Easy Fall Tips for Face, Hair & Nails

by Katie Wallace | Updated: September 21, 2018

Does your beauty routine change from season to season? In fall, I usually need to apply a bit more moisturizer to my hands and face. I also enjoy wearing bolder colors. I often pick out a few new accessories and stock up on my essential cold weather beauty products. Here are some of my daily care tips for taking care of my face, hair and nails.

Fabulous Fall Tips for Face, Hair & Nails

Natural Color & Shine-Free Face

After the hot weather of summer it’s nice to experience the refreshing coolness of fall. Colder weather however often means dryer air, so it’s important to take care of your skin accordingly. Lately I’ve been using my regular gentle moisturizer and limiting excessive makeup. Natural mineral makeup is a great way to achieve a refreshed look. Mineral Hygienics foundation is a lightweight mineral powder that goes on smoothly and helps hide blemishes without causing breakouts. The foundation powder also helps minimize oily skin and doesn’t become cakey.

Natural Color & Shine-Free Face

For my makeup routine, I generally wash my face, apply a light moisturizer, allow it to dry and then brush on a light layer of Mineral Hygienics foundation. The mineral powder is easy to layer and you can even add contour by combining subtle shades that match your skin color.

I also use the Mineral Hygienics finishing powder which acts to reduce shine. I brush on a light layer as the final step of my makeup routine and it keeps my combination skin shine-free throughout the day. In addition to foundation and finishing powder, Mineral Hygenics also offers high quality make-up brushes for smooth application as well as bronzer, blush, concealer and eye shadows. All products are made using natural formulas that use the fewest number of ingredients in exactly the right combinations for effective results. If you love wearing makeup and appreciate natural products I’d definitely recommend checking out this mineral makeup brand.

Healthy & Shiny Hair

The changing seasons can also be hard on your hair. This summer my hair was sun-bleached and exposed to chlorine and lake water. Colder weather can make hair dry and frizzy with static electricity. I like to keep my hair shiny in all seasons by using high quality conditioner with ingredients such as coconut and tea tree. I also sometimes give my hair a vinegar rinse to keep my locks shiny. To make a vinegar hair rinse, I mix together 1/2 cup water with 1/2 cup white vinegar. It’s easy to keep a bottle of vinegar in your bathroom and quickly make a vinegar rinse in a cup to use in the shower. Make sure to keep your eyes squeezed tightly shut while you are pouring on the vinegar and rinsing it out.

Photo-Perfect Natural Nails

After finishing up some gardening and yard projects this summer, I started regularly painting my fingernails and caring for my cuticles. I like using warm pink nail polishes as well as muted aquas and cool purples. Really, just alternating my nail polish color is fun! To maintain my healthy nails, I regularly use naturally formulated lotion on my hands and rub coconut oil into my cuticles. I keep my fingernails trimmed to a medium-short practical length. I also go through my nail polish often and throw away any old dried-out polish to make way for new 3-free nail polish colors.

Fall is a great time to get organized and give your skin, hair and nails a little TLC.

This is a great guide, Katie, as the temperatures cool, the skin does need more care. I love that tip about coconut oil for the cuticles, definitely trying that. My nails aren’t as strong as they used to be.

I’ve never heard of a vinegar rinse but it sounds good. I wonder what properties in the vinegar make it work?

Coming to terms with the past, and pressing forwar Coming to terms with the past, and pressing forward with grace, that’s all any of us can do.Lately, I’ve been asking myself some hard questions… especially when it comes to homeschooling.Here’s the truth:I can’t keep homeschooling the way I’ve been doing it.I’m not a teacher in the traditional sense, and I don’t love teaching. That’s not why we chose this path.The real reason we homeschool is because we want our kids to have freedom.🌟 Freedom to learn how to learn🩵 Freedom to discover what they love😀 Freedom to grow in diligence and live out their faith boldlyBut as I wrestle with our present, I’ve also had to face my past.I was homeschooled, too.There were a lot of blessings in that, but also some challenges. I grew up in a conservative environment where the focus was often on sheltering kids. And while I know that came from a place of love, it was hard. Especially as a teenager trying to figure out what I believed for myself.In our family’s younger years, our homeschool rhythm has been pretty relaxed, mostly workbooks and flexible days. But moving forward, things are going to look different.Here’s what I do know about the road ahead (and I’ll share more in upcoming reels):— We’re still homeschooling… just reimagining it.— We’re asking the Holy Spirit to lead our family.— Our kids know the Gospel, and that’s our foundation.— We want to live with intention and boldness.— We’re giving our kids space to try new things while they’re still at home.— I’m praying for a gracious heart when the questions come (because they will come).Maybe this resonates with you. Maybe you’ve felt that tension too, between what you grew up with and what you want to build now.If so, you’re not alone. 🫶🌟(continued in the comments)Follow our journey!

Safety is a top priority when traveling with kids! Safety is a top priority when traveling with kids! 🌎🌟 We’ve learned a lot through our experiences. For example, when arranging a ride to the airport in Cancun, we followed these guidelines ⬇️1. We hired a driver through a company that had good reviews. This gave us peace of mind when traveling 4 hours across Mexico ☀️2. We told friends/family about our travel plans including when we left Merida and when we arrived in Cancun. This gave us some accountability 😃3. Finally, we trusted our instincts. We are continually growing in our travel knowledge and intuition. We often know when an arrangement needs to be changed. Often, we meet very friendly and interesting people!➡️ Would you take your kids on an adventure in Mexico? We had a very positive and memorable experience!! 🌴🌟 Inspiring families to live creatively and make memories, through adventures 🌎🩵➡️ follow along! @createplaytravel#createplaytravel #homeschoolfamily #travelwithkids #adventurefamily #worldschooling #kidswhotravel
