Fall is in full swing. Outdoor temps are chillier and indoor
humidity levels have diminished. For me, I’ve
noticed that with the combination of these two aspects, my skin has become drier and more pale. In my recent article “Redux: Fall Transitioning Tips”, I
covered numerous aspects related to seasonal change, including the need for reassessing
and changing one’s regular skincare and color regimen so both conform to the “issues”
of the new season. With that in mind,
this article focuses on products that address seasonal change concerns and fit nicely
into one’s adjusted routines. This
article also features reviews of products that are ideal for seasonal
transitioning. I’ve included some of my
“Face Faves” from Caudalie, Darphin, Fiafini and Jane Iredale.
Caudalie Beauty Elixir ~ This spray toner is ideal after the cleansing routine,
or used throughout the day for a quick pick-me-up. The predominant rosemary aroma is calming and
soothing; product is non-irritating and hydrating. This is also a great take-with product that
I’ve been using for many years. http://us.caudalie.com/
Darphin Azahar Cleansing Micellar Water ~ This is an all-in-one, no-rinse, soothing cleanser
for face, eyes and lips. It’s particularly
appropriate for sensitive eyes and skin that’s prone to redness, rosacea and
irritation. I loved how it gently removed my make-up and other impurities
without irritating my sensitive skin; my skin was softened, hydrated and
refreshed. With neroli essential oil and natural bisabolol. This product can also be used as a refresher
throughout the day. http://www.darphin.com/
Fiafini 100% Marula Beauty Oil ~ Marula is a nut oil with numerous natural properties that
are ideal for the face; they include cleansing, rehydrating, protecting,
improving cellular production and circulation.
The Beauty Oil has natural antioxidant properties that help to diminish
early signs of aging, including softening fine lines and wrinkles; it’s also soothing
and anti-microbial. A tiny amount of the
Beauty Oil will deliver outstanding
hydration throughout the day, without leaving skin feeling greasy or tacky;
quickly absorbed and ideal for all skin types; can also be used on body, hair and nails. http://fiafini.com/
Jane Iredale Fall Collection ~ The Live In Full Bloom Puremoist Lipstick (Hannah) is a rich warm color
that’s reminiscent of autumn’s burnished leaves; the color glides on easily while
drenching lips with protection and nourishment.
The Smooth Affair Facial Primer
& Brightener is an ideal prep for the face that evens and smooths
texture, while minimizing the appearance of large pores; it also adds a subtle
bit of luminosity; can be used alone, or without any additional makeup, which
is what I prefer during the day. The 24-Karat Gold Dust (Champagne) is a
perfect all-over face glimmer, or highlighter for cheekbones and under brow
area; the subtle glimmer adds wonderful luminosity to the face. The Mascara
(Espresso) is definitely a glam mascara that glides on easily with a rich color, while
lengthening and intensifying the finest of lashes thanks to the fab brush. Loved how it separated and defined each lash
without clumping, smudging or flaking. https://janeiredale.com/

All of these products provide the
perfect seasonal change, coverage, color, conditioning and treatment for the
face. These products will effortlessly
carry you through the seasons beyond Fall. Enjoy!
That’s it for this edition. Until the next one, remember to take care of
yourself and those you love.
