Cozy Season Is My Specialty—Here Are 17 Autumn Beauty Products I Really Want You to Share in on
As a beauty director, I don't usually make claims with complete certainty (after all, beauty is rooted in science, which is seldom absolute), but one thing I am confident about is that my selection of autumn beauty products is unparalleled. It may come off as boastful, but I genuinely believe it—whether it’s cleansers, body creams, shower gels, hair masks, or perfumes, I understand what constitutes a remarkable beauty product for this season. How do I know? Because autumn is my season. Most of the year, I feel drained socially—my days are filled with writing about products and attending meetings with beauty brands, experts, and researchers, while my evenings are usually spent exploring new beauty launches. However, once the first leaf begins to fall, I enter my autumn hibernation. I scale back on work obligations, clear my social schedule, and dedicate at least six weeks to enjoying the comforts of home and solitude—and rest assured, during this time, I delve into my vast beauty collection.
With autumn officially upon us, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to share some of my favorite comforting beauty picks for the season. I have useful suggestions—like nourishing creams and glow-enhancing tan drops—but I believe the most worthwhile autumn beauty products are those that appeal to desires rather than necessities. Whether you want to indulge in a delightful autumn candle, take a relaxing bubble bath, or find comfort in a seasonal lip balm, I’ve got you covered. Here are the top beauty products to consider incorporating into your routine this autumn.
1. **Diptyque Citrouille Candle**
Diptyque candles truly stand out, and this limited-edition offering is no different. It emits a sweet, creamy pumpkin scent without the overwhelming sugariness found in many others. True to Diptyque's home fragrance essence, it remains fresh and light. This is the pumpkin candle for those who typically shy away from such scents. Honestly, it’s the only pumpkin-themed home fragrance I’ve ever welcomed, and I couldn’t be happier about it.
2. **Victoria Beckham Beauty The Foundation Drops**
When junior beauty editor Grace reviewed Victoria Beckham Beauty's The Foundation Drops, she insisted that I apply them immediately. This is significant, considering my aversion to foundation. Nevertheless, trusting both her and Victoria Beckham Beauty, I decided to try them. Since the initial application, not a single autumn day has passed without these drops enhancing my complexion. They're extraordinarily lightweight, feel like nothing on skin, and provide a radiant glow that I didn’t believe a base product could achieve—while also evening out skin tone. The price is admittedly steep, but I must admit I find it worth every penny.
3. **Living Proof Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo Velvet Amber**
Ask any beauty editor, and they will confirm that Living Proof Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo is the best dry shampoo ever created. It’s a fact. Nothing absorbs oil as effectively as this. The new version maintains the same cleansing formula, now infused with a warm, autumnal amber scent. I’m completely enamored.
4. **Three Warriors Hydrabronze Tan Drops**
I've received more compliments on my bronzed glow over the past month, as my natural summer tan has faded. The reason? Consistent use of facial tanning drops, specifically these ones from Three Warriors. Just mix a few drops with your moisturizer and watch your skin develop a hydrated, bronzed tone throughout the day. My top tip? I mix mine into my serum for greater absorption.
5. **The Nue Co. Us Pheromone+**
You don’t have to believe in pheromone perfumes to find this scent delicious. When I spritzed it in the Who What Wear office recently, my entire team rushed over to inquire about it. The Nue Co. Us Pheromone+ is the ultimate comforting perfume—it envelops you in a creamy scent that calms the mind, making it irresistible for others to lean in closer.
6. **Olaplex No.9 Bond Protector Nourishing Hair Serum**
This hair serum is my go-to for autumn, and I truly feel everyone should know about it. It contains Olaplex's well-known bond-repairing complex, along with heat protectants and moisturizing agents. Instead of fussing with a hair mask, just apply a pump or two to towel-dried hair after washing, and get ready for the softest, shiniest, silkiest hair of your life.
7. **L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil**
Give L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil a try, and you won't look back. I adore this product year-round, but it truly shines in the autumn months. It features a fresh, fluffy-towel almond scent (not the sweet, marzipan type) and leaves the skin beautifully nourished. If you haven’t tried it yet, do yourself a favor and make it happen—this is your sign.
