Some of us are excited for fall (me) and other people are holding onto every last ounce of summer (my husband). Either way, the transition to fall is coming and if you live north of Texas odds are it’s coming sooner for you! I have the key ingredients for transition to fall time that I think will make this summer to fall switch a lot easier.
3 Ways To Transition To Fall
Skin: Anytime the seasons change I feel like my skin revolts. Anyone else? I feel like especially my skin post-shower is really weird. Shaving always makes my VERY sensitive skin feel a little dry. I have been using the Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer right after my shower for a few months now. I use it in the shower right when I’m done. Water off, Jergens on. I keep it in my shower right next to my body wash and shampoo for easy access. In the few months I have been using it I have noticed how much softer my skin feels. It is specially formulated to work with water. It instantly absorbs on wet skin to take advantage of skin’s peak moisture moment (the time when skin is most receptive to moisture). It absorbs two times faster for 24-hour soft skin. Not only does it make your skin feel great but the smell is amazing! It also feels really good to the touch. Some products feel greasy and this does not! This combined with other things I am doing for my skin really helps when the temps change. I foresee this being a part of my shower routine for a long time to come!
Food: Something about fall makes me want to shy away from salads and fall in love with my slow-cooker again. I have an entire post coming soon about my favorite slow cooker recipes, but the idea of making stews, chilis, soups, and pot roast just scream fall. Even thinking about them get me excited and reading to transition to fall. Let’s not forget fall drinks, like hot chocolate, apple cider, and pumpkin flavored goodness! It’s also my favorite time to bake things like pumpkin bread, banana bread, and cookies!
Home: Nothing makes you want to transition to fall quite like burning those pumpkin candles and adding all those fall decor items back in. We actually decorated for fall last weekend and it has put me in the best mood! If it’s getting cooler and you are feeling the post summer blues, I really think adding some pumpkins and fall things to your home will perk you up! Try having a cup of hot chocolate too!
I would love to hear how you transition to fall? Do you use certain products? Do you change your routine? Do tell!
I’m sharing #Jergens in my life as part of a Jergens sponsored series for Socialstars™
I never tried Jergens products, but would love to. Also for Fall I love Fall and can’t wait for the leaves to change colors and pumpkin picking and fall festivals (:
U need to try it. It is a great lotion and leaves ur skin feeling great
I tried the new wet skin therapy and I love it..after just 1 week I noticed the dry skin on my legs getting softer with less dry spots….I will be buying this from now on..its a great product
I’m not so keen on Autumn but I am looking forward to drinking hot chocolate again!
Oh my skin is absolutely beginning it’s rebellion. Thank you for the product tip!
I’m so ready for fall weather. I can’t wait to wear long sleeves and fur boots LOL. I too am ready to break out the crock pot for some homemade soups and maybe even some chicken and dumplings 🙂
I have not tried Jergins Wet Skin Moisturizer before. I’ll have to give it a try! I decorated for Fall last week and it makes me so happy! Living in Florida we do not get Fall or Winter so anything I can do to make it feel more like Fall the better! I can’t wait for your post about slow cooker meals! Thanks for sharing!
I am so ready for fall! This hot weather is killing me.
Hey Neely, I love my slow cooker during this time of year as well. I am a huge fan of the pumpkin pecan waffle candle from bath and body works. It is the best.
As soon as Autumn hits I definitely pull out my slow cooker and have candles burning constantly. It adds such a cozy feeling to the house!
I use coconut oil on my face, but I agree with you–I am READY for FALL!!
I’ll have to find that moisturizer! I use Jergens a lot and I’d love to try it. I adore fall and have already busted out slippers, candles, throw blankets, and my slow cooker is on right now 🙂
I love fall so so so much! Can’t wait. We’re still stuck in summer here, but according to the (unreliable) forecast fall should start showing up next week! That moisturizer sounds fantastic, too. I saw an Austrian brand of wet skin moisturizer the other day and allllmost got it — now I think I will!
It still feels like summer here in California. I’ll probably get out the apple spice candles toward the end of September or beginning of October. I’m still laying out the beach in my bikini.
My mom and I were just chatting the other day about how excited we are for pumpkin and cinnamon candles. I love it! I also may have started a potential Christmas list and put a slow cooker on there…because SOUP WEATHER!
I agree, I love everything about fall! I feel a bit guilty for not eating my salads as much- it’s hard to get that many veggies without a salad! But my crock pot calls my name, and we get busier. Apple picking, pumpkin carvings, hayrides, fall candles….love it!
Haha yeah, fall means pumpkin flavoured products are available to grab 😛
I love the fall however in South Florida it does not get really chilly until winter for most of the country. I still decorate with so much fall decor though, my house smells like pumpkins and apples all season 🙂
So excited for the Fall foods too! Potato soup is calling my name! Will have to give this product a try!
