Beauty Crush Skincare Regimen
Cold weather doesn’t have to result in dry and dull-looking skin. In fact, you can unlock your skin’s natural glow this autumn with Beauty Crush Skincare, a sustainable beauty line that applies regenerative biotech to skincare products formulated using organic, vineyard-grown ingredients. This is the newest venture from Karen Behnke, the clean beauty pioneer behind Juice Beauty.
All Beauty Crush formulas contain SuperGlow grapes, which are Sagrantino grapes that are carefully cultivated in Karen’s Sonoma Organic Vineyard and clean crushed to preserve their nutrients. Sagrantino grapes contain up to 8.5 times higher antioxidant levels than conventionally farmed grapes, making them an excellent skincare active.
Other ingredients include a proprietary, bio-designed plant exosome engineered from rare Falanghina grape leaves (which are also grown and clean crushed in Karen’s vineyard) as well as biomimetic peptides that mimic vegan collagen.
To start your glow-up, pick up the full routine, which is comprised of: the SuperGlow Cleanser, the Triple Action ExoCellular Peptide Antioxidant Serum, and the Triple Action ExoCellular Glow Moisturizer.
In clinical trials, 100% of users said their skin looked and felt smoother while 97% saw a visible improvement in radiance when using this regimen. These are the best clinical results of Karen’s decades-long career, so you might say she’s crushing it with Beauty Crush!

Mad Hippie Wrinkle Relaxing Eye Treatment
The cold autumn air can cause our skin to become dry, thereby make aging signs appear more pronounced. To keep our complexion looking as plump and supple as possible, we want to give extra TLC to areas with thin, delicate skin like the eye region. The new Mad Hippie Wrinkle Relaxing Eye Treatment ($34.99 on MadHippie.com) works wonders to visibly soften fine lines while also brightening and revitalizing tired under eyes. The formula is gentle but effective, making it a great alternative to cosmetic procedures like Botox and to strong but potentially irritating retinol-based formulas.
The clean, multi-tasking formula contains two neuropeptides — Syn-Ake and Argirelene Amplified — that soften expression lines and creases, as well as Haloxyl, a peptide that helps to brighten dark circles. The formula also boats hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, polyglutamic acid, and niacinamide to hydrate, de-puff, smooth, and brighten the eye area.
In clinical studies, 97% of users saw a measured reduction in fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. Translation: this cream will have you seeing things with fresh eyes — literally!
Sunrider Sun & Bloom Floral Tea Blend Masala Chai
It’s peak cozy season, so we want to sip on a delicious beverage that makes us feel warm and fuzzy. To enjoy that hug-in-a-mug feeling and indulge your taste buds, pick up Sunrider’s Sun & Bloom Floral Tea Blend Masala Chai ($14.88 on Sunrider.com). Crafted with rooibos and aromatic spices of cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, and star anise, this caffeine-free tea is ideal for moments of relaxation and mindful pause.
Developed under the guidance of renowned herbalist Dr. Tei-Fu Chen, this antioxidant-rich tea contains ginger to support digestive comfort and botanicals like cardamom that support heart health. It also features rose petals that provide flavonoids while also adding a floral nuance to the flavor composition.
OLIPOP Caramel Apple Soda
Would a fall festival really be complete without some delicious caramel-dipped apples? I think not! Well, OLIPOP clearly agrees because, this autumn, it introduced a new limited-edition, seasonal flavor inspired by the classic fall treat. OLIPOP’s Caramel Apple flavor combines the tart snap of crisp green apple with the smooth richness of buttery caramel, transporting your taste buds to a bustling carnival with pumpkin patches, wagon rides, a giant Ferris wheel, an adorable petting zoo, a corn maze, and more. And, like all OLIPOP flavors, you can enjoy this delicious drink guilt-free!
OLIPOP is the feel-good soda that offers that classic soda taste while incorporating a functional ingredient blend that supports digestive health. An excellent source of fiber, each can of OLIPOP contains just 2-5 grams of sugar and only 35 to 50 calories. Caramel Apple, then, is the better-for-you drink this fall!
OLIPOP is available at retailers like Walmart, Target, Whole Foods and on drinkolipop.com
Barlean’s Wellness Supplements
When it’s cold out, our bodies focus on retaining warmth, which means our immune systems are weaker than usual and less capable of fighting off infections. Moreover, the dry autumn and winter air can draw moisture away from hair and skin, leaving both looking dry and dull. To look and feel our best this season, then, we want to give our bodies some extra support. Wellness brand Barlean’s offers premium natural supplements with which we can update our routines and safeguard our health and wellbeing.
The first step is, of course, to really hone in on core nutrition and immunity. Barlean’s offers a variety of emulsified liquid supplements that are easy to add into any routine and which eliminate the hassle of multiple capsules. Featuring a smooth and creamy texture, the Seriously Delicious Liquid Magnesium in Orange Crème ($24.99 on Barleans.com and Amazon) and high-potency Seriously Delicious Omega-3 in Mango Peach Smoothie drinks ($21.49 on Barleans.com and Amazon) help support heart, joint and skin health, plus you can take them straight or add them to oatmeal, yogurt, or a smoothie.
And, to fill any nutritional gaps, you can reach for the Tropical Liquid Multivitamin ($27.45 on Barleans.com and Amazon), which is packed with essential vitamins and minerals that support energy, immunity, as well as bone and skin health.
The second step is to improve our defensive strategy. If seasonal changes, travel, or busy fall days tend to leave your throat feeling a little scratchy, stock up on the Immune Support Throat Spray ($16.99 on Barleans.com and Amazon), an all-natural, throat-soothing spray in a travel-friendly size.
You can find Barlean’s at Costco, Walmart, Whole Foods Market, Natural Grocers, Sprouts, Sam’s Club, and on Barleans.com and Amazon
