Sure, fall’s official start was last month, but October is when you really begin to feel the effects of the season. The mornings are brisk enough for a suede jacket, the turning leaves are a sign that snow could be on the forecast soon, and you might even pull out your heavy duvet from storage. As far as your beauty routine is concerned, the drier air might be making your skin feel like sandpaper and the whipping winds could leave your hair limp and lifeless. Thankfully, October 2024’s best new beauty products have arrived just in time for your seasonal struggles.
For starters, Dior has released its first-ever retinol product, a treatment that targets fall-related concerns and then some, including dullness, roughness, and wrinkles. Then there’s Oak Essentials cleansing milk. The minimalist bottle will look stylish on your bathroom counter, but the actual formula is gentle and soothing for dehydrated, weather-worn skin. You can also upgrade your makeup looks ahead of your impending stacked calendar this holiday season with Celine’s satin red lipstick and e.l.f. Cosmetics’ glow-boosting bronzer-contour. You can also zhuzh your hair with Shark’s multitasking styling tool and get ahead of flakes with Biologique Recherche’s scalp treatment.
Ahead, a complete rundown of the most exciting skin care, makeup, hair care, body care, and fragrance launches of October 2024. Your fall beauty routine is about to get a major makeover.
