Fall Skin Care Must-Haves

Originally published as Fall Skin Care Must-Haves from the Mario Badescu Skin Care Blog.

If that lovely chill in the air tells us anything, it’s that FALL is definitely on its way. I can’t be the only one who’s excited for sweaters and apple cider and pumpkin-spice everything.

As I change out my wardrobe, I need to do the same with my skin care regimen. It’s time to switch to gentler, more hydrating products suitable for colder, drier air. Don’t forget how dehydrating indoor heating can be, too!

For me, fall skin care means switching from our Enzyme Cleansing Gel to the Seaweed Cleansing Soap. My toner and moisturizer need to change, too.

Here is our full list of fall skin care must-haves. From super-hydrating anti-aging serums to gentle cleansers and a fan-favorite hand cream, it has something for everyone. Get ready for fall with us.

Would You Ever? Put Bee Venom On Your Face

Originally published as Would You Ever? Put Bee Venom On Your Face from the Mario Badescu Skin Care Blog.

The idea behind a bee venom treatment is that it’s meant to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, thereby firming up skin and reducing the look of sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles. It does this by tricking the skin into believing it has been stung, thereby sending blood to the skin and stimulating collagen and elastin.

Would you try this?

If you like the idea of incorporating honey and other bee-related ingredients into your skin care, you’re not alone. In fact, bee pollen extract, honey, and beeswax are hydrating, anti-bacterial, and super skin-softening.

One popular choice is the Bee Pollen Night Cream, which includes all of the above: bee pollen extract, honey extract, and beeswax. Perfect for fall, too, as temps start to drop.

Redness After Waxing

Originally published as Redness After Waxing from the Mario Badescu Skin Care Blog.

Sometimes when you get your face waxed, it gets a little red, right? You might even have to cover up the redness with some foundation, and sometimes the irritation turns bumpy.

First of all, to avoid redness after waxing, make sure that the person waxing your face is doing it properly: they should be holding the skin taut around the wax before pulling it off. This should make waxing less painful and less likely to cause irritation.

If you’re interested in a post-wax treatment you can quickly do at home, we recommend a mask. Specifically, the Calma Mask, which is oil-free* but still very hydrating and calming.

Here’s another way to calm skin after waxing: Use a compress soaked with Chamomile Cleansing Lotion for a minute or so before applying the mask. A dusting of Special Healing Powder after the mask is removed is also advisable for those of you who experience a lot of irritation.

Shop This Story:

*Note: This mask is not intended to be used around the eyes. The upper lip, sideburns, above the eyebrow, and anywhere else you wax your face are all fair game, though!
