Top 5 Beauty Tips to Transition Into Cool Weather

Sponsored by Target Beauty
By Essence · Updated October 23, 2020
We love the hot cocoa, cozy sweater, and first snowfall. But as temps start to drop, that crisp air we adore can actually play havoc on our beauty routine. But we got you! Here’s how to make the transition into cooler weather and still look totally amazing with these top 5 beauty picks you can pick up on your next Target run!   Add these beauty must-haves to your shopping list or add them to your cart now at Target.com!
01
Leave It On
Soften strands while nourishing and moisturizing with a leave-in you and your hair are gonna love. If you have kinky, curly and wavy natural styles or if you color, straighten, perm or heat style your hair, SheaMoisture’s Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Restore Leave-In Conditioner supports elasticity so hair resists breakage. It even adds a protective layer that improves the appearance of split ends and the peppermint stimulates the scalp for an invigorating experience—all while controlling frizz. Yeah, we told you you’d like this one!

Restore Softness
Keep a little glow into colder months by moisturizing skin all over with a comforting cream. Carol’s Daughter Almond Cookie Shea Soufflé Hand and Body Lotion blends Almond Oil and carefully-selected ingredients for softness up to 24 hours in a luxurious scent with notes of Marzipan, Tonka Bean and warm vanilla. No silicones, parabens, petrolatum, mineral oil or artificial colors, its cushiony texture melts into the skin, without leaving behind a greasy or sticky feel. So, after your shower, massage into damp, towel-dried skin, putting a little extra on rough areas like your knees or elbows to make them soft to the touch—and simply enjoy that indulgent Almond Cookie scent.

Strengthen Strands
This season, tame flyaways and fight frizz for smooth, bouncy curls, so that your hair looks great even on chilly days when you need to wear a hat. Replenish, restore and hydrate your hair for healthy, shiny results with a lightweight treatment, like Mielle Organics Deep Conditioner Babassu & Mint. A great cream conditioner for all hair types, it’s made with natural lipids that help lock moisture in hair and strengthen strands from root to tip. Plus, the mint oil not only smells fantastic, but it also helps promote blood circulation to unblock follicles and healthy new growth. Try adding this to your everyday routine!

Take Your Vitamins
Craving long, healthy hair? But worried the weather will make it dry and brittle? Get beautiful results from the inside out. Liquid vitamins help more nutrients get absorbed right into the bloodstream, so you see the look you want sooner than with traditional pill vitamins. Just one tablespoon per day of Curls Blissful Lengths Hair Growth Vitamin can help you get closer to your #hairgoals. This supplement contains a multitude of antioxidants, biotin, folic acid, and B vitamins to encourage not just growth, but also increased hair strength. And as a fun perk, it also helps overall skin and nail health too. Pretty amazing, huh

Max Out Moisture
Super dry skin? An after-shower moisturizer can help add some extra nourishment when you really need it. Formulated with nutrients that can benefit all skin types, the OKAY Ultra Moisturizing Body Butter is a rich, hydrating body butter that will leave skin feeling smooth and nourished after each use for touchable soft skin. Shea ingredients bring tons of moisture to your dry skin, and the delicious mango scent will surround you for a fruity and relaxing finish that’s reminiscent of warmer days, even on the coolest nights.
