It’s here. Fall.
If you live anywhere in the Northern hemisphere, you know the climate is about to get a little drier. If you live anywhere in, say, Colorado, you know your skin is about to become a parched wasteland of a desert. As glorious as the low humidity may be, let’s be honest — it does a number on our skin. You may wrap your body in a butter-soft Body Bark top, but without some serious moisturizer, soft skin will be elusive throughout the fall and winter months.
If you’re anything like us, you’ll probably have to try a few products to see what works for you with this change of season. And you’ll have to use them in different ways (tip from experience: use lotion right after you get out of the shower to lock in moisture, rather than waiting until your skin is totally dry and tight!). But with any luck, a few of the following products will have your skin happy and healthy for the new season!
