    Find some fun in the fall

    Visit a pumpkin patch, go apple picking, take a hike to enjoy the fall colors, or have a Halloween movie night. Whatever you choose, stay moisturized with our Dove Men+Care Refreshing Hand + Body Lotion. Made with skin-strengthening nutrients and plant-based moisturizers, it gives your skin the nourishment it deserves, so you can focus on enjoying everything fall has to offer with the people you love.

    Warm drinks for the win

    Cold weather calls for something cozy. Try making your favorite hot beverages. Whether it’s a homemade hot chocolate, delicious mulled cider or a seasonal pumpkin spiced latte, warm drinks can be soothing, calming and the perfect act of self-care in the fall. So take your time, mindfully sip your drink, and savor the moment.

    Fill the fall with treats

    Studies suggest that taking up baking can help reduce stress and promote mindfulness, while giving you the chance to get creative. So, consider picking up a mixing bowl next time you’re feeling those fall blues. The smell of fresh bread helps, too – in another study, people say it makes them happier.

    Start a seasonal exercise routine

    Exercise is crucial to mental and physical well-being. Plan activities to help stretch your muscles and enjoy the changing outdoors. Whether you’re walking, biking or hiking, get your heart rate up and get your body moving. And don’t forget the deodorant. Our Dove Men+Care Advanced Clean Comfort Antiperspirant protects your underarms from sweat and odor for 72 hours, so you feel fresh after every workout and adventure.

    Declutter

    Clutter can increase stress, so it’s important to create a space to relax and unwind. Bathrooms are the perfect place to take a breather and apply some self-care, so start there. Empty out your cabinets and get rid of old and out-of-date grooming products. Arrange whatever is left depending on how frequently you use them. Now you have a new stress-free, self-care haven to care for body, mind and skin.

    Ask for help

    If you are struggling to make time for self-care, reach out to others and try putting yourself in more social situations. A new hobby or sport might be the connection you need to lift your mood and help you manage seasonal anxiety in fall. Also, don’t underestimate the importance of sharing feelings with your friends. Opening up allows them to understand you better and be there for you.
