The way you stock your skincare products should be somewhat similar to how you approach your clothes from season to season. It’s important to switch out the products that are not ideal for the current weather.
Below are some key tips for transitioning your skincare regimen from late summer heat to that crisp autumn chill which includes product suggestions from botanical based skincare brands infused with good for you ingredients like Orange stem cells, Peony and Lemon extract!
Change Up Your Moisturizer! The cooler temperatures and biting wind is a good indication that it’s time to reach for a slightly heavier moisturizer with hydrating ingredients.
Try: Arbonne RE9 Advanced Restorative Cream ($66, Arbonne.com) provides loads of hydration thanks to hyaluronic acid that acts as a cushioning and lubrication agent to lock in moisture while orange stem cells help to improve the appearance of skin radiance, elasticity, firmness and texture
Get Your Scrub On! Exfoliation is the best way to treat parched, flaky skin and stimulate natural oil production.
Try: neuRADIANCE instant cell exfoliator($79, Neiman Marcus) infused with radiance enhancing ingredients including magnesium crystals, pearl powder and meadowfoam seed oil, the unique technology provides a warming effect upon application and a cooling sensation when removed promoting a radiant, glowing complexion.
Personalize It! Evaluate what product works best for you based on your personal factors.
Need an extra dose of hydration with an added glow? Try: NEW Dear by Renée® Skin Renewal Serum ($79.99, DearByRenee.com) infused with Passion Fruit and Lemon Fruit Acids gently encourage cellular turnover resulting in a more youthful appearance.
Does your delicate area need extra TLC against the cooler climates? Try: Arbonne RE9 Advanced Lifting and Contouring Eye Cream ($62, Arbonne.com) Deeply condition to deliver more lifted-looking skin; helps contour, making skin feel firmer and smoother
Last week I attended the Konstantino Jewelry Trunk Show at Saks Fifth Avenue. The designer featured handcrafted pieces from Greece.
Each unique design showcased silver or gold metals along with luxury gems. The collection representative explained how specific pieces were created and allowed me to view the items up close.
As a style expert, the Konstantino Jewelry Collection can be paired with on-trend fashion items or classic styles and designs.
It’s finally time to say goodbye to summer and strut into fall with style. It might feel like it’s been awhile since your last vacation; whether you’re running around a city’s fashion week or trying to get back into the busy routine of school run. The cold weather doesn’t help your skin, hair, or nails which can end up suffering.
If you don’t feel great on the outside you’ll end up heading into fall with the wrong mindset and your summer glow will become a distant memory. However, with a little bit of time and effort; you can get into a new beauty routine while giving yourself the boost you need to strut into the new season in style.
Skin And Hair
Whether it’s hot or cold; the weather can take its toll on the condition of your skin and hair. Now is the time to start your new routine before it gets and cold. Let’s start with your skin; you’ll need to switch up your routine and add some nourishing products. It’s always worth visiting a beauty counter or spa to seek advice on your skin.
Don’t be pressured into buying anything. You can take away the relevant information (and hopefully a ton of samples) and do your research on the best cleansers, toners, and moisturizers within your budget. Samples are your best bet at this stage; test each out for a few days before deciding if you can feel and see any benefits before you invest in a full sized product. By the time fall is in full swing; you’ll have discovered your ultimate skin saviors for the cold weather, and you’ll be getting your glam on every day.
Facemasks are another great way to top up moisture and restoration for your skin; take a look here: http://www.lookfantastic.com/blog/advice/ultimate-face-mask-routine/ and create the ultimate Sunday night routine to give you a glow for Monday morning. Steer clear of harsh chemicals and choose products that will soothe and hydrate giving a youthful boost in no time. Treat your body to a soak in your bath tube and indulge in some bath salts, body scrub, and products with relaxing scents and soothing qualities; your skin will thank you for it. Don’t forget those feet and toes; strutting can take its toll; soak them to soften your skin and use a foot cream aimed to nourish and protect your feet (so they’re Louboutin ready).
If your hair is suffering from the rain and wind; you’ll want to wash and condition it with gentle products. Take a look here: https://soundbodylife.com/best-sulfate-free-shampoos-and-conditioners/ and discover the best sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners for your hair. A weekly hair mask will also add moisture and protect your hair from the colder season.
Makeup And Cosmetics
As a fashion and beauty enthusiast; one of the best things about fall is the change in colors and hues. You can say goodbye to the pastel and primary shades that you’ve worn last summer and get the glamour of fall with deep hues in your cosmetics and your clothing. Take a look at some of the latest eye shadow palettes when you’re out shopping.
Switch up that lip color! Nothing says fall more than a deep lipstick. You may need to lighten your base color and embrace new shades of blush. Retain a dewy, youthful glow throughout fall by highlighting the right areas of your face and ensuring the rest of your makeup pops!

Set in New England during autumn, Katie Gallagher’s Fall/Winter 2017 collection, Hallow, finds inspiration in men’s military apparel, specifically the MA-1 bomber jacket. Developed in the 1940s, the bomber jacket provided warmth and safety to pilots during air combat in WWII.
In the decades following, the garment became one of the most identifiable pieces of military apparel, finding its way into popular culture by the end of the 20th century. Gallagher has featured iterations of the bomber jacket in many of her past collections, using tulle, lace, and other unlikely materials to create the traditionally heavy, masculine garment.
Like early bomber jackets that were lined in orange, Gallagher’s color palette will feature black and orange hues, which also recall the colors of autumn and death most commonly associated with All Hallow’s Eve.
Hallow relies heavily on textures and subtle details, featuring point d’esprit and tulle that form non-traditional, dainty, and triangular silhouettes. Materials include airy swiss dot paired with heavy opaque wool, silk, English tulle, Mountain Goat, lambskin, and pony fur leathers. Gallagher’s signature twisted seams finish turtleneck sleeves and leggings.
Hallow is Gallagher’s 16th collection. Gallagher’s past collections have been celebrated by Vogue, The Cut, Nylon, Glamour, Refinery 29, W Magazine and Teen Vogue, among others, for her attention to detail, superior craftsmanship, and creativity. She pulls inspiration from her childhood, music, art, and her life in New York City. More information is available at katiegallagher.com.
