Skincare rules for autumn? Protect the barrier, moisturize and nourish. Now is the time to use richer formulas to help skin transition from intense heat into colder, windier climates. Names you need? The Outset, co-founded by Scarlett Johansson, Noble Panacea, Drunk Elephant, but there’s also news from our forever favorite Dr. Barbara Sturm, since you’re asking.

Now that you have a tan it’s time you think about how to keep it. It’s also time to think about intensifying your makeup look, featuring a double layer of mascara, a bolder lip and a dash of fresh blush across the cheeks. At the top of our list: Kosas’ cult-favorite concealer, Westman Atelier Super Loaded Tinted Highlight and Milk Makeup’s Sculpt Stick to add a touch of seasonal glamor.

If you could bottle in Golden Autumn, what would it smell like? Ours would smell of Frédéric Malle’s intoxicating Portrait of a Lady, mixed with Fuggazi’s Goud, but we’ll also take Tom Ford’s deep and seductive take on vanilla or Ellis Brooklyn’s Myth. Whatever it is, it’s time to swap summery florals with deeper, woodier notes that will make sure you’ll remember this time of year forever.

It’s time to pull out the blankets and bring out the cozy atmosphere - be it by investing in new, muskier scented candles, or fresh hand soaps and lotions that not only smell great, but will also look good on the sink. Our favorites? Frama’s Scandinavian take on well-crafted minimalism and Commune, the British self-care brand that truly has it all.

Autumn is when you turn inwards and give your body an extra dose of TLC. Our tried-and-tested best-friends-forever? Mutha’s luxuriously nourishing body butter, The Nue Co.’s supplements (particularly the ones that systematically boost the immune system), Amika’s carefully crafted hair formulas to repair and strengthen and goop’s best-selling body brush for good measure (and a fresh start).
