If summer fun has left your skin and hair a little less than glorious, fear not. Getting back on track is easier than you think…and you probably already own everything you need to make it happen. From hair to skin, head to toe, these four simple tricks will revamp your autumn routine in no time.
Tip #1 Repair Damaged Hair While You Sleep – You’re probably thinking, “Did I read that right? While I sleep?” Yes, you most certainly did. While sun and salt water can leave hair brittle and lifeless, repairing the damage is simpler (and less expensive) than you think. 100% Coconut Oil works wonders as a deep conditioning treatment. Simply melt it between your palms and then run your fingers through your hair at bedtime. In the morning, shampoo as usual and get ready for softer, silkier locks. Bonus points you will also have baby soft hands.
Tip #2 Fade Your Waning Tan DIY-Style – As much as you’d probably like to hang on to that vacation glow, a fading tan often looks dirty (or just plain sad). Whip up a quick sugar scrub with your favorite oil to smooth your skin, slough off the flakes, and give your arms and legs the pampering they crave.
Tip #3 Enjoy a Multitasking Massage – Summer skin can feel dry and rough, but 100% Coconut Oil can restore its luster. Simply massage your face in small, gentle circles to remove makeup, sunscreen, and trapped dirt and debris. The massage will improve your skin’s circulation while making your face baby soft.
Tip #4 Pamper and Protect Your Hands and Feet (and shoulders, elbows, knees, etc.) – If you live in an area where sunny days have become blustery and cool, then changing both your facial and body moisturizers becomes necessary. Switching to a slightly heavier cream will help prevent moisture loss by keeping it sealed in and safeguarded from the wind. Tip: Keep a lip balm or a 100% Cocoa Butter Stick in your purse or desk drawer to pamper rough patches and soften fragile cuticles on the go.
