Labor Day is here! Prepare for the change of seasons with our Seasonal Plant-Based Skincare Guide.

As summer turns to fall, and you prepare for the change of seasons, your skincare routine should transition to meet the changing needs of your skin. Fall brings cooler temperatures and lower humidity, which can lead to dryness, dullness, and irritation. But don't worry—nature has the perfect remedies! In this guide, we’ll explore how to nourish and protect your skin using plant-based ingredients like turmeric, aloe vera, manuka oil, coconut oil, and the mystical dragon’s blood.

1. Turmeric: The Brightening Wonder

Why It’s Perfect for Fall: Turmeric is renowned for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, making it a fantastic addition to your fall skincare routine. As your skin adjusts to the cooler weather, turmeric helps to reduce any redness or irritation that may arise. Its brightening effects also combat the dullness that often accompanies the fall season.
How to Use: Moisturize your body with Blumenes Natural Relief Creams, look for facial serums or masks that contain turmeric, or even try a DIY turmeric mask to give your skin that golden glow. Regular use can help even out your skin tone and keep it radiant as the days grow shorter.

2. Aloe Vera: The Ultimate Soother

Why It’s Perfect for Fall: Aloe vera is a hydration hero, helping to soothe and calm the skin while providing a light layer of moisture. As you step out into the crisp, cool air, aloe vera acts as a protective shield, reducing any irritation or tightness caused by the drop in temperature.
How to Use: Incorporate aloe vera into your routine with any Blumenes relief creams, or a gentle aloe facial cleanser or a hydrating gel. It’s especially useful for those with sensitive skin, offering comfort and hydration without clogging pores.

3. Manuka Oil: Nature’s Antimicrobial Protector

Why It’s Perfect for Fall: Manuka oil is a powerful antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory ingredient that can help ward off acne and other skin infections, which can flare up as your skin adapts to the season. It also supports skin healing, making it ideal for repairing any summer sun damage.
How to Use: A few drops of manuka oil added to your moisturizer or used as a spot treatment can work wonders. Its natural healing properties ensure your skin stays clear and calm, even in the changing weather. *Manuka Oil is also found in all Blumenes relief cream formulas.

4. Coconut Oil: The Deep Hydrator

Why It’s Perfect for Fall: Coconut oil is a rich, emollient ingredient that provides deep hydration, which is essential as your skin starts to lose moisture in the fall. It creates a barrier on the skin, locking in hydration and keeping it soft and supple.
How to Use: Use Blumenes relief creams on your body, or pure coconut oil on your face as an overnight moisturizer or after a warm bath. Its nourishing properties also make it an excellent choice for areas prone to dryness, like elbows, knees, and hands.

5. Dragon’s Blood: The Healing Shield

Why It’s Perfect for Fall: Dragon’s blood, derived from the sap of the Croton Lechleri tree, is known for its protective and healing properties. It forms a protective film on the skin, which helps to lock in moisture and shield your skin from environmental stressors. This is particularly important as the cooler air can make your skin more vulnerable.
How to Use: Look for body creams such as Blumenes Natural Relief Creams or facial serums that are infused with dragon’s blood to strengthen your skin’s barrier. Its rejuvenating properties also make it a great addition to your evening routine, helping your skin recover overnight.

Curating Your Fall Skincare Routine

Cleanse Gently: Start with a mild cleanser containing aloe vera to cleanse without stripping your skin of its natural oils.
Treat and Protect: Apply a serum with turmeric or manuka oil to target specific concerns like uneven skin tone or breakouts.
Moisturize Deeply: Follow up with a body cream such as Blumenes Ultra-Hydrating Hemp Cream, or a facial moisturizer rich in coconut oil to lock in hydration and keep your skin smooth. *Apply Blumenes only to your body.
Shield and Heal: Use a cream with dragon’s blood as the final step in your routine, particularly at night, to protect and repair your skin while you sleep.
Weekly Mask: Incorporate a turmeric-based mask once a week to keep your skin bright and balanced.

As you prepare to go back to school, or the change of seasons this Labor Day Weekend, don’t forget to give your skin the care it deserves. By embracing these plant-based ingredients, you’ll keep your skin glowing and healthy all season long. So go ahead, fall into a routine that not only nourishes your skin but also connects you with the healing power of nature.
