FIVE FALL
SELF-CARE TIPS
A
utumn is here, serving
magenta leaves and brisk
air. This fall, take a moment
to consider how you can tweak
your self care regimen. Christina
King-Rogers of B.O. Essentials
and Tishana Brown of Relaxation
on the Go offer expert preparation
advice for whatever fall brings to the
table.
1. Recharge Your Morning Routine
Your skin changes each season,
becoming drier in the fall. “Shea
butters are a must have. My go-to is
the rose and geranium body butter,”
said Rogers.
“Set the tone for your day by
affirming your intent in the morning,
and speak it in the present tense,
health and wellness are lifestyle
choices,” said Brown.
2. Set A Schedule
Consider setting a self care schedule
for your health and beauty. “You
should schedule facials every 6-8
weeks and exfoliate 2-3 times a
week with an oil-based scrub this
fall.” Rogers recommends.
Take time and allow your body to
re-assess organically.
THE LEAVES AREN'T THE ONLY
THING THAT SHOULD CHANGE
THIS SEASON. GET READY TO
REVITALIZE YOUR
REGIMEN!

“At minimum, people should get
massages once a month. Headaches
can be treated naturally with an
Indian head massage if you are
consistent enough with your visits,”
explained Brown.
3. Reset Your Body
Brown recommends recharging
your mental battery with a massage.
“Regular Massages help your
posture while you do all that sitting at
work,” said Brown.
Massages help mediate insomnia,
anxiety, headaches and fibromyalgia.
Invest time into learning what your
body needs through massage this
fall.
4. Protect Those Lips
After a long day in the elements,
your lips are one of the most
exposed parts on your body.
“Your pores are open after work, so
exfoliate your lips then rinse with
cool water. Cool water closes pores
and stops dirt, blemishes and dark
spots,” added Rogers.
Prep your pout for the winter with a
nightly exfoliation routine.
5. Check Your Diet
Skin care and health care go hand
and hand. “If your skin is changing,
it might not always be the weather. It
can be your diet” Rogers suggests.
“Find a product that works for you
but your consumption and the
amount of water you drink can
affect you too.”
Don’t fall behind this season.
