It’s officially fall, so it’s the perfect opportunity to update our beauty routines to correspond with the changing weather, revel in rich and indulgent autumnal scents and flavors, and fully embrace the season’s cozy vibes. Today on Denver7’s “Mile High Living,” I shared some great beauty and lifestyle finds to kickstart the autumn season.

Osmosis Apple Spice Warming Enzyme Mask
Exfoliation should always be part of your skincare routine, but particularly come autumn and winter. See, cold temperatures, low humidity, indoor heating, and hot showers can all slow down the skin’s natural shedding process, resulting in a build-up of dead skin cells that leaves skin looking dull and fatigued. Moreover, this build-up can prevent any hydrating and anti-aging products from truly penetrating skin and delivering the desired results. To slough away dead skin cells and restore skin’s radiance, reach for the latest skincare treatment from holistic skincare brand Osmosis Beauty, which was developed by Dr. Ben Johnson, MD.
Designed for use once a week, the new Osmosis Apple Spice Warming Enzyme Mask ($60 on OsmosisBeauty.com) gently exfoliates skin with lactic and gluconic acids, revealing a brighter complexion while also refining pores and improving skin’s texture. The radiance-boosting mask also contains antioxidant-rich apple stem cell extract to defend skin against environmental aggressors and neem leaf extract to decongest pores, clarify and balance skin.
To use, simply apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin and wait 5 to 15 minutes, then rinse off. During your treatment, you’ll revel in the comforting warmth of the formula and the delightful autumnal scent (thanks to the combination of apple, nutmeg, cinnamon, clove extracts). Once you rinse off, you’ll notice your complexion looks and feels revitalized!
Olay Super Routine
A new season marks the perfect time to establish a new and improved body care routine that revitalize and brighten the skin below the neck. I recommend Olay’s Super Routine, which delivers five visible skin benefits: hydrating, firming, smoothing, brightening, and evening skin tone.
Start your routine in the shower with the Olay Super Serum Body Wash, which deeply cleanses while infusing skin with lasting hydration. It features a concentrated serum complex comprised of dermatologist-approved, time-tested ingredients like niacinamide, beta-hydroxy acid, collagen peptides, and vitamins C and E. Moreover, thanks to Olay’s advanced skin delivery technology, these ingredients penetrate the skin’s surface layers to deliver visible results.
You can then follow with the new Olay Super Serum Body Lotion, which contains the same skin-nourishing ingredients found in the body wash but replace the beta-hydroxy acid with an alpha-hydroxy acid that helps to gently slough off dull and dead skin cells, revealing brighter and smoother skin.
Lastly, give your skin the ultimate glow and make yourself smell absolutely edible, finish your routine with the new Olay Super Body Oil. This fast-absorbing oil contains squalane oil, jojoba oil, vitamin E, collagen peptide, and bakuchiol to leave skin looking youthful and supple. It also features a delicious gourmand scent with notes of pistachio cream, warm vanilla, and caramel drizzle.
The Olay Super Serum Body Wash retails for $12.99, while the Olay Super Serum Body Lotion is $14.99, and the Olay Super Body Oil is $19.99. You can find them at major retailers nationwide including Walmart, Target, Walgreens, and CVS.
Secret Clinical Hyaluronic Acid Antiperspirant
As the weather changes, we all try to dress accordingly, but oftentimes we find ourselves moving from one extreme temperature to the next, transitioning from the blustery cold outdoors to an area with indoor heating cranked up to sweltering levels. That, of course, can lead us to sweat under our long-sleeved blouses and sit uncomfortably with that dampness for hours on end. Not ideal at all! Well, with the Secret Clinical Hyaluronic Acid Antiperspirant, we won’t find ourselves in that scenario.
Secret Clinical Hyaluronic Acid Antiperspirant’s formula is clinically proven to provide 100-hour protection against 3 types of sweat — stress, heat, and activity — keeping you fresh, dry, and confident wherever the day takes you. Moreover, its triple-acting formula offers three times the stress sweat protection versus an ordinary antiperspirant.
Not only does it provide unparalleled odor and wetness protection, but the formula features hyaluronic acid to strengthen the skin barrier, making it ideal for the cooler autumn and winter months when skin tends to become dehydrated.
Secret Clinical Hyaluronic Acid Antiperspirant retails for $13.99 at food, drug, and mass market retailers nationwide.
Luseta Beauty Rice Water Jet-Set Kit
Summer tends to take a toll on our strands. Between increased UV exposure and all the splashing in lakes, pool, and oceans, we tend to head into fall with our strands looking and feeling a bit more brittle than usual. Luseta Beauty’s Rice Water collection was specifically designed to fortify strands, and it’s now available in a handy travel kit that you can pack in your gym bag, weekender tote, or carry-on suitcase.
Luseta Beauty is known for salon-quality products powered by natural ingredients — all sulfate, paraben-, and cruelty-free. Its new Rice Water Jet-Set Kit ($39 on LusetaBeauty.com) features TSA-friendly friendly sizes of the products in the bestselling Rice Water Collection, incorporating a shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, and hair spray. The shampoo and conditioner are both housed in 2.02 oz. pouches that are ultra-compact and travel-friendly.
Powered by fermented rice water, this collection draws inspiration from the ancient beauty rituals practiced by the Red Yao women of China’s Longsheng Mountains, who are known for the Rapunzel-like manes they’ve grown during their lifetimes. In addition to fermented rice water, the products in Luseta’s Rice Water collection incorporate vitamins, minerals, biotin, and amino acids that help to fortify strands, reduce breakage, and support healthier-looking, softer, and shinier hair.
OLIPOP Caramel Apple Soda
With every sip of OLIPOP’s new Caramel Apple soda, your taste buds will be transported to a fall carnival and you’ll picture biting into a candied apple, savoring the juiciness of the apple and the rich sweetness of the ooey-gooey caramel coating. And yet you’ll feel no guilt when indulging your taste buds, knowing that this particular treat is both low in calories and sugar.
OLIPOP is the better-for-you soda that delivers that classic, fizzy, refreshing soda flavor while also incorporating a functional ingredient blend that supports digestive health. A fantastic source of fiber (6 to 9 grams), each can of OLIPOP contains just 2 to 5 grams of sugar and only 35 to 50 calories.
OLIPOP’s limited-edition Caramel Apple flavor is a feel-good twist on the nostalgic treat that has become synonymous will fall festivals and carnivals. It combines crisp green apple with rich, buttery caramel notes, delivering a flavor that’s a little sweet, a little sour, and all the way delightful.
OLIPOP is available at retailers nationwide including Target, Walmarts, and Whole Foods Market as well as on DrinkOLIPOP.com
