Back to the Beauty Basics for Fall

From taking care of your wardrobe and picking a fragrance to getting soft skin and a bright smile

From the LifeMinute team

Need some help making a style transition from Summer into Fall? A switch in the seasons is the perfect chance to change your look for the better with these beauty basics.

Show your wardrobe some TLC
Caring for your clothes is just as important as the pieces you choose to wear. Tide Pods are perfect to protect your clothes. They give you the cleaning, stain removal and brightening of laundry detergent without the mess of measuring. Tide Pods also just joined forces with the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) to create the Washable Fashion Initiative to educate designers on creating more washable styles. They even enlisted designer Tracy Reese to create a collection that's 100% machine washable. You can find it at tracyreese.com.

Freshen up your fragrance
Sample a new scent for the fall season. A great tip is to try something that really captures everything that you want to feel, such as Halle Berry's Wild Essence fragrance. It encapsulates everything that people love about the movie star -- her raw beauty, sophistication and sultry, sensual vibe -- with its top notes of citrus and white flowers and more sophisticated notes of white patchouli and sandalwood. One spritz can completely captivate and draw people in without being too overpowering. Pick it up for Fall for $28 at mass-market retailers and drugstores.

Moisturize skin without the stickiness
As you transition into a cooler season, it's crucial to moisturize to maintain skin's softness and hydration. Jergens Original Scent Dry Skin Moisturizer is great for keeping skin beautiful, minus the heavy feeling of wearing lotion, so you can slip into your favorite Fall fashions without feeling sticky. It has the same nostalgic cherry almond scent that people have loved about the brand for over 80 years, but now the moisturizer is more hydrating with a new reformulated, illuminating technology to restore skin's luminosity. Get a bottle for under $4 at drugstores.

You're never fully dressed without a smile
A white and bright smile is a perfect wardrobe accessory. To get a shiny smile, try the Listerine Healthy White Mouthrinse Collection. Two different varieties provide you with options; there's a gentle, whitening mouthwash -- the only one on the market that doesn't contain peroxide, while also fighting germs and bacteria that lead to bad breath -- and a second mouthwash for vibrancy, to give extra dazzle to your smile and to help you achieve a vibrant smile in just five days.
