The Ultimate Fall Self-Care Routine with Coco Skin Therapy
As the crisp air and falling leaves of autumn settle in, it's the perfect time to adjust your self-care routine. The change in weather can leave your skin feeling drier, while the hustle of the season can leave you needing extra TLC. At Coco Skin Therapy, we believe that self-care is about nourishing both your body and soul, and there’s no better season than fall to prioritize both.
Here’s the ultimate fall self-care routine to help you feel refreshed, hydrated, and ready to take on the colder months—while keeping your skin glowing and healthy!
1. Start with Hydration from Within
As the weather cools down, it’s easy to forget to hydrate properly. However, staying hydrated is essential for keeping your skin glowing and healthy. This fall, sip on warm herbal teas like chamomile or ginger, which can also help boost digestion and warmth.
Tip: Infuse your water with seasonal fruits like apples and cinnamon for a refreshing, fall-inspired drink that keeps hydration interesting!
2. Switch to a Hydrating Cleanser
Fall is the time to switch out those lightweight summer cleansers for something more hydrating and soothing. Use Coco Skin Therapy’s Coconut Milk & Honey Cleanser, which provides deep moisture without stripping your skin of its natural oils. It’s the perfect way to start your skincare routine while protecting your skin’s moisture barrier.
Pro Tip: Avoid hot water when washing your face as it can dry out your skin even more—stick to lukewarm water.
3. Exfoliate Gently to Remove Dry, Flaky Skin
As temperatures drop, you may notice your skin becoming flaky or rough. Gently exfoliating once or twice a week can help remove dead skin cells and reveal a smoother complexion. Our Coconut & Brown Sugar Body Scrub is a gentle yet effective way to slough off dead skin, leaving your body soft and glowing.
Why it works: The brown sugar exfoliates, while the coconut oil deeply nourishes, giving your skin the hydration it craves.
4. Layer on a Rich Moisturizer
The key to preventing dry, cracked skin during fall is a rich moisturizer. Opt for Coco Skin Therapy’s Coconut & Shea Whipped Body Butter for an indulgent, hydrating treat that melts into your skin. The combination of shea butter and coconut oil forms a protective barrier, sealing in moisture and keeping your skin soft and hydrated all day long.
Fall Hydration Hack: Apply your body butter right after a shower to lock in moisture while your skin is still damp.
5. Don’t Forget Lip and Hand Care
The chilly weather can take a toll on your lips and hands, leaving them dry and cracked. Be sure to keep a lip balm with hydrating ingredients like coconut oil on hand. For your hands, use our Coconut Hand Cream to prevent dryness, especially after frequent handwashing.
Pro Tip: Keep your hand cream in your bag or at your desk so you can reapply throughout the day!
6. Incorporate Self-Care Rituals
Fall is the perfect season to slow down and create cozy self-care rituals. Light a fall-scented candle (think pumpkin spice or vanilla) to set the mood, and indulge in an at-home spa night. Give yourself a soothing face mask, enjoy a warm bath with coconut oil, or treat your skin to a deep hydration boost with our Coconut & Honey Hydrating Mask.
Mindful Moment: Take this time to unplug from technology, relax with a book, or meditate to recharge both your body and mind.
7. Eat Seasonally for Glowing Skin
What you eat also impacts your skin’s health. Fall is full of nourishing, seasonal produce like pumpkin, sweet potatoes, and apples, which are rich in vitamins and antioxidants. These superfoods can help your skin glow from the inside out.
Try this: Whip up a comforting pumpkin soup or roast sweet potatoes for a delicious, skin-loving meal!
8. Get Plenty of Sleep
With the busy fall season, sleep often takes a backseat, but it’s one of the most important parts of your self-care routine. Prioritize getting 7-9 hours of sleep each night to allow your body and skin to repair and rejuvenate.
Bonus Tip: Apply our Coconut & Lavender Sleep Oil before bed to soothe your senses and promote restful sleep.
Conclusion: Embrace Fall with Coco Skin Therapy
Fall is all about comfort and care, so take this time to slow down, embrace the season, and prioritize your self-care. With Coco Skin Therapy, you can stay hydrated, pamper your skin, and create cozy rituals that nourish your soul.
