Now that summer has come to an end, and you can stop worrying (as much) about sun damage to your skin and hair; you’ll have the fall weather conditions to contend with before you know it. As the days get shorter and the temperature drops; the condition and needs of your hair and skin will change, so it’s worth thinking about how to keep them looking their best throughout the new season.

More Time For You
The last thing you want to do during hot summer evenings is to get into a warm bath and soak away the stresses of the day. However, fall is the perfect opportunity to hop in the hot water with some bath soaks, a face mask, and a magazine (don’t be tempted to take your iPhone in with you; it’ll end badly).
You can check out some of the best homemade face mask recipes here and write yourself a grocery list. A good old-fashioned pampering session at home will give you something to look forward to; not only lifting your mood and spirits but nourishing and hydrating your hair and skin.
Allow yourself time on a Sunday evening to paint your nails, use a conditioning mask, slather your skin in body butter, and relax in front of Netflix so that you’re rejuvenated for the week ahead and look gorgeous to boot.
A Better Choice Of Products
Your hair and skin have enough to contend with from the wind, rain, and freezing temperatures during the fall morning and evening commute, so don’t add to the stress by using toxic chemicals and products that contain them.
Invest in some new skincare, lotions, and cosmetics that are full of great ingredients and will be kind to your body and the environment (polish that halo). You can check out these organic makeup brands for some shopping list inspiration, and ensure that you know exactly what’s going on to your face each day and how to improve the condition of your skin. Moisturizer is another essential that you may need to switch up a little; invest in a richer cream to provide plenty of hydration for your skin and a barrier against the cold autumn air. Look into changing your skincare routine to suit the change in season; your products shouldn’t be adding any harsh chemicals to your face, so read the ingredients and take a look online for reviews and inspiration.

Sleep Is Your BFF
The more sleep you can get during fall and winter, the better. The nights are longer, which is a great excuse to get into bed early and let your skin regenerate and avoid fine lines, wrinkles, and dehydration that comes with lack of sleep. Keep being kind to yourself both physically and mentally throughout the cold weather and you’ll benefit from beautiful skin.
