Ahh, Fall. Warm sweaters, cozy blankets, hot chocolate, and fuzzy socks. There are so many things to enjoy about Fall. However, Fall weather can be unkind to our skin.  Fall requires us to update our skincare products and routines to help hydrate and protect our skin. 

• If you’re like me, your hands get very dry and may even crack as the colder weather sets in. This is why one of my new favourite skincare products is ‘Hello Pumpkin Hand Rescue’ from Walton Wood Farm. This hand rescue creme is thick and super moisturizing. The scent is amazing! In addition, Walton Wood Farm products use natural ingredients and exclude harsh ingredients such as SLS, Paraben, and Phthalate, They are vegetarian/vegan-friendly, gluten-free and are never tested on animals. The icing on the cake is that they are a Canadian company.

• To keep the skin on my face hydrated, I love ‘Ultimate Boost Serum’ from AlumierMD. This serum is perfect for those with combination skin, oily skin, or dry skin. Used morning and night, it is perfect to use as a booster under your moisturizer. It addition to its moisturizing properties, it has anti-aging benefits and works to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. AlumierMD creates medical grade skincare products, meaning the concentrations of active ingredients are typically higher than in non-medical grade skincare brands. The entire line of AlumierMD products is fantastic. ‘Ultimate Boost Serum’ , as the name implies, provides that extra boost of hydration so necessary in the colder months.

• Another of my absolute favourite products for fall is our ‘Pumpkin and Clay face mask’ exclusively made for Self by one of our favourite companies, Northern d’Lights. Pumpkin has many benefits when used in skincare: it is full of fruit acids which are excellent exfoliants; it has beta-carotene which is a great anti-aging ingredient: it has vitamin C, an essential for sun damaged skin; and it has zinc for acne prevention. Our ‘Pumpkin and Clay face mask’ is a hand-made limited release made for us every Fall. In October, we use it for our annual pumpkin facials. It is also available for purchase. Northern d’Lights is a Canadian company which produces high-quality bath and skincare products (tip: the bath truffles are superb any time of the year).

• I absolutely adore the Pomegranate SheaLip Balm from Saltspring Soapworks. This lovely product takes care of and prevents the discomfort of dry, chapped lips. The creamy texture is lovely and it is a larger than most other lip balms. Saltspring Soapworks is a Canadian company based in BC. Their products are handmade using natural and organic ingredients when possible. The products do not contain parabens or sodium lauryl sulfate.

Try some of these must-have products for Fall. I promise you will not be disappointed!
