As we welcome cooling temperatures outdoors, preparing to pivot to autumn can be a surprisingly delightful turn. Crisp apples, autumn scents, and bold lips are just a few things to look forward to. Summer calls for maximum sun protection and natural hairstyles, but the transition to the new fall season is the perfect time to overhaul your skin care, makeup and hair care.
Summer can cause sun-damaged skin, dry tresses, and even body breakouts. So, you’ll want products that help minimize the damage from sun, salt and sweat to get supple, smooth and hydrated again.
Help skin and hair transition to the slowly cooling weather with products that protect, repair and brighten. You may have been skipping the chemical peels and retinol that cause sun sensitivity but are ready to start adding those back into your regimen. And, of course, some perfect shades to set the drama and a decidedly seductive perfume. What better reason do you need to shop for new beauty essentials?
Scroll on for 17 beauty picks to keep you soft, polished and lovely before we kiss summer goodbye (with perfectly tinted lips.)
