It’s officially spooky season in Abbotsford. Pumpkins are on porches, leaves are falling, and your skin is probably feeling the chill. While ghosts and goblins are cute in October, dry, dull skin is not.

If you’re noticing that your post-summer glow has vanished, it’s time to stir up some skincare magic. As a local Abbotsford esthetician, I’ve crafted the perfect Fall Skincare Cauldron, a blend of science and seasonal self-care that keeps your skin hydrated, bright, and protected through the colder months.

If you spend enough time scrolling through beauty TikTok or Instagram, you’ve probably seen someone raving about “beef tallow skincare.” It’s marketed as natural, ancient, and nourishing, and the before-and-after photos always look convincing. But when you dig into the science, beef tallow turns out to be one of those skincare fads that sounds appealing on the surface but doesn’t hold up under scrutiny.

If you’ve ever dealt with dry, itchy, inflamed patches of skin that flare up at the worst possible times, you’re far from alone. Around the world, millions of people live with eczema — and October, being Eczema Awareness Month, is the perfect time to talk about what it is, why it happens, and what you can actually do about it.

Fall is finally here — cozy sweaters, crisp air, and the perfect excuse to slow down, reset, and give your skin some extra love. As the seasons change, so do your skin’s needs. The cooler air and lower humidity can leave your complexion feeling dull, dry, or uneven — which makes this the perfect time to focus on rejuvenation, hydration, and long-term results.

As the seasons shift, I’m thrilled to offer you some fantastic ways to refresh your skincare routine and undo any summer damage.
