Fall Forward
I have always loved fall—the leaves are changing, the air is crisp, and you get to do things like apple picking that make you feel like you’re living in a movie. To complete the cinematic vibe, you’re getting a skin-care routine that’s all about brighter, more radiant complexions, from an innovative Olay cleanser and dark-spot-fading OleHenriksen toner to a skin-cooling Belif eye gel. Top off your fresh-faced look with dewy lips and treat your hair to a detoxifying sugar scrub that smells minty and feels heavenly. Here’s to new beginnings, healthy hair, and gleaming skin.

OLEHENRIKSEN GLOW2OH 7% AHA EXFOLIATING
DARK SPOT TONER - Full Size
Why you’ll love it: Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) are some of the most recommended and reliable exfoliating ingredients in skin care, thanks to their brightening and line-smoothing abilities. In this toner, two AHA—glycolic and lactic acids—are paired with reviving licorice extract and hydrating glycerine for a dark-spot-fading, glow inducing formula. “I test all sorts of exfoliators for work, but return to this little blue bottle time and time again,” says Dall’Asen, who uses the treatment once or twice a week.
How you’ll use it: Pour a few drops onto a cotton ball, and smooth it over clean, dry skin before bed. (Test a small amount on your forearm first, and use sunscreen during the day, even though you’re applying the toner at night.)
FLORENCE BY MILLS GLOW YEAH HYDRATING LIP OIL, TINTED GLOW YEAH LIP OIL, OR HIT SNOOZE LIP MASK - Full Size
Why you’ll love it: The lip oils’ subtle rosy tints (they’ve both got ’em) and hydrating mango butter make lips look juicy and fresh. The jelly mask’s bouncy texture and pretty berry sheen make it more fun than the usual lip mask, while its formula is especially hydrating.
How you’ll use it: For softer, dewy lips, smooth on the oil anytime, or use the mask before bed or for about 15 minutes during the day.
SKIN & CO SICILIAN LIGHT SERUM - Full Size
Why you’ll love it: Sometimes you want a five-step layering routine. Sometimes you’re lucky to get out the door with moisturizer on. Whether you’re in the mood to indulge or need to move things along quickly, this multitasker gets the job done. It’s jam-packed with the good stuff—brightening, antioxidant vitamin C; hydrating hyaluronic acid, and squalane so it’s perfect for streamlining your routine and it layers well. The gel cream absorbs quickly and makes skin feel noticeably softer.
How you’ll use it: Apply two or three pumps and top with sunscreen.
CUROLOGY THE CLEANSER - Full Size
Why you’ll love it: Cozy and elegant in its simplicity, this facial cleanser’s creamy gel formula feels comforting (not drying). It foams quickly and washes away easily, leaving behind a softer complexion. It’s made extra coddling by hydrating glycerin and soothing oat extract, doesn’t have any discernible scent, and is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive ones.
How you’ll use it: Massage a little onto damp skin, rinse, and pat dry.
