Autumn is a transitional season. After the excesses of summer sun, heat, and salt, our skin—especially our legs—requires new attention. The chilly wind, changing temperatures, and the return of tights can make it drier, more fragile, or duller.
At Cygnes , we believe that taking care of yourself also means learning to listen to your body and offering it softness and protection. Autumn is therefore the ideal time to prepare your skin to face winter, while restoring its radiance and comfort.
Why skin changes in fall
Our skin is sensitive to the seasons. During the summer, it thickens slightly to protect itself from the sun and heat. But as soon as temperatures drop, it loses some of its hydrolipidic film, the thin natural barrier that keeps it supple and hydrated.
Result: tightness, dryness, feelings of discomfort, especially on the legs, where the skin is often thinner and more exposed.
Additionally, regular wearing of tights, while protective, can exacerbate dehydration if the skin isn't properly nourished. Fall is therefore the perfect time to adopt a restorative and soothing routine .
Step 1: Deeply rehydrate
Moisturizing your skin isn't just about applying a cream: it's a comprehensive action that starts from the inside out.
Drinking enough water (or warm herbal teas) helps compensate for dehydration associated with the cold.

Favoring foods rich in essential fatty acids (avocado, flax oil, walnuts, oily fish) helps to strengthen skin suppleness.
Applying a daily nourishing treatment — ideally after showering — helps restore the skin's protective film.
For your legs, choose a rich but non-sticky texture: a body lotion made with shea, sweet almond, or jojoba oil. Massage gently to stimulate microcirculation and prepare your skin for wearing tights.
Step 2: Gently exfoliate
Exfoliating helps remove dead cells and reactivate skin renewal.
Once or twice a week, a gentle scrub is enough to restore radiance and tone to the legs.
Use a natural scrub made with sugar, almond powder, or coffee grounds. In addition to smoothing the skin, it improves the penetration of moisturizers.
- Tip: Exfoliate your legs before putting on new tights—this limits any small bumps that could weaken the mesh.
Step 3: Choose the right tights
Legs deserve as much care as your face. Wearing tights provides them with a protective layer against the cold and friction. But not all tights are created equal.
Swans tights are designed like a second skin:
made from soft and ultra-resistant fibers, certified OEKO-TEX® ,
without irritating substances,
and equipped with a natural elasticity that adapts to the shape without compressing.
Their silky texture maintains comfort all day long, even on the most sensitive skin. Wearing Cygnes tights prolongs hydration and protects the skin in style.
Step 4: Stimulate circulation
Cold weather and a sedentary lifestyle can slow blood circulation and cause heavy legs, so fall is a good time to get moving again .
Here are some simple actions to incorporate into your routine:
Walk regularly — even 15 minutes a day — to stimulate venous return.
Slightly raise your legs in the evening for a few minutes to relieve them.
Massage with a light oil , from bottom to top, using circular movements.
These simple gestures bring warmth, vitality, and softness. By pairing them with a good pair of breathable, stretchy tights, you'll give your legs the lightness they deserve.
Step 5: Protect without suffocating
In autumn, the skin on the legs is often covered, but it continues to breathe.
It is therefore important to avoid tights that are too thick, poorly ventilated or made from aggressive synthetic materials.
The 40 denier Cygnes tights, for example, offer the perfect balance: reassuring opacity, enveloping softness and optimal breathability. Their fine, durable knit limits friction while allowing the skin to breathe.
- The secret: an innovative, flexible and strong thread that hugs the body without irritating it.
Step 6: Make fall a sensory ritual
Autumn is also a season of reconnection. Taking care of your skin means giving yourself a break from your often hectic daily routine.
Take the time for gentle massages after your shower, a warm bath with essential oils, or simply a quiet moment where you apply your favorite treatment mindfully.
Add soft music, dim lighting, a cup of tea—and make this moment a calming ritual.
Your skin, like your mind, will thank you.
In the fall, the skin enters a regeneration phase. By moisturizing, massaging, and protecting it, we prolong its radiance and enhance its comfort.
Legs, often neglected, deserve this special attention. With Cygnes tights , they regain flexibility, warmth and lightness.
It's not just a question of beauty: it's a way of inhabiting one's body with gentleness and awareness.

We believe that tights should be as comfortable to wear as a piece of wellness clothing.
Wearing Cygnes means taking care of your skin while protecting the planet. Our models are made in Europe, returnable, and recyclable, to sustainably reduce the impact of textiles on the environment.
