Beauty tips : Essential Fall Items!

Your beauty ritual should change with the seasons! While face protection is an obvious must, don't overlook your lips, hands or body either—especially if your skin is sensitive to the slightest change in temperature. Here are a few suggestions for anti-crack cream and must-have new products.

In fall, our lips tend to get dry due to cold and wind. Several other factors can also, however, be responsible. Wetting your lips with your tongue too often can eventually cause chapping. Regular use of volumizing lipstick can also dry your lips. No matter the cause, use lip balm to help prevent and heal irritated lips.

Suggested product: Clarins Moisture Replenishing Lip Balm, an intensive care multi-moisturizer with essential rose wax; keep it close at hand.

Harsh weather can chap your hands' skin or make it red. If such is the case, avoid washing your hands under very hot water—use lukewarm water instead, along with a mild soap. Apply moisturizing cream after each washing whilst your hands are still moist.

Suggested product: La Roche-Posay Lipikar Xerand hand repair cream. If your hands are very cracked, apply the cream before bedtime and put cotton gloves on. They'll be less rough when you wake up.

We often neglect to pamper our body, especially during the cold season. When skin feels tight, it's a sign that it needs to be moisturized. Dry, sensitive skin is particularly sensitive to cold. If you have sensitive skin, avoid washing in very hot water and wearing wools that irritate it.

Suggested product: Eau Thermale Avène Moisturising body lotion, which restores your skin's protective film and soothes your skin. Massage into skin lightly following your shower or bath.

If summer has left its mark in the form of multiple pigmentation spots on your face, take advantage of autumn to even your complexion and correct dark spots, colour imperfections and uneven skin tone.

Suggested product: Lancôme DreamTone. This next generation serum with exfoliating properties is sure to please every woman. Available for fair, medium or dark skin.

And to top it all off, why not change your palette? Get inspired by the latest trends, but be sure to choose styles that match your personality.

An interesting find: Quatuor Tartantastique Eyeshadow Quartet, a seasonal palette of eye shadow colours.
