"Come autumn, I like to switch to an oil based cleanser. I find that it's less likely to dry out my combination skin like some gels or foams might. I like Julep's lightweight blend, it doesn't leave my skin greasy but it leaves a bit of moisture behind so my face doesn't feel super tight after washing." –Sheryl George, Beauty Editor

"I predict I'll be doing a lot of multi-masking this fall, since—though my t-zone remains an oil slick—my forehead always gets dry during the transitional months. Cue Boscia Tsubaki Deep Hydration Sleeping Mask, which delivers major hydration by way of camellia oil and Japanese kelp." –Dianna Mazzone, Assistant Beauty Editor

"Since my t-zone remains oily while my forehead gets dry come fall, I'll also be changing up my exfoliation game: The Magic Pads—soaked in glycolic and hyaluronic acids—are powerful enough to slough away dead, flaky skin but don't leave me the least bit red." –Dianna Mazzone, Assistant Beauty Editor

"Since I'll be staying in a lot more in the colder weather, I'll inevitably be upping my mask game. My breakouts are prevalent regardless of the season, so I'll be turning to this charcoal Origins mask to zap zits and unclog pores to prevent future pimples. This is my go-to mask for acne because although it's clay-based, it's gentle and doesn't dry out my skin." –Erin Lukas, Beauty Writer
