Fall is just around the corner and we can’t wait for all the fun that this season has in store. The mix of vibrant fall colors adorning the trees combined with the sound of kids laughing as they go trick or treating is one of our favorite things; and is probably what makes this particular season stand out from the rest of the year.

These fond and familiar images may bring a smile to your face but pleasure moments aside, this is the time of year in particular when you have to protect yourself and your family's delicate skin from the cold and dry weather that’s about to rush in.

Its true that It’s good to keep a moisturizer handy any time of the year but there’s just something extra about the cold months, that extra bite to the wind, that makes your skin thirst for moisture. Sure, your regular moisturizer may work wonders most of the time but during the Fall season, you will need that extra layer of protection that also works to replenish moisture on your skin.
