Alright y’all, it’s September. And September means fall. And fall means colder weather. And colder weather means saying goodbye to humidity and hello to dry, cold air.
Season changes can be really hard on your skin and hair. When the weather changes from hot and humid to cold, windy, and dry, the humidity is taken out of the air and even out of your skin. The good news is that there are some amazing products out there that can help prevent the stress of this change from affecting your body.
Here are three beauty products I swear by that will come in handy with this colder season:
1. Amber and Argan Body Butter
Truth be told, I only bought this product because Vanessa at Bath and Body Works wouldn’t leave me the hell alone. BUT, it actually is a great source to replenish the oils your face and body will lose with the arrival of the harsher weather this coming winter.
Argan oil is rich in vitamins A and E, making it perfect for healing and hydrating dry skin. Plus, it absorbs quickly, so it doesn’t leave your skin feeling too oily. You can get it from Bath and Body Works or online here.
2. L'Oreal Extraordinary Oil Serum
I have curly, frizzy hair and neither summer or winter weather is nice to it. In the summer, the humidity makes it uncontrollable and the harsh winter air makes it weak and dry. This serum is life-changing. I use it after washing my hair, to help heal split-ends, and when perfecting my daily hair style, to keep my hair bright all day. You can get it anywhere hair-products are available, or here from Target.
3. Burt's Bees Ultra Conditioning Lip Balm
Chapped lips are the absolute worst and almost unavoidable when you have to walk across campus to class in the cold every day. This lip balm is perfect for both healing already chapped lips and preventing them from getting chapped in the first place.
It has Kokum, Cocoa and Shea Butters that leave your lips soft, smooth, and hydrated. You can get it in any cosmetic's section or makeup store, or from Burt's Bees online here.
Season changes are stressful on your body, get prepared and stock up to support your skin, hair, and lips from damage this fall and winter.
