Skincare Tips to Welcome Autumn

Autumn is right around the corner, but for many it feels as though it has arrived a little early. If you are already experiencing a little chill in the air, then it is time to switch from your summer skincare routine to one that is appropriate for the cooler season. Welcoming the new cooler weather can really wreak havoc on the skin, and dry chapped skin and dehydration can cause serious discomfort. Therefore, I wanted to share some of the changes that I have implement to my skincare routine when the season gets cooler.

Here are five easy steps to keep your skin comfortable and hydrated throughout the coldest months of the year. The important thing to remember is to layer your products in the proper order, from the lightest and fastest absorbing to the heaviest textures in order to maximize their efficacy.

5 Easy Steps to Pamper Your Face:

Step 1Use a gentle non-stripping cleanser. When needed, use a gentle exfoliator in lieu of a cleanser.

Step 2Use a lightweight and fast absorbing serum, such as hyaluronic acid-based serum that will deliver much needed hydration to winter skin. Gently massage the serum into your face, neck and décolleté. Since this is the lightest of the product layers that you will be using, it should be applied first.

Step 3Follow by massaging your favorite facial oil into your face, neck and décolleté. Once this has begun to sink into your skin, then move on to step 4.

Step 4Massage your favorite lotion or cream into your face, neck and décolleté. Once it has been absorbed into your skin, then proceed to the final step.

Step 5Since sunscreen is one of the most important skincare products that you can use, invest in a good one that has an SPF 30 or higher. Apply it generously to your face, neck and décolleté, and be sure to reapply it numerous times throughout the day (typically every 75 minutes).

At night, repeat steps 1-4 and skip the sunscreen. These 5 steps will only take you a few minutes, and the benefits are really worth the time spent. I also drink plenty of water to help keep hydrated– which helps a lot. 

If your hands and feet are dry and chapped, and in need some TLC, then here are my super-easy, and ultra-relaxing at-home tips to restore their moisture. You really don't have to go out and buy any fancy and expensive products, instead use what you love and already have on hand.

Six Easy Steps to Pamper Your Hands and Feet:

Step 1: Wash your hands and feet with warm soapy water in a basin.

Step 2: While your hands and feet are soaking in the basin, gently exfoliate dead skin cells with your favorite body scrub. Tip: Exfoliate gently because the water softens up your skin, and therefore you don't need to use any force.

Step 3: Thoroughly rinse hands and feet and empty the basin.

Step 4: Rinse out the basin and refill it with warm water and add a small amount of bath or body oil to moisturize your freshly exfoliated skin. Let your hands and feet soak for about 10-15 minutes, then rinse.

Step 5: Massage additional body oil into your slightly damp hands and feet, and let it sink in thoroughly.

Step 6: Massage a rich cream or body butter into your hands and feet, and then put on fluffy cotton socks, and cotton gloves (if you want to further pamper your hands).

Additionally, this is a good time to replace your lighter body lotion with a heavier cream, and it is also a good time to deep condition your hair.

What changes do you make to your skin and hair care routines as summer gives way to the cooler months of the year?

Lavanila The Healthy Deodorant Still My Holy Grail After All These Years

Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Lavanila The Healthy Deodorant has been my very favorite deodorant since my sister introduced it to me many years ago, and actually years before Lola's Secret Beauty Blog existed (founded November 6, 2011). I knew immediately that this was the deodorant formula for me since it is effective, free of the harsh chemicals found in drugstore brands, and their deodorants are a pleasure to use.

Available in the following scents: Pure Vanilla, Vanilla Lavender, Vanilla Eucalyptus, Vanilla Grapefruit, Vanilla Coconut, Vanilla + Water, Vanilla Passionfruit, Vanilla Blackberry and Sport Luxe (especially effective for active people).
LAVANILA The Healthy Deodorant in Pure Vanilla is a wonderful healthy deodorant formula that is effective, smells delicious and offers long-lasting protection. Made from Pure Madagascar vanilla, creamy tonka bean, and a soft heliotrope blend, this delicious fragrance is a treat to the senses. The Pure Vanilla scent is warm and creamy perfection, and wearing it is a real pleasure.

Available in a nice range of scents, their scrumptious smelling The Healthy Deodorants offer odor protection all day long, and the healthy ingredients condition the skin. I love all of the scents that I have tried, but the Pure Vanilla is my favorite of all time! 

If you are seeking an antiperspirant, then be advised that this does not prevent sweating. This has been my favorite healthy deodorant for many years now, and I will use it as long as LAVANILA makes it. It applies to the skin effortlessly, without tugging, and it never leaves a residue or stain on the clothes. This is a cruelty-free brand and their deodorants are free of aluminum and parabens.

When I exercise, I tend to reach for the Sport Luxe version ($14.00) since it is perfectly formulated for working out, and it provides extra odor protection, but it is not an antiperspirant either.

According to LAVANILA,

A delicate blend of warm Madagascar vanilla and soft freesia petals. The perfect natural vanilla deodorant. Clinically Tested. Dermatologist Recommended. No Aluminum. No Paraben. No Propylene Glycol. No Harsh Chemicals.