That moisturizer is amazing, my skin always suffers with the changing of the seasons, too. It’s so strange to think about fall since it’s still 90+ degrees out there! I want comfort and warmth and pumpkin everything already 🙂
UG! My skin goes to war too 🙂 I am so ready for fall! I moved to GA from WI, and I’m excited to take my kids on fall adventures sans the snow. Oh that and the pumpkins and apples for puree and applesauce 🙂
I definitely need to moisturize my hands more as soon as the seasons start changing. I’ve also started lighting candles again now that it’s a few degrees cooler.
I loved Jergens when we lived in the States. Unfortunately they don’t sell them here in Germany.
I’m so ready for fall. Give me all the scarves, boots and sweaters please. Apple cider is my favorite fall drink and i’m looking forward to using my darker make up, too.
I am sooooo excited it’s fall.
I low using my slow cooker in the fall for meals. So easy, quick and simple. I find my skin gets a little drier during the fall, so I have to keep lotion with me at all. Being at home snuggled up watching movies is one of my favorite things to do for Fall.
I totally am just like you. My skin is freaking out, I am starting to pin new things to my fall recipe folder and the downstairs of my home is already decorated! Fall is my favorite season.
I’ll have to try out this lotion when the cold weather makes my skin rougher! Thank you for the tip 🙂 And I can’t wait for all the wonderful foods and decor that come with fall! Yay!
I absolutely cannot wait to get back to Baltimore from my time away and decorate my house for fall and pull out my slow cooker! Fall is my favorite season as I love EVERYTHING Fall, pumpkins, pumpkin patches, apple picking, corn mazes, football, Fall food etc. 🙂
My skin gets SO dry in the winter months… thanks for the review.
No, I don’t change my routine–just my clothes! However I have super dry skin and really should try Jergens wet skin moisturizer. I mean something ha s got to work–right?
I am SO with you! I love making anything and everything in my crockpot, especially in the colder months. And fall candles are my kryptonite!! I am anxiously awaiting the cooler days ahead.
Fall foods and scents are the best. Cinnamon and pumpkin for days and days. I love pumpkin bread. 🙂
I LOVE pumpkin everything and am super excited to start wearing my boots and sweaters! On the other hand, I’m a total summer girl and don’t want it to be cool enough to wear them. haha I need to move back to Texas!
My skin is so dry right now – I totally need to get better about putting on lotion again haha.
xoxo, Jenny
I’m so ready to start making all of my favorite soups…and trying new ones! Bring on the fall!

Transitioning to the fall season is always hard for me, but once it starts I tend to embrace it. I do change some beauty care products and my wardrobe definitely changes up too for warmer clothes! lol
I have always wanted to try this! I might just need to now
I definitely agree with all of this! Fall is such a fun transition — totally cozy, but not as harsh as winter. I’m super excited to start burning my pumpkin and apple candles.
The best time of the year for me is Fall! I love to see the leaves changing color, the nippy weather, and the comfort food! I am anxiously awaiting your next post with the slow cooker recipes. I am a big fan of the slow cooker. It has made my life a whole lot easier. Please keep us posted. I’m raring to try your recipes!
The one thing that signals my transition from summer to fall is making hot coffee instead of iced coffee!
I desperately need your slow cooker guide, my goal for these cold months is to get REALLY into using a slow cooker (I’ve never used one before) because I feel the same way about cold foods in the winter time. I’ll PASS.
Didn’t know they had wet moisturizer, sounds like a good product. I love hot food over cold anyway (dessert being the exception ;)), so fall makes me happy for just that kind of food, yummy!
I love autumn! I stock up my favorite teas and hot chocolate, start taking immune boosting vitamins and take out warm throws. Also, have to change my facial cream for a one, that moisturizes more than the summer one and start using hand creams again.
I hold onto every last bit of summer but I do like to decorate for fall. I actually decorated the house last weekend even though it was 95 degrees out!
I’m jumping into fall by making a crockpot soup this week. I can’t wait for the temps to cool down!
Very much needed for fall! My skin is freaking out at this point
That Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer is seriously a gift from above! I’ve been using it for almost a year & fall in love with it every single day. It keeps my skin softer than any other lotion (high end all the way to low end) that I’ve ever tried. It’s seriously boss.

You make me want to try the Jergens wet skin moisturizer. I have been using another brand and it works great but I have always loved the smell of Jergens. I would really like to try it.
I have never tried the Jergens wet skin moisturizer but I have tried other brands and I really liked the way they work. I cant wait to try this brand. My skin becomes more dry as the weather gets colder and I don’t like to have to put lotion on and then my clothes over top of it so the wet skin moisturizer is really and ideal match for that.
I have used some of the Jergen’s products in the past .But I have not kept up with the newer products coming out. But look forward to giving them a try in the future.
I had never used any product jersen until someone gave me a hand soap, use it and I liked how soft it leaves my skin.
I have only tried original jergens and I love it 🙂
Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the pumpkin scents, the foliage, the nip in the air.
Fall is my favorite time of year,But dry skin can be a problem,I have used regular Jergens for years,that is the lotion my mom used and it reminds me of her…But the new Wet jergens I would love to try to see if it works as well..
