the less frequently you need to reapply your sunscreen.
When in doubt, the rule of thumb is that you should reapply your sunscreen roughly every two hours.
Of course, this also depends on your activity and the sun exposure you are receiving.
CHEMICAL VS. PHYSICAL (MINERAL) SUNSCREEN
There are two main types of sunscreen, and knowing which one you are using can help you determine if there is a waiting period between application and sun exposure.
The two types of sunscreens are chemical and physical (aka mineral).
If you are using a chemical sunscreen, apply your sunscreen about 15 to 20 minutes before heading outside so that it has time to soak into your skin and provide optimal protection.
If you are using mineral sunscreen, you don’t need to wait because the product sits on top of your skin.
KNOWING HOW OFTEN TO APPLY SUNSCREEN
How often you apply sunscreen depends on where you are and what you are doing for the day:
IF YOU’RE OUTSIDE
As mentioned before, the general rule for reapplying sunscreen when directly in the sun is about every two hours.
Maybe you’re lounging by the pool or sitting outside at the park (or any activities that typically don’t involve being too active).
In that case, this timeframe should be the best for you to still get sun protection benefits.
The Perfect Sunscreen SPF 50+ Broad Spectrum is a great option for outdoor activities because it provides protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
IF YOU’RE BEING ACTIVE 3LAB
If you’re planning on being active outside, like swimming in the pool or sweating after a run, then your sunscreen will last for a shorter period of time.
You may need to reapply your sunscreen more frequently so that the product is performing optimally and giving you all the protection that you need.
Sunscreen will typically last only 40 to 80 minutes with sweat or water exposure, so plan to reapply accordingly!
IF YOU’RE STAYING INDOORS
UV rays can penetrate glass. So even if you are inside near a window, there is a potential that some UV damage to your skin can occur.
If you are looking to reapply your sunscreen, you can do so less frequently than if you were outside.
Reapplying sunscreen roughly every four to six hours will suffice.
And if you are not near windows altogether, you probably will not need sunscreen.
SKIN TONE
Some skin tones are more prone to sunburn or sun sensitivities than others.
While everyone should be mindful of the possible damages of excessive sun exposure, people with fair skin should try to be particularly diligent about reapplying their sunscreen.
WHEN TO CALL IT QUITS IN THE SUN
You know your skin better than anyone.
If you feel like your skin is sensitive to prolonged sun exposure, take a break to sit in the shade or go inside.
Stay mindful of your time in the sun and its effects on your skin.
