Complete Guide to Fall Skincare Tips & Tricks
Welcome to Fall, the Season of Crisp Air and Cozy Vibes!
As the leaves turn to gold and the air cools, our skin often faces new challenges. Dryness, irritation, and dullness tend to creep in during autumn. But don’t worry! With the right skincare routine and a few natural tips, you can keep your skin glowing and healthy throughout the season.
Here’s your complete guide to fall skincare, using my natural and organic products plus a few seasonal tricks to help you feel your best, inside and out.
1. Moisturize Like a Pro
Fall is notorious for drying out the skin, so upping your hydration game is key. Use the Renew Moisturizer after cleansing and toning to lock in moisture and protect your skin from harsh weather. Its natural oils deeply hydrate, leaving your skin soft, smooth, and glowing.
2. Don’t Skip the Toner
After cleansing, apply the Refresh Toner generously to prep your skin for moisturizer. Toners with natural ingredients like aloe vera help balance the skin's pH and provide an extra layer of hydration, which is crucial during drier months.
3. Exfoliate & Detox with Clay Masks
As the weather cools, your skin may become dull due to dryness. Use the Detox Clay Mask twice a week to exfoliate dead skin cells, remove impurities, and refresh your complexion. Let it dry for 15 minutes and rinse off with warm water, followed by toner and moisturizer.
4. Benefits of Dry Brushing for Fall Skin
Dry brushing is the ultimate fall skincare hack. As your skin becomes drier, brushing helps remove dead skin cells, improve circulation, and boost lymphatic drainage. Dry brushing also prepares your skin to absorb the oils from the Healing Body Oil, leaving it smooth and glowing.
How to Dry Brush:
- Before your shower, use a dry brush on your body in gentle, upward strokes, focusing on areas that tend to get rougher, like your elbows and knees.
- Follow with a warm shower and apply the Healing Body Oil to lock in moisture and keep your skin hydrated all day long.
5. Nourish Your Skin from the Inside Out
Your skin reflects what you put into your body, so it’s essential to nourish yourself with healthy foods and teas. As the season changes, warming spices like cinnamon, ginger, and cloves can help boost circulation and provide antioxidants.

Ingredients:
- 1 cinnamon stick

6. Boost Your Immune System with Herbs
Fall is also the start of cold and flu season, so boosting your immune system is more important than ever. Incorporate herbs like elderberry, echinacea, and ginger to help strengthen your body’s defenses.
Immunity-Boosting Diffuser Blend:
- 3 drops of eucalyptus oil
- 3 drops of clove oil
- 2 drops of ginger oil
- 2 drops of orange oil
Diffuse this blend at home to purify the air and give your immune system a boost.
7. Get Outside and Embrace Fall’s Beauty
Fall is one of the most magical times of the year to be outside. Spend time walking in the crisp air, explore corn mazes, and hike through the fallen leaves. Connecting with nature can improve your mood, boost circulation, and keep your body moving, all of which contribute to healthy skin.
Fun Fall Activities:
- Visit a Pumpkin Patch: Pick your own pumpkins for cooking or crafting. Pumpkin pulp is great for making homemade face masks due to its high levels of vitamins A and C.
- Go on a Nature Walk: Take in the changing leaves and brisk air. Walking improves blood flow and provides natural light, both of which keep your skin looking vibrant.
- Explore a Corn Maze: It’s not only fun but great for getting your steps in and moving your body!
8. Fun Pumpkin-Inspired Skincare
Pumpkins aren’t just for lattes and jack-o-lanterns—they’re also great for your skin! Try a DIY Pumpkin Face Mask to brighten your complexion.
Pumpkin Face Mask Recipe:
-
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp pureed pumpkin
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp yogurt
- Instructions: Mix ingredients into a smooth paste. Apply to clean skin and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. Rinse off and follow with toner and moisturizer for glowing skin!
9. Stay Hydrated
It’s easy to forget to drink water when the temperature drops, but hydration is just as important in the fall as it is during the summer. Try to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day to keep your skin looking plump and hydrated.
For an extra boost, make my Structured Lemon Water by adding the juice of 1 lemon, 2 limes, and a pinch of sea salt to a quart of filtered water. Let it sit overnight and drink it first thing in the morning to hydrate and detoxify your body.
10. Final Tips for Healthy Fall Skin
- Stick to Natural Products: Always opt for organic, toxin-free skincare products to avoid irritation and long-term damage.
- Keep Your Routine Consistent: Consistency is key. Stick to your skincare routine, even as the weather changes.
- Be Gentle: Fall skin tends to be more sensitive, so use gentle products like my Teen Glow Line or Anti-Aging Line to keep your skin balanced.
