Happy Fall! I don't know where 2024 has gone; I can't believe this week is officially the start of a new season - and my favorite season :)
Summer, for most means a lot of travel and time spent outside, and this is the best time of year to recoup, reflect, and get back into our routines!
Although summer might be over and the UV index isn't quite as high, SPF is still an important part of your morning routine! Damaging sun exposure can happen regardless of the temperature. I like to cover my bases with Super Skin Serum Tint by the clean beauty brand Ilia. This formula is an award-winning skin tint with light coverage that doubles as skincare and contains mineral SPF! It is a 3 in 1 product that I continue to use all year round because it is also clinically proven to improve skin dryness, blemishes, redness, wrinkles, and uneven tone over time.
I don't know about you, but my skin gets drier and more prone to eczema in the colder months. Dry skin means calls for more moisture! My favorite all-purpose moisturizer is beef tallow, and I love the brand Primally Pure.
Their body butter combines vitamin rich beef tallow with shea butter and mango butter, olive oil and essential oils. The body butters come in almond and vanilla, citrus and mint, or lavender and eucalyptus. My favorite scent is the almond and vanilla for a sweet aroma, but I love to use citrus and mint in the morning for a citrus energy boost, and the lavender at night for a calming ritual.
Another thing that helps my dry skin in the cooler months is to oil cleanse instead of using a harsh cleanser that will make dryness worse. I love the Primally Pure cleansing oil, especially since they have different formulas for dry, normal, or oily skin.
Not only am I conscious of what I eat and put on my body, but I have become even more conscious about what I have in my home!
Fall means cozy time spent at home, football Sunday's, holidays, baking, and all of the pumpkin scents! I love having a candle lit whenever I'm home... something coffee, spice, or citrus related in the morning, and something more calming at night like lavender or vanilla.
Meaningful Mantras makes candles that are free from synthetic fragrances, artificial dyes and petrochemicals. They are made from sustainable vegan coconut wax and 100% real essential oils, so I don't worry about inhaling toxins, and I can enjoy the natural and nostalgic aromas! They are also great to gift for the holidays or as hostess gifts.
While we might be sad to say goodbye to the warmth of the summer sunshine, I know I will be embracing the foliage, cozy nights and Fall aromas - I hope you will be too! :)
