I recently learned that in nature, fall is actually a time of immense growth. As trees shed their leaves, all of their energy is devoted to growing their roots stronger and deeper than before.
On a superficial level, fall can appear as a time of loss. Loss of foliage, of activities, of sunlight. But beneath the surface, itβs actually a time of grounding, resetting and preparation.
The same transition happens within us. Our bodies, minds, and our skin, need different things at different times of year. Long, humid, hot days slowly turn cooler, crisper, and more dry. The same skin that needed exfoliation and light moisture in summer, now needs protection and extra support.
That certainly doesn't mean you have to overhaul your skincare cabinet, but some small swaps can make all of the difference.
And of course, fall brings more than skincare changes, it brings a whole new vibe. There's a certain joy in packing up uncomfy jean shorts and bringing out the leggings, the fleeces and cozy sweaters.
With that in mind, we've put together a compilation of fall products swaps to help you get your skin ready for colder months, and your home ready to embrace and enjoy this transition.
Rehydrate and Restore: Fall Skincare Rituals
GLOW Deep Moisturizing Elixer
As summer winds down, we cannot wait to bring GLOW Deep Moisturizing Elixir back into the fold. Our 100% natural formula visibly prepares and repairs the skinβs moisture barrier in colder climates.
GLOWβs rich blend of oils, like hydrating Apricot Kernel Oil and antioxidant-rich Pomegranate Oil, deeply moisturize and fortify the skin. Itβs still super lightweight and works below the surface to create lasting results when used consistently.
As the weather gets drier, you donβt want to wait until you see the visible signs of dryness to act. GLOW offers the perfect non-comedogenic support for your skin, so that you donβt lose a moment of moisture.
SOAK - PROTECT Bath Salts
Another thing to welcome with open arms as the weather cools off: BATHS. A warm bath can be a pivotal fall ritual for skin, body and mind.
SOAK - PROTECT offers purifying and detoxifying benefits through its mineral-rich salts like Epsom, Dead Sea, and Himilayan, alongside the ancient cleansing powers of Green and Bentonite clay.
Equal to the skin-supporting benefits, each of our SOAK bath salt mixes provide a unique aromatherapy experience. PROTECT uses a blend of Sweet Orange, Fir and Clove essential oils to create a warm, comforting aroma that perfectly captures the essence of the season, while providing a sense of protection and clarity.
Setting the Mood: Bringing the Outdoors In
Lake Life Soy Candle
In the summer months, your house can feel like a mere pit stop between work, social meet-ups, and other activities. Laundry stacks up, dishes are βsoakingβ in the sink for longer than they should, and your bedroom is simply a place to fall asleep before doing it all again tomorrow.
In fall, your home environment become more important and intentional. As we lose time outdoors, home becomes a sanctuary from the elements. A place to watch the rain fall, to curl up with that book thatβs been on your nightstand for months, a place to relish in a late dinner or long nap.
For us, scent is a huge part of marking this transition. The ambience of any lit candle can completely change the feel of a room, but we especially love bringing out Lake Life Soy Candle in the fall.
The blend of crisp Pine, fresh Eucalyptus, and grounding Cedarwood brings the feeling of a peaceful lake day right into your living room. Soothing scents like Lavender and Bargamot can help calm the mind, and reduce stress as you wind down for the evening.
Pair it with a cozy blanket and warm drink and youβll be ready not only to accept fall, but to welcome it with open arms.
A Simple Ritual to Welcome the Season
So, hereβs our prescription for you:
- Light a Lake Life Soy Candle to fill your space with a grounding aroma.
- Add a scoop of SOAK - PROTECT to your warm bath.
- Step into a fuzzy bath robe, and apply a few drops of GLOW to slightly damp skin to seal in moisture.
Change isnβt easyβbut we can learn to embrace it by changing our habits to harmonize with our environment.
This holistic approach to wellness can support both your skin and your soul during any time of transition.
