Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate!
"Retinol is for cell renewal, resulting in more youthful skin." - Miriam Gee
Summer brings hot and humid weather, which may result in excess sebum production. This increased oil, sweat and dead skin may leave our skin congested so a deep exfoliation is key as we transition to fall.
Retinol, a powerful antioxidant with an exfoliating effect, is a fall skincare staple for me. The colder months are a good opportunity to introduce retinol into your skincare routine because it increases your skin's sensitivity to sunlight, so it should be used sparingly in the summer. Retinol, also known as Vitamin A, promotes cell turnover + enhances collagen production and is best used for scarring, pigmentation, uneven texture, wrinkles + brightening.
Currently I am loving Dr. Sebagh's Retinol Night Repair. It is an overnight super-serum with 0.3% retinol combined with moisturizing oils and humectants—including rosehip oil, Vitamin E, coconut oil, olive oil and squalene, making it more gentle on the skin. It helps restore, reinforce and protect the essential integrity of the skin barrier. Make sure you always protect your skin with SPF daily - even in the colder months and especially while using retinol!
"Dr. Barbara Sturm's Enzyme Cleanser is key for exfoliation." - Miriam Gee
Dr. Sturm's Enzyme Cleanser is a two-in-one cleansing foam and exfoliator, particularly ideal for oily and combination skin. The fine-grained powder transforms into a soft foam once water is added, providing a deep, yet gentle cleansing. A collection of enzymes work together to peel away dry and rough skin, remove makeup, and reduce excess sebum from pores. The skin will appear revitalized and smooth instantly after cleansing.

Take Your Skin Hydration To The Next Level
"Vintner's Daughter Active Botanical Serum is a facial oil that is deeply nourishing." - Miriam Gee
The fluctuating temperature + humidity levels in the summer can really do a number on our skin. Adding a facial oil into your fall skincare regimen can work wonders for rebalancing your epidermis, controlling oil production and soothing the skin. It keeps water from escaping your skin and seals in the active ingredients in your skincare regimen, so that your skin is hydrated and healthy. It also helps to restore moisture and gives a radiant, youthful glow, which makes it great for aging skin.
Vintner's Daughter Active Botanical Serum is a luxurious face oil, formulated with 22 of the world’s most nutrient-rich botanicals for nourishing and restorative moisture. This potent concentration delivers 60+ restorative nutrients including restorative phytoceramides and phytonutrients, balancing minerals, brightening vitamins, free-radical fighting antioxidants, moisturizing fatty acids and nourishing omegas 3,6,7 and 9 to revitalize, soothe, and support a healthy radiance.
"Ice Ceramide Moisturizing Cream is a richer face cream which is like a moisture magnet." - Miriam Gee
ICE Ceramide Moisturizing Cream is a pro-ceramide moisturizer that strengthens the natural moisture barrier against environmental stressors responsible for premature aging. Skin stays smooth, balanced and age-less looking throughout the day.
Rich but lightweight, this dual action moisturizer uses beetroot and coconut extract to pull hydration into the skin, while ceramides, vitamin F, and pomegranate sterols strengthen the skin's natural moisture barrier, sealing in moisture. Together, skin is glowing, baby-smooth, and deeply hydrated.
