Now that the Fall season is here, and the weather is cooling down, it's time to revamp our skincare routines by adding in more moisture from head to toe. As a huge fan of Burt's Bees products, I chose a few of my #FallFavorites! 

Burt's Bees Sheer Body Lotion in Cucumber & Aloe ($10.00 for 8 oz. from Burt's Bees, Target, Drugstore.com, Walgreens, Dermstore.com and Amazon): If you love super emollient and ultra moisturizing body lotions, then you really must try one of the Burt's Bees Sheer Body Lotions. Their scents include Cucumber & Aloe, Violet & Mango and Clementine & Calla Lilly (reviewed here), and I love the two that I have so much that I really want to try the Violet & Mango next.

This is an ultra luxurious lightweight lotion that is thin enough to dispense through a spray bottle without ever clogging, and yet it remains rich enough to nourish and moisturize the skin with remarkable efficacy and precision. This fast absorbing lotion has a wonderfully fresh scent punctuated by the fusion of Cucumber and Aloe. The fresh aroma is neither overpowering, nor is it too long-lasting– instead, it remains close to the skin and will not interfere with any fragrance that you wear. Skin is left soft, silky smooth, supple, hydrated and luminous.

According to Burt's Bees,

Clinically shown to quickly smooth and silkify skin in seconds without the use of emulsifiers is just one of the amazing benefits of our Cucumber & Aloe Sheer Body Lotion. We can thank Safflower Seed Oleosomes for that. Some other amazing benefits include, but are not limited to: a soothing scent of Cucumber & Aloe and a lightweight, non-greasy formula that moisturizes skin without that heavy lotion feel. All thanks go to nature.

• A lightweight lotion that leaves your skin feeling silky & smooth
• Absorbs into skin within seconds without leaving skin feeling sticky or greasy
• 97% of women felt improved skin hydration 4 hours after first use

Key Ingredient: Safflower Seed Oleosomes Stay smooth with Safflower Seed Oleosomes

It smells heavenly, it deeply moisturizes the roughest skin, and it does an extraordinarily job exfoliating calloused dead skin on the feet. After using it highly for a few weeks, I noticed that my feet had become very soft, supple and smooth. I highly recommend using this at night in conjunction with comfy socks, you will see the difference the following morning!

According to Burt's Bees,

Burt's Bees Intense Hydration Day Lotion with Clary Sage ($15.29-$18.00 for 1.8 oz. from Burt's Bees, Ulta, Drugstore.com, Walgreens, Dermstore.com, Target and Amazon): This is a rich, thick and fast absorbing lotion that has the consistency of a cream.

Burt's Bees Honey Lip Balm ($3.30 for 0.15 oz. from Burt's Bees, Target, Ulta, Drugstore.com, Walgreens, and Amazon): Burt's Bees makes some of my all-time favorite lip balms, and their Honey Lip Balm is my current favorite. In fact, I plan to get a couple more to stow in my handbag, desk drawer, and anywhere else I can think of. I love the creamy texture, the emollience and honey flavor. My lips are left nourished, hydrated and silky smooth.

According to Burt's Bees,

Loved by nature and perfectly sweet. Kind of like you. This natural balm helps nourish your dry lips with a touch of golden Honey and Vitamin E, leaving them soft, supple and super happy.

Burt's Bees Lip Crayon in Napa Vineyard ($9.00 for 0.11 oz. from Burt's Bees, Ulta, Target, Drugstore.com, Walgreens, Dermstore.com and Amazon): I love Burt's Bees Lip Crayons, in part because of their great natural ingredients, but also because they are high quality, and beautifully pigmented chubby lip crayons. The lightweight balm-like texture is both comfortable on the lips and moisturizing. It features a convenient twist up design, and none of the mess or waste associated with sharpening.

While it is described as a full coverage matte lip color, I would add that like many modern mattes this one does possess some sheen. Unlike other mattes, this one contains Shea Butter, Kendi Oil and Jojoba Oil, and the added moisture that these ingredients provide makes this one fantastic formula. This hydrating lip crayon is a wonderful hybrid lipstick/lip balm that you can wear all day long without your lips getting dry or uncomfortable. It is also a very affordable alternative to the luxury matte lipsticks on the market that dry lip sufferers tend to avoid. It has the perfect amount of cushion, feels divine on the lips, and is long wearing. Burt's Bees Lip Crayons neither contain added fragrance, nor flavor-- so they won't pose a problem for people sensitive to fragrance in their beauty products.

Burt's Bees Lip Crayon in Napa Vineyard is the perfect blue-based red lip color for the fall, and for me it was pure unmitigated love at first sight.

According to Burt's Bees,

Introducing six creamy, full-coverage shades of matte lip color in a modern crayon for truly beautiful lip color. Lightweight moisture for a comfortable, everyday wear formula infused with Shea Butter, Kendi Oil, and Jojoba Oil. It's color that truly cares for your lips!

• For everyday wear either alone or layered under a Lip Gloss or Lip Shine
