9 Fall Skincare Swaps That Will Transform Your Beauty Routine

Botanical Republic (CA)

Replenish Antioxidant Moisturizer

Maker: Hannah Kim

Lightweight moisturizers are a staple for sweltering summers, but colder months call on a thicker formulation. This super-thick, superfood moisturizer from Botanical Republic is jam-packed with fatty acids and antioxidants. Fall is all about layers, so enrobe your skin in a velvety-soft butter that nourishes.

“Even though it's thick, it absorbs quickly and doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy,” raves one 5-star review. “It's like a beautiful face butter!”

Good Flower Farm (TN)

Blood Orange + Grapefruit Lip Balm

Maker: Rachel Carpenter

When prepping your skin for cooler temps, don’t forget your lips! Pucker up to a new lip balm, like this deeply moisturizing tube from Good Flower Farm. Rich coconut oil, shea butter, and beeswax team up into a hefty tube of smooch-soothing swipes that’ll last all season. 

“I recently committed to finding the best possible lip balm and have tested more than 20 of them,” comments one hyped reviewer. “This one has by far the best moisture, scent, and packaging!”

Sans Skincare (MD)

Honey Lip Scrub

Maker: Renan Kennedy

Typical rule of thumb is to cut back on facial exfoliators come fall, but your lips need a different level of white-glove service. Keep lips kissably soft this autumn with this Honey Lip Scrub. Sugars and apple fibers strip away cracks and chaps, while honey draws out moisture to keep lips supple and sweet.

“It really makes your lips feel soft and leaves a moisturized sweet flavor,” says one fan. “I use it as a ‘maintenance' type scrub just because I like the way my lips feel after using it!”

Moody Sisters Skincare (WA)

Radiant Natural Body Lotion

Maker: Whitney Acheson

Summer can keep skin soft and dewy, but when the humidity starts to wane, the dry and itchies sneak in. Time to slather on extra hydration from head to toe! Add this lush lotion from Moody Sisters to your routine. A few fingerfuls will lock in moisture and retain your sun-kissed glow even as the days grow shorter.

“I love how lightweight and energizing this lotion feels,” praises one user. “I may be slightly obsessed!”

Fruits to the Roots (MD)

Eye Balm

Maker: Lauren Dodge

Drier autumnal air can bring out lines and creases, so a plush eye cream is a beauty bag essential. Fruits to the Roots keeps your peepers awake and illuminated with 27 botanicals like Albizia and Bilberries. It’s brimming with Vitamin C—an all-natural brightener that also helps stave off sun damage.

“This balm is so smooth and creamy!” a happy reviewer celebrates. “I use just a dab around each eye, and it definitely helps wake me up!”
