A Simple September Reset for Your Skin, Home, and Routine

For some reason it always seems September feels a little bit like a fresh start.

The weather is beginning to shift, schedules start changing, school is back in session for a lot of families, and the routines that worked all summer don’t always feel quite cutting it anymore.

Just because change is in the air, it doesn’t mean you need to completely overhaul your whole life. Sometimes a few small changes are enough to make the new season feel a little easier. 🍂

A few simple resets can make a huge difference when the seasons change.

Let’s Start With Our Skin

As temperatures drop and the air starts to get drier, your skin will start asking for a little bit more hydration. This is the perfect time to take a closer look at skincare you’re using and ask yourself whether your routine still feels like it’s doing what it promised it would. . If your skin starts to feel a bit tighter, drier, or just a little less comfortable than it did a month ago, adding hydration back in can make a ginormous difference.

If you’re looking for a quick easy solution, ABBI’s Essential Mist is one of those easy products to keep nearby because it helps refresh and comfort the skin throughout the day.

And right now, through September 7, ABBI is offering a complimentary Essential Mist with purchases of $75 or more. And if you’d just like to try the mist you can grab it for under $20. I do have a few in stock as well. This is also the perfect to time to update your Skin Skan if you haven’t in awhile.

Don’t Forget the Rest of Your Skin

Some times we forget that our skin doesn’t stop at our decolletage. Dry skin can happen all over our body.

As we move toward the inevitable cooler weather, body care starts becoming more important too. Exfoliating regularly can help remove dry, dull surface skin and leave your skin feeling and looking smoother. One easy way to add that into your routine is dry brushing. (sounds scary right? Trust me it’s not. And not owie either)

Hugh & Grace has a Dry Brush that makes this step simple, and it pairs nicely with body care afterward when your skin is ready for moisture. This doesn’t have to become some elaborate wellness ritual. It just takes a few minutes before your shower and can make a big difference.

Fall is the Perfect Time toGive Your Home a Small Fall Refresh

I am not suggesting you pull every closet apart and turn September into a full-house renovation project. Absolutely not. Let’s be honest if you’re anything like me when that happens I wind up overwhelmed, sitting in a pile of old clothes looking at random crap from 30 years and wearing a scarf and a floppy hat. Ok back on track.

Even without delving into all that you can still get a nice reset. Clear offa few surfaces that somehow collected everything. Tackle one cluttered drawer (not the junk drawer that’s like trying to do the closet). Wipe down the spaces you use most. Swap out a few things that make your home feel a little more comfortable for fall.

The last few weeks I’ve been using the Hugh & Grace household cleaner and I actually really like the scent. That alone makes cleaning slightly less offensive. Fewer chemicals and clean fresh scent (orange neroli and lemongrass) make for nice smelling home.

A New Season Doesn’t Require a New You

September definitely brings a different rhythm to our lives. So instead of trying to create some perfect new fall routine, look at things that are currently making life harder than it needs to be.

Simply start here.