Benefits:
  • Superior, Aluminum-Free odor protection

  • SmartSport Technology: A proprietary blend of all-natural antibacterial, antimicrobial, and nourishing actives deliver high performance protection.
  • Lemon and Tea Tree Oil: Non-irritating, pure plant extracts with disinfecting properties that keep the underarm area fresh and clean.
Ingredients: Aloe barbadensis leaf juice (Aloe juice, water/aqua), Propanediol (Corn derived), Zea mays (Corn) starch, Sodium stearate (Coconut derived), Silica, Carrageenan (Seaweed derived), Stearyl behenate (Coconut derived), Citrus medica limonum (Lemon peel oil), Inulin (Artichoke derived), Saccharomyces ferment, Alpha-Glucan oligosaccharide (Sugar derived), Yeast beta glucan, Lonicera caprifolium (Honeysuckle) flower extract, Usnea barbata (Lichen) extract, Valeriana officinalis root extract (Valerian), Hydrastis canadensis (Goldenseal) extract, Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea tree) flower/leaf/stem extract, Lycium barbarum fruit extract (Goji berry), Vanilla planifolia (Vanilla) oil, Botanical fragrance blend.

About AMEŌN Skin,

Ameōn was founded by Alina Mehrle to create 'the most gentle and effective products using the best of natural, active plant-based and biotech ingredients that work for everyone.' The name AMEON is a portmanteau: Âme means 'soul' in French, and ON is from their motto - 'Turn ON your skin's potential'.

Alina Mehrle trained as an architect and worked in design and visual art, founding her own interior design company in New York. She had her future mapped out as a designer. But then at the age of 30, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Alina says: 'Eight sessions of chemo (and living in New York City) left my skin fragile and dehydrated. It was such a challenge to bring my skin back to life that I realized I had to launch a skincare brand. We spent 2 years developing 5 core products that nourish and heal damaged skin. With my breast cancer in remission, I owe this second chance at life to my family’s love and the achievements of modern medicine. I firmly believe that creating great skincare products requires striking the proper balance between nature and the achievements of modern science.'

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and I would like to take this opportunity to pay attention to your body, take care of yourself, get that breast exam, take that nap without feeling guilty, breathe slower.

        BANILA CO Covericious Ultimate Cover Cushion Foundations Review

        Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

        Banila Co., the amazing K-Beauty brand, is known around the world for their the No.1 cleansing balm, and they have now added an incredible cushion foundation to their collection of products. Banila Co Covericious Ultimate Cover Cushion Foundation is available in 20 shades, each cushion offers buildable medium-to-full coverage with a soft-matte finish. I have 5 of the shades to share with you today.
        According to BANILA CO,

        Available in 20 expertly calibrated shades for fair to deep skin tones, experience long-lasting comfort and coverage with Banila Co’s high-performance Korean cushion foundation. Offering up to 100 hours of wear, each cushion blends seamlessly with your undertone to create a bright, natural-looking complexion without oxidizing or turning dull throughout the day. Designed to resist sweat and transfer,this formula stays fresh and even from morning to night.

        Each cushion offers buildable medium-to-full coverage with a soft-matte finish. This visibly blurs pores and texture while delivering a lightweight, breathable feel that is never heavy or cakey. Formulated with skin-fitting powders, each skincare infused formula incorporates White Truffle, (rich in Vitamin B12 and antioxidants) and a complex of 8 white flowers including jasmine, lotus, and edelweiss. These ingredients help brighten dull skin, boost radiance, and soothe irritation, keeping your skin calm and hydrated even under makeup.

        Each cushion is also designed with Banila Co’s exclusive white cushion puff, featuring a soft, bouncy texture that hugs the skin. Its unique shape makes it easy to glide or tap along facial contours, helping apply the formula thinly and evenly.
        Each of the 5 colors that I received, shown below, apply effortlessly. They glide across the skin beautifully, deposit color evenly and they don't settle into pores or lines. The soft matte finish is quite natural and looks like skin, rather than makeup. It offers buildable medium to full coverage, but with a very light touch I am able to achieve my favorite lighter coverage (the my skin, but better appearance). Of the 5 shades that I received, 21C Rosé is my best match since it is a cool-toned neutral pink beige, and it gives my skin a flawless finish. It feels comfortable on the skin, it remains in place all day long until I remove it, and it never flakes, peels or looks as though I am wearing a mask. Banila Co claims that this foundation offers up to 100 hours of wear, but that is not a claim that I have tested, or that I intend to test since I would never go 4 days without washing my face, let alone without removing my makeup.
        Left to Right: 17W Fair, 19C Light, 21C Rosé, 21W Ivory and 23N Medium

        17W Fair is a fair beige
        19C Light is a porcelain cool beige

        Directions: Get a moderate amount on the white cushion puff and thinly apply it to the skin and lightly blend. Use the exclusive white cushion puff, featuring a soft, bouncy texture that hugs the skin. Its unique shape makes it easy to glide or tap along facial contours, helping apply the formula thinly and evenly. Made with skin-friendly, certified materials — including German DermaTest approval and produced by a vegan-certified manufacturer.
