As the summer leaves shed from the trees our minds start to shift from summer dresses, BBQ’s and beach days to crisp mornings, shorter days and cosy scarves. But as the inevitable seasonal shift occurs, the transition from the warm weather to cooler autumnal days can play havoc on your skin. As the temperature and humidity drops, your skin will be working twice as hard to stay hydrated and moisturised. And that’s not the only switch; this time of year can be hectic with schools starting, changes to working hours, subsequent lifestyle changes and as life gets busier you and your skin can be prone to additional stress and exhaustion. As the temperature gets colder you might be taking longer baths, hotter showers, the central heating in your home and office space might have been switched on by now, all of which can make you and your skin feel burnt out, inflamed or irritable.
Let’s face it; Irish seasons are unpredictable at the best of times so we do not always find ourselves ready when the next season predictably but suddenly appears. Fear not, at Monica Tolan we have introduced the most convenient, well-constructed skincare subscription box service of it’s kind. We know that your skin, wellbeing and needs change with each season so we are thrilled to curate the perfect range of essential products to get you through each season; delivered straight to your door, and the first of it’s kind in Ireland. Available now and full of tried and tested products to make this transition from summer to autumn, a lot more bearable.
