Fall is Officially Here! Your Fall Skin and Hair Guide

October 10, 2024

It feels like we blinked and woke up in October and honestly, we feel kinda excited about it!

Even the most hardcore summer beach bums have to admit that cozy season is one to embrace and who doesn’t love a pumpkin spice latte!

There’s something truly magical about this time of year when there’s a distinct chill in the air and crunchy sunset-hued leaves underfoot.

As the season shifts into one that is slower, more focused on prioritizing self-care, your skin and hair care needs may shift too.

As the temperatures plummet and the humidity dissipates, these are our top tips to ensure your hair and skin get everything they need to flourish all season long!

Deeper hydration is key

Yeah, we complain about those hot/humid days and the sweat and frizzy hair they contribute to, but we quickly realize how much we took it for granted when it leaves us completely!

Dry air and indoor heating means your skin and strands may be feeling a little thirsty and no one wants to deal with dull skin and lifeless locks!

A spritz of our Rose Water followed up with any of our luxurious oils will add an instant glow and gorgeous dewiness for skin that looks like it belongs in the tropics!

If you really want to treat yourself then we recommend our decadent Rose Oil Serum for ultimate deep hydration!

We also can’t not mention our new Jamaican Black Castor oil, that will leave your skin and your hair so drenched in dewy hydration you’ll have everyone clamoring for your beauty secrets!

Dry scalp and itching can also be a frustration at this time of year, so try massaging some of our rosemary oil into your scalp as a treatment before shampooing and conditioning as usual.

Gentle exfoliation

Sure, the theme of this dry season is moisture, and the more the better, but in order to soak up all that gorgeous hydration you want to be sure your pores are open and ready to receive!

You definitely don’t want to be harsh though, as your skin may be a little more vulnerable during Fall and Winter, especially if your skin is more on the sensitive side.

Adding a little raw sugar to our Facial Cleanser will instantly turn it into a gentle yet effective exfoliating scrub, helping to shed dead skin so your skin is ready to drink up any moisture you apply after!

We should also mention that this cleanser is both gentle and deeply hydrating and Aloe is referred to as “the miracle plant” due to how nutrient dense it is, yes please!

If your skin is not really sensitive at all then you could skip the step entirely and just use our charcoal cleanser.

We have actually had sensitive-skinned beauties let us know that their skin is totally accepting of this so you may want to give it a try even if you are a little more sensitive!

SPF is still priority

SPF is an all year thing, not just a spring and summer thing, trust us!

Your skin is still at risk of UV damage even when the sun’s rays feel weak so it is very important to ensure you are slathering on yours every day as the last step in your skin routine and before makeup.

We recommend opting for a mineral-based sunscreen rather than a chemical-based one, as it’s better for your health and the environment.

If you were missing Summer at all, then we hope this helped inspire you in some small way for the new season.

Wishing a Happy and Healthy Fall to you and yours.
