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 1: Use a gentle non-stripping cleanser. When needed, use a gentle exfoliator in lieu of a cleanser.Step 2: Use 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 3: Follow 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 4: Massage 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 5: Since 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.
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).

Boxwalla October Beauty Box Sneak Peak: Autumn in New York Featuring AMEŌN Skin
Boxwalla October Skincare Subscription Box: The theme of of October Skincare Box is Autumn in New York, and it features three lovely products from AMEŌN Skin.
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.
The Contents of the October Skincare Box:
Baby Buddha Calming Serum: This universal milky serum is especially formulated to restore skin and help it heal: it is absolutely lovely, hydrating & calming. It contains the soothing probiotic, Lactobacillus ferment, as well as a powerful blend of prebiotics & plant extracts that help balance the skin microbiome. Edelweiss’s cell culture extract protects against oxidative stress while restoring photo-aged skin. The leontopodic acid in Edelweiss strengthens the skin barrier & helps reduce signs of sensitivity. This serum also contains Tephrosia Purpurea Seed Extract that has anti-stress & anti-pollutant properties, antioxidant-rich Pumpkin seed extract, prebiotic Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide & much more!
Holy Cream Diamond Moisturizer: This luscious cream of my dreams is formulated with a wonderful combination of plant oils, bioferments & 7 powerful peptides. It includes Macadamia oil that nourishes & softens the skin, hydrating Alteromonas Ferment Filtrate found in deep sea water, Edelweiss callus culture extract that reduces inflammation & protects against oxidative stress, as well as a new generation of peptides that help with skin regeneration, repair, & improve firmness & elasticity.
Headband: This velvet, stretchy, purple headband from Ameon would make a fun addition to this box and would elevate your daily skincare ritual. It is great to keep your hair out of your face while cleansing, masking, and massaging serums & creams into your skin.
Price of the box: $59.95. Retail value: $170.00. Price of the box: $59.95 from Boxwalla.
