Although the temperatures will continue to be in the mid 80s for the next couple weeks, there's a familiar shift in the atmosphere. I was completely giddy at stashing my floral sun dresses and shorts in the place my autumn sweaters had occupied for the last hot months. Hot teas, cozy nights snuggled under blankets, or seated next to the fire, and all things comfy! While I am just as excited as the next person, I find that I am paying more attention to my skin. I spent all summer worrying about sun screen, staying hydrated, and overall practicing self care. With all of this aside, my skin needs a little extra. Just like the trees shed their leaves, our skin sheds its summer glow, and preps for the drier months ahead.
Have you ever noticed how, with each passing autumn, your skin starts to feel a little tighter, a little rougher? I used to think it was just the chill in the air, but I soon realized, as the seasons change, so should our skincare. The humidity of summer disappears, leaving skin dry, flaky, and in need of some extra nourishment.
This is where my love for shea butter soap comes in. Infused with deeply moisturizing properties, shea butter is a skin savior during fall. Unlike harsh, drying cleansers, these soaps gently cleanse while locking in moisture, making them the perfect transition piece for your skincare routine. It's like wrapping your skin in a cozy, nourishing blanket.
Fall is a time to swap out light, gel-based cleansers for something richer and more nourishing. Opt for hydrating products, like my shea butter soap bars, which not only cleanse but seal in moisture. You'll also want to add layers to your routine-just as you layer your clothes, layer your skincare with a moisturizers and serums.
I created these shea butter soaps not just as a product, but as a love letter to fall skincare. They're crafted in small batches with skin-loving ingredients that work in harmony with the season. Whether you're dealing with dry patches, irritation, or simply want to maintain a healthy glow, these soaps are designed to cleanse gently with protective and nourishing ingredients.
This fall, why not give your skin the care it deserves? You don't have to overhaul your routine, but a simple switch to a nourishing, shea butter soap can make all the difference. Plus, my soaps are packaged in compostable materials, so you won't be throwing away another plastic bottle! Your skin will thank you as it transitions smoothly into the cozy months ahead. Let's change with the season, together!
