As the leaves begin to change, so does my skincare routine. Fall is all about transitioning from light summer products to richer, more luxurious ones that keep my skin soft, hydrated, and ready to take on the chill. This season, I’ve curated a list of body care products that are not only indulgent but also essential for maintaining that autumn glow.
As fall approaches, my skincare routine evolves into a more luxurious and nourishing ritual, tailored to combat the crisp, cooler air. Each category of my routine—whether in the shower, postshower, sun protection, or those special treats—plays a vital role in keeping my skin soft, supple, and glowing all season long.
Shower Essentials
I love starting my day with a pampering shower routine that preps my skin for the day ahead. I reach for the Josie Maran Vanilla Vibezzz Argan Oil + Sugar Balm Refillable Exfoliating Body Scrub to buff away dullness while leaving my skin smooth and hydrated. For a deeper exfoliation, the fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish Exfoliator is a treat—its warm, sugary scent and rich texture feel indulgent and comforting. On days when my skin needs a little extra TLC, I turn to Nécessaire’s Body Exfoliant Bar for a quick, inshower KP treatment, ensuring every inch of my skin is polished to perfection. The Moroccanoil Body Polishing Scrub adds a touch of luxury with its signature scent, leaving my skin soft and subtly fragranced. Finally, to cleanse and calm, the Drunk Elephant Kamili™ Cream Body Cleanser is my goto—its gentle, creamy formula is perfect for sensitive skin days. To round off my shower routine, the Salt & Stone Bergamot & Hinoki Refillable Body Wash provides a refreshing cleanse, with added niacinamide and probiotics to keep my skin balanced and healthy.
Post Shower:
After stepping out of the shower, I like to envelop my skin in moisture and nourishment. The L'Occitane Smoothing and Firming Almond Supple Skin Body Oil is a staple, absorbing quickly and leaving my skin with a lovely, nutty scent that lingers throughout the day. For intense hydration, I turn to the Youth To The People Superberry Firm + Glow Dream Body Butter—it’s packed with niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants, making it perfect for keeping my skin glowing and supple. On days when I want something lighter, the Maison Louis Marie No.04 Bois de Balincourt Body Oil gives my skin a soft, radiant finish without any greasy residue. Before bed, the Moroccanoil Mini Night Body Serum is a dream—it works overnight to keep my skin soft and rejuvenated by morning. When I’m in the mood for a richer texture, the Moroccanoil Body Souffle Moisturizer is my choice; it’s creamy and indulgent, making my skin feel pampered and deeply nourished. To target specific areas, I use the Caudalie Vinosculpt Lift & Firm Body Cream—its antioxidantrich formula helps keep my skin smooth and toned. And of course, I never forget my hands, especially in fall. The L'Occitane Nourishing and Protective Shea Butter Hand Cream is my goto for keeping my hands soft, protected, and ready for anything.
Sun Protection
Even though the sun isn’t as strong in the fall, I’m still diligent about sun protection. The CAY SKIN Isle Body Oil Sunscreen SPF 30 is a favorite because it’s lightweight, hydrating, and smells divine—perfect for those crisp, sunny days. When I need extra protection, especially for long walks or outdoor activities, the CAY SKIN Isle Nourishing Body Mist SPF 50 is my goto. It’s easy to apply on the go and leaves my skin feeling refreshed and protected with a healthy dose of hyaluronic acid to keep it hydrated.
Scent and Soak
Fall is all about indulgence, and I love treating myself to a few special extras. The NEST New York Madagascar Vanilla Perfume Oil is a warm, sweet fragrance that’s perfect for layering over my body oil—it’s like wrapping myself in a cozy blanket. For a little shimmer, the TOM FORD Soleil Neige Shimmering Body Oil adds a subtle glow to my skin, making me feel radiant and luxurious. After a long day, nothing beats a relaxing bath with the HigherDOSE Serotonin Soak—the magnesium bath salts melt away my stress and leave me feeling completely rejuvenated. For deeper relaxation and better sleep, the Saint Jane Beauty Deep Sleep Bath Salts are my goto. They calm my mind and body, making my bath time feel like a luxury retreat. For a daily pickmeup, I adore the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Cheirosa ’71 Hair & Body Fragrance Mist—its warm, caramelized vanilla scent is the perfect finishing touch. As a final treat, I often switch up my fragrances, and this fall, I’m obsessed with the Maison Margiela 'REPLICA' Autumn Vibes—it captures the essence of the season with its woody, spicy notes, making me feel like I’m wrapped in the warmth of autumn. For those who can’t get enough of vanilla, the KAYALI VANILLA | 28 Eau de Parfum is a must—it’s sweet, inviting, and perfect for cozy evenings. And when I want something bold and sultry, the TOM FORD Vanilla Sex Eau de Parfum is my scent of choice—it’s luxurious, rich, and perfect for special nights out. Lastly, the Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask adds a seasonal touch to my skincare routine. It’s like a pumpkin spice latte for my skin, giving me that extra glow and exfoliation I crave during the fall months.
This fall, my body care routine is all about embracing the warmth, nourishment, and subtle luxury that the season demands. From the invigorating scrubs in the shower to the indulgent body oils and rich creams postshower, each step ensures my skin stays soft, glowing, and protected against the autumn chill. Whether you’re looking to add a little shimmer, indulge in a relaxing soak, or keep your skin shielded from the sun’s rays, these products are my top picks for a fall routine that feels as good as it looks. After all, fall is the perfect time to indulge in a little extra care—and these luxurious body care products make every day feel like a treat.
Love,
Shweta!
