It’s shaping up to be a a very busy week ahead, following what was already a very, very busy weekend (which I’ll talk about in a couple of days since I still have a lot of photos to go through!) The election is Tuesday, as is Troy’s birthday – and he’s in town to try to celebrate amid the political chaos and to take care of some family stuff that came up unexpectedly. I have to head to Boston on Thursday night for a Bruins game I recently won tickets to – and I’m still working in excess of my usual hours at my office in preparation for some time off I have lined up next week so I can get a head start on the holiday season!
But before I dive into all of that, I wanted to take some time to share the new additions to my skin care/hair care routine for the current Fall season in what has been an ongoing series of posts throughout the year. I’ll include some photos and links for more information – and below I’ve linked to past installments over the years of ‘Coffee & Chiffon‘ for anyone who may want to see some products I’ve loved/used religiously depending on my complexion and curl needs at the time!
2020: [ WINTER ] [ SPRING ] [ SUMMER ] [ FALL ]
2021: [ WINTER ] [ SPRING ] [ SUMMER ] [ FALL ]
2022: [ WINTER ] [ SPRING ] [ SUMMER ] [ FALL ]
2023: [ WINTER ] [ SPRING ] [ SUMMER ] [ FALL ]
2024: [ WINTER ] [ SPRING ] [ SUMMER ]
I’m going to be condensing all of those down in early 2025. I promise!
For my skincare this season, I have been feverishly turning to products that are gentle and will provide me with substantial hydration and comfort on the drier, chillier days. We’re experiencing a severe drought here in New England (resulting in quite a few nearby brush fires!) and it can be felt in my face, hands, lips, etc. when I’m outside for any substantial period of time. I have to stay hydrated, absolutely – but I also need to use products with non-drying and nourishing ingredients to get me through this stage of the season until we start seeing more rain and snow!
- Daily Cleanser/Makeup Remover: OLAY Cleansing Melts [ $9.99 – MORE INFO ]
- Daily Moisturizer: OLEHENRIKSEN Banana Bright Instant Glow [ $52 – MORE INFO ]
- Weekly Hydration Mask: Mi-el Skincare’s Honey-Infused Mask [ $45 – MORE INFO ]
For my hair care collection for the Fall, similar goals to my skincare were sought throughout these past couple of months – especially since colder and more dry climates can cause significant breakage and frizz. I began utilizing more hydrating masks, daily leave-in conditioners and air-dry creams to help keep my curls healthy, shiny and smooth – as well as to keep those “hide it in a hat” days at a minimum!
- Weekly Hydration Mask: Drunk Elephant Silkamino Mega-Moisturizing Masker [ $30 – MORE INFO ]
- Leave-In Conditioning Spray: Odele Beauty Leave-In [ $11.99 – MORE INFO ]
- Styling Cream: Odele Beauty Air Dry Styler [ $11.99 – MORE INFO ]
And with that, the last installment of my skincare/hair care of 2024 comes to a close! I know that by Winter, the harshest of times here in the Northeast, I’m going to need a lot more conditioning and soothing products in my regimen – so if anyone has any recommendations before we get to that point – feel free to drop me a line of leave a comment!
Until next time!
