Give yourself a weekly manicure. The lack of moisture in the air during the fall season causes nails to chip more often. Giving yourself a weekly manicure with a nourishing hand cream and a fresh coat of eggplant nail polish will ensure your mitts stay pretty and fit for the season.

Use a richer moisturizer. Lack of humidity also causes dryer skin on your face, even if you normally have oily skin. Opt for a richer moisturizer such as Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion , a non-comedogenic formula (it will not clog your pores).

Switch to a Cream Hair Remover. Hair grows a little slower in the winter, which means you will not have to shave as much. Ditch your razor in favor of a moisturizing cream hair remover such as Nair Cream Hair Remover with Aloe Vera for super-smooth legs.

Exfoliate Your Lips. The fall/winter season is especially brutal to our lips, causing excessive dryness and flaking. Protect your lips by exfoliating with a warm washcloth or C.O. Bigelow Smoothing Lip Buffer, then follow up with your favorite creamy lip balm.

Whip Up a Pumpkin Face Mask. I found a yummy recipe for your face over at Care2: a nourishing pumpin face mask with honey:
Pumpkin Facial Mask

2 teaspoons cooked or canned pumpkin
1/2 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon milk (or whipping cream, if your skin is very dry)

1. Combine ingredients and apply to a clean face with gentle circular motions, avoiding the area around your eyes.

2. Allow mask to remain on skin for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse with warm water, pat dry, and apply your usual moisturizer.
