THE FALL BEAUTY SWITCH: 5 Swaps to Make Before October
As temperatures change, our beauty routines should too. Today on NBC’s South Florida Live, we showcased five simple seasonal swaps for skin, makeup and hair—from hydrating complexion products and cream blush to fall's berry lips and easy ways to transition summer hair into cooler weather.
1) Out: Lightweight Body Lotion / In: Rich Body Lotions and Oils
eos Shea Better Body Lotion, $9.97, amazon.com
- Just like we swap our wardrobes for fall, we need to swap our skincare—think richer, longer-lasting hydration that protects against that seasonal dryness without feeling heavy.
- As the weather gets cooler and drier, swap your lighter summer lotion for something that delivers more lasting hydration.
- eos Shea Better Body Lotion provides 24-hour moisture while still feeling lightweight and non-greasy.
- It’s all about supporting the moisture barrier: The formula combines shea butter + shea oil to deeply nourish and help support the skin barrier, while glycerin draws water into the skin—a great combination when fall weather starts leaving skin feeling dry or tight.
- We want more moisture in fall, but nobody wants to feel sticky under sweaters and layers.
- Formula is fast-absorbing and non-greasy, so you get that richer seasonal hydration without the heaviness.
- Bonus: your lotion becomes part of your fall fragrance wardrobe: Scents like Vanilla Cashmere have notes of whipped vanilla, soft musk and caramel, so you're getting skincare and that cozy fall fragrance moment in one. You can also use the lotion as a base for fragrance layering to help amplify your scent.
2) Reset for your Hair: Chris McMillan’s Clarifying Shampoo
Chris McMillan The Clarifying Detox Shampoo Treatment, $38, sephora.com
- We talk about detoxing our skincare routine, but our hair needs a reset too—clarifying gets rid of all that invisible buildup so your hair can feel clean, light and bouncy again.
- After a summer of sweat, sunscreen, salt water, chlorine and styling products, fall is a great time to clarify and refresh your routine—almost like hitting reset before transitioning into more hydrating fall and winter haircare.
- Think of it as a reset button for your hair: Chris McMillan’s NEW clarifying shampoo helps remove the buildup from dry shampoo, styling products, oils and everyday residue that can leave hair looking dull, flat and weighed down.
- It brings back that clean, bouncy feeling: By clearing away excess buildup, it can help hair feel lighter, fresher and more voluminous—especially helpful if you’re someone who stretches time between washes or uses a lot of styling products.
3) JAMIE MAKEUP
- B.F.M.R Mist: Get rid of your makeup wipes, or messy cleansing balms and use Jamie Makeup B.F.M.R Mist to remove your makeup.
- Jamie Greenberg, celebrity makeup artist, just released a new and improved version of her viral makeup remover.
- You just spray and the soothing, silky, formula melts away makeup while leaving your skin feeling clean, calm, hydrated, and refreshed.
- It's precisely formulated with minimal ingredients to break down waterproof makeup, lip products, and SPF, while delivering good skincare benefits.
-You don't need a lip balm and a lip gloss this season. You just need a Bloss from Jamie Makeup.
- The glowy, moisturizing hybrid comes in four beautiful colors—Pink, Nude, Clear and Red—and also features a plumping version, Bloss +.
- The formula has Peppermint oil for a soothing effect as well as Shea Butter and Hyaluronic Acid which are super-hydrators, helping with real dry/cracked lips.
- Eye Schtick: Instead of buying an eye primer, eye shadow and brushes. Try using Jamie Makeup's Eye Schtick. This brush-free formula combines eye primer and eyeshadow in universally flattering shades. Each was created to look amazing on all skin types and eye shapes. The fluffy pom pom applicator effortlessly blends the shadow into the skin for a vibrant finish that lasts, and lasts, and lasts.
- It’s smudge-proof, crease-proof, non-drying, flake free, waterproof as well as blendable + buildable. This is "The Cinnamon One", which is a really pretty matte color.
4) For the Beauty Aficionados: LYMA

- For the ultimate beauty aficionado looking to restore her skin this season- the LYMA Laser is top of the line! **Been on my list for years!
- Clinic-grade power, at home: Laser PRO is the most powerful at-home laser on the market.
- Unlike LED-based devices that work more on the surface, the Laser PRO delivers true low-level laser technology to stimulate collagen, elastin, and cellular renewal at the deepest level, with zero downtime and is safe for all skin tones.
- Pro results, faster: With 3x the power of the original and a larger treatment head, Laser PRO treats bigger areas more efficiently, making professional-level skin regeneration realistic, consistent, and doable at home.
5) HAIR/SKIN SAVER: Silk Pillowcases
Bedsure Satin Pillowcases, $7.99, amazon.com
- Fall is when we naturally start swapping out our routines—wardrobes, skincare, bedding—so switching to silk is a small beauty upgrade that works while you sleep and makes your bed feel a little more luxurious.
- Simple overnight beauty swap that’s gentler on both your hair and skin
- Silk creates less friction than many traditional pillowcase fabrics, which can mean less tugging, tangling and frizz overnight—especially helpful as hair starts feeling drier in cooler weather.
- Helps preserve your nighttime skincare: Silk is generally less absorbent than cotton, so the idea is to keep more of your nighttime skincare on your face rather than on your pillowcase—perfect when you’re layering richer moisturizers and serums for fall.
- Wake up with smoother-looking hair: Less friction while you toss and turn can help protect your blowout and reduce that bedhead, creasing and frizz, making mornings a little easier.
