Fall doesn’t just mean clearing out your closet to make way for chunky sweaters and knee-high boots, your skin goes through a seasonal transition as well. During the colder months I tend to find that my skin and hair becomes dryer and more fragile. Prepare skin for harsh temperatures by bathing with an oil based wash like Bath & Body Works’ Sugar Scrubs. They’re so good you don’t even need to moisturize afterwards. For midday moisture, slather on a sweet smelling body butters like Vaseline’s Cocoa Butter Body Butter, Carol’s Daughter’s Jamaican Punch Shea Souffle or the Mediterranean Almond, Pistachio & Milk Body Butter by Boots. Not only do they smell yummy, but they prevent “ash attacks.” For night time protection (especially if I’m going out and showing some skin) I LOVE Johnson & Johnson’s Oil Gel in Chamomile. This stuff keeps you silky smooth for days! Lastly, your face and hair will need extra love and care since they are the most exposed parts of your body. Try spending a bit more money here on products that contain herbal and plant extracts known as “Phytos.” Phytokarite Hair Treatment Mask with Shea Butter (for Ultra Dry Hair) is a great deep conditioner for natural or relaxed hair. Also try Artdeco’s Phyto Science Advanced Phyto Cream for your face. If you’re rolling in disposable income may I suggest Crème De La Mer’s products. Notoriously expansive, this product claims to be “the miracle” of all creams. I say send me a sample and let me be the judge!
Use face creams on your hands. Since your hands are always exposed they need as much love as your face. Anti-aging face creams are also great for your hands.

My face would frequently break out and I would find myself going to have facials to try to keep the outbreaks to a minimum. A friend introduced me Monavie, an all natural fruit juice that contains the acai berry, probably nature's highest antioxidant. Also the acai’s phytosterols help reduce the
erosion of the skin’s protective coating. The acai also helps protect connective tissues, including
collagen. My skin has never looked better and my wife tells me it actually has a glow to it. Learn more about it at: www.mymonavie.com/gregandaurorarichard or garmonavie@aol.com
