The Glow Getters for Beauty-Fall Skin
🍂 Happy and Healthy Fall, Y'All! 😀
With the Autumn leaves falling and the Fall breezes blowing, it may be time to add in an extra vitamin or two to our daily routine.
Updating our skincare routine from Summer to Autumn is just as important (and fun!) as bringing out our favorite Fall sweaters.
This month we're celebrating our family of botanical face masks. And no... we're not talking about the spooky kind of masks. There are no hidden ingredients and no ghosts in here! 👻
There are both body and mind benefits of adding a facial mask, just one or two times a week, to our self-care routine.
This can make the difference between decent skin... and divine skin. 😍

Now... let's get to it! Read on for three healthy tips and skin benefits that happen when we add a facial mask to our daily routine. And... there's a delicious body and skin-loving seasonal soup recipe ~ yum! 😋👇
We're delicate beings, and so is our skin. Our skin relies on us 100% to care for it.
With just a few minutes morning and night, we can seamlessly step into Fall with our best foot forward and a healthy glow to go along with it.
🍂 Autumn Skincare Tip 🍂
Remember to hydrate both inside and out. And hey... drinking that pumpkin spice seasonal drink doesn't count as hydrating either. 🎃 😉
You know how when we have a bad cold, or we get dehydrated, and our lips let us know? They seem to get chapped and dry before anything else. Well, that's just one of the jobs of our skin. It does such a great job of telling us when there's an issue with our gut, or when we're dehydrated. Rashes and sensitivities (and breakouts!) can pop up. Dehydrated skin can feel dry and look tired. A hydrated body can help our skin restore its elasticity and vibrance.
Water is our greatest friend, and adding a sprinkling of an herb, a piece of fruit, a little lemon, or anything natural and tasty can help us drink more with an added flare of fun. I personally do this every day, and some of my favorites are fresh peppermint, thyme, basil, hibiscus leaves, lime, and lemon... alone or even all together. 😋
On the outside, a quick tip for a fast hydration is a mist of one of our botanical toners, like the Hydrating or Restoring toners. On a fresh face, and even over makeup, just one or two mists is lovely either way.
🍂 Autumn Skincare Tip 🍂
Remember to exfoliate. We hear it over and over from you... it's the step that's missed the most. It's either not done on purpose, or it's forgotten completely.
Even the most delicate and sensitive of complexions can benefit from the right exfoliant. Both the physical exfoliation from the botanicals, as well as the 'chemical' exfoliation from the natural enzymes in the plant actives, work together to soften, nudge our collagen, and allow our toners and serums to penetrate.
Two of our masks that are a part of this special offer delicate exfoliation as well ... our Honey Cream Mask with Manuka, and the Green Tea Mask with Raw Cacao. They're different than our family of exfoliants, and their light exfoliation is also softening and worthwhile.
And did we tell you about how we love to mix our herbal exfoliants with our two dry masks, the Green Tea Mask and Antioxidant Mask with Cranberry?! Well... we absolutely love to do this. Imagine two stellar facial treatments coming together to kiss the complexion and senses at the same time. It's truly scrumptious! 😍
🍂 Autumn Skincare Tip 🍂
Layer it up! We pull on a light jacket or sweater over a t-shirt or blouse... it's that time of year. For our skin, it's that time of year ~ every day.
In any season, keeping a layer of protection on our complexion is important, and it doesn't matter whether or not we're wearing makeup.
Staying in or going out, when we add a mist or two of toner before adding those few drops of our day serum, it's enough to protect our complexion from the outdoor and inside elements. The optional vitamin serum boosts are great to sandwich in between the toner and day serum, and our new, natural 30 SPF sunscreen is perfect for every day in every season. 🌱 ☀️ 🍂 ❄️
A light layer of our clean formulas can protect our skin from losing its moisture and protective barrier. Dust, hot or cold air, and even the lights from our screens or in our home can be sensitizing or moisture-zapping to our skin.
It's Autumn and it's getting cooler. When we turn up the heat inside, the moisture gets removed in the air. This can affect our skin by pulling the moisture right out of it. Creating a moisture barrier is the key, and it keeps our complexion comfortable and resilient. 😘
🍂 Autumn Skincare Tip 🍂
Here's the bonus... adding that mask just one or two times a week does wonders for the strength and vitality of our skin.
When we add this step in addition to our regular Skin Suite routine, we often say it's the difference between decent skin, and divine skin.
As a fun (delicious!) comparison, let's take a homemade soup. This is the time of year we can bring out our favorite Fall recipes. If you're making a squash soup, it can be delicious with just that one ingredient. Yes, we love a simple soup!
Then, if we take that soup and add in a touch of sautéed onions or shallots, some extra virgin olive oil, fresh rosemary, sage, and ginger in with some vegetable broth, you have a souped-up soup! You've just boosted your soup with added vitamins and nutrients with the additional amazing ingredients.
It's kind of silly comparison, but this souped-up soup is similar to using our Skin Suites with the addition of a mask one to three times per week. We're adding in the extra nourishment, vitamins, actives, and antioxidants when we make those few extra minutes of 'me-time' in a mask. The routine of one of our Skin Suites, or in this example, the squash 😉, is truly wonderful on its own. Then when we add in those few extras, we have a well rounded soup, or a well rounded skin care routine. Fun!
Our system and health thrives on a variety of organic and natural nutrients and foods.
And yes, so does our skin.
It's Petite Qēt (Yes, Qēt rhymes with 'petite.')

Feel Good Hormones
We're just like you. In addition to having skin, (wink, wink) another thing that we have in common is the amount of time we have. As a busy wife, mom, sister, auntie, and business owner, sometimes there's just too much "to-do-list" at the end of the day.
Scheduling that oh-so-important "me time" IS important, and it doesn't have to take a lot of time out of the day. In fact, taking that 'me time' can often make us more productive.
Those happy hormones, when we do activities that elevate our happy endorphins... exercising, listening to music, watching something funny that makes us laugh out loud, and yes, giving back to ourselves... it creates serotonin and dopamine. These are two 'feel good' hormones, and we love these kinds of hormones! With each happy routine we have, our feel good hormones get boosted which, in turn, can lessen anxiety and decrease any "off" days. This is also shown to improve our skin. Another bonus!
🌟 Those happy moments, positive feelings, and life-affirming moments are like a healthy balm for our mind and body ~ and healthy, happy balm. They can be both soothing and comforting to us and our skin.
Let us know if there's anything we can help with, or if we can point you in the right direction.
Thank you for being here, and thank you for helping us share our clean and safe treatments... it just makes sense for all of us. 🌳 🌊 🏔 🐰 🌎

Rosacea, hormonal and adult acne, sensitive skin, thyroid swings, inflammation and redness like crazy, and wrinkles and acne at the same time (how does that even happen?!). On the right... my skin in my late 50s. It's the struggles and journeys like these that make us smarter about our choices and our overall health.
