Fall Favorites - Creating a Capsule Collection
Happy Fall, ladies! Temperatures are dropping, heaters are on, and our skin often becomes dehydrated and irritated. The most important pieces of a fall capsule collection are products that maintain both hydration and moisture. A lack of moisture in the air will cause your skin barrier to be compromised. Exfoliation is important to maintain, but at a minimum so we are careful not to strip the natural oils needed for moisture retention.
A skincare capsule collection is an edited lineup of essential products tailored to a climate, lifestyle, and budget. It includes everything you need and nothing you don't. The idea is to streamline your routine to deliver the most essential ingredients to your skin in as few steps as possible. Storied Beauty would love to help you create your collection.
Products to Consider for Your Fall Capsule Collection. Keep it simple, but include the essentials: Cleanser, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Eye Cream, Moisturizer, and Sunscreen
- A creamy and moisturizing cleanser. Examples are Environ Cleansing Lotion and Mandarin Cleansing Milk.
- A moisturizing Vitamin C product. Examples are Mela Even Cream, Vitamin C Ampoules, and Defence Cream.
