Seasonal foods aren't just for eating! Amp up your fall glow with a few of our favorite pumpkin, pomegranate, and other autumn-inspired ingredients. These rich, moisturizing formulas are the perfect defense against cool, dry October air.

A summer of sunscreen, frizz-control products, oils, and sea salt is enough to leave anyone's locks in need of a vacation. Start fresh for fall by giving your hair and scalp a deep cleansing with a clarifying shampoo or a DIY rinse of apple cider vinegar.

Sand, surf, and sun can also be hard on your skin. Now that fall is here, use natural botanicals such as aloe, chamomile, and cucumber to coddle your damaged dermis, so you can look as unruffled as you feel.

Senior editor Terri Trespicio appeared on "The Martha Stewart Show" in September to discuss fall beauty tips, including how to exfoliate skin with a dry brush, removing dead cells and improving circulation.

Autumn's chill might tempt you into thinking you don't need a balm with SPF, but don't be fooled, advises Jeffrey Dover, M.D., a dermatologist in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. "The incidence of skin cancer on the lips has increased, and year-round sun protection is the best way to safeguard against it." These balms do double duty, with a hint of shine and a dose of natural sunblock.

Hydrating: Juice Beauty SPF 8 Lip Moisturizer. Thick but not goopy, with organic ingredients.

Shimmery: Jane Iredale PureMoist Lip Colour SPF 18. Bright and a little shiny, to make lips pop.

Soft Neutrals: Alba Botanica Terra Tints SPF 8. Refreshing, with peppermint.

Transparent coverage: Lavera Sun 15 Lip Balm and Yes to Carrots Pomegranate Conditioning Lip Butter with SPF 15. Clear, for the au naturel look.

This ancient herb from India, which used to be known just for its medicinal qualities, is now showing up in beauty-care products including oils, creams, and soaps. It's thought that the antioxidant and antibacterial properties help skin repair itself from exposure to sun and environmental toxins.

In September, we asked our favorite natural-skin-care gurus to reveal their antiaging secrets and everyday beauty routines. We got remarkably similar answers from each of them: They look for active ingredients, they love antioxidants, they use sunscreen (usually), and more.

Rare is the occasion when your skin doesn't appreciate a little extra attention. The time is always right for a soothing and moisturizing facial, made with calming lavender essential oil and creamy almond butter.

Whether you embrace your locks' natural hue or color-treat them, there's always room for more vibrancy and shine -- especially after a summer of color-stripping sun and surf. But don't rely on a fumy, bottled enhancer for results. Instead, restore your shade with nourishing foods from the pantry. We've got quick fixes for blondes, brunettes, and redheads.

You may have forfeited foundation during the sweaty days of summer. But now that cool weather is back, are you ready to reapply? Make sure you've got the right formula for your skin -- one that gives you a flawless finish, a custom blend, and a super-natural effect.

You may not think your cosmetics contain wheat-based ingredients, but many do. While that's fine for most, for those who suffer from celiac disease, even a small amount is problematic. These products, perfect for fall, are in the clear.

The founder of Naturopathica -- and author of "Pure Skin: Organic Beauty Basics" -- gives expert advice on changing your skin-care routine for fall. 

"During the summer, people pile on products and sunscreen, so by fall your skin is usually ready for a detox. Over the past few months, you've been exposed to ultraviolet light, which is drying and triggers an inflammatory response in the skin. As we move into fall, it's important to hydrate and to restore. Everything in nature turns inward at this time -- the trees lose their leaves, animals gather food, and we move indoors, making it a natural time to rebuild the skin. 

The first step is exfoliation, to slough off that dull layer of skin cells and even out skin tone. I like fruit enzyme masks applied in a warm shower because the steam helps them penetrate. After removing the mask, apply a rich moisturizer. Look for an active ingredient that treats whatever skin issue you're trying to combat -- dryness (hyaluronic acid), pigmentation (licorice root), or irritation (oat beta-glucan)."

A nice bath is the perfect antidote to fall's chill. To keep your skin soft, use gentle products, and don't spend too long in the tub. "Hot soaks are incredibly relaxing but can also be drying," says Ranella Hirsch, M.D., a dermatologist based in Boston. 

Whether you buy bath salts in the store or use our make-your-own recipe, keep your steep to 10 minutes or less. 

Beauty pros and skin-care specialists are all abuzz about carrier oils -- skin-lubricating natural oil, cold-pressed from seeds. When they're scented with an essential oil or dried herb, they carry the properties of that ingredient to your skin. Alone, these skin softeners can be used all over the body to lock in moisture. 

Sunflower: Contains vitamin E and has a light, nonsticky feel. 

Grapeseed: Perfect for oily skin because it's not greasy. 

Olive: Best for dry, itchy skin.

An old facialists' trick: To depuff under the eyes, apply pressure to the sides of the nose. Now L'Oreal Collagen Micro-Pulse Eye one-ups the technique with a vibrating wand that massages eye cream for the same effect.

For a fall lip color that's bright but not garish, look outside; seasonal berries offer the freshest range of reds. "Nature does color perfectly," says Jessa Blades, an organic makeup artist based in New York City. To find the right red for you, swipe a bunch of shades on the back of your hand to find the most flattering color. 

"It's not until you see how it complements your skin that you'll know your perfect match," explains Blades. If a bold, red lip is too much for you, dab on lipstick with your finger to get the precise amount of color you want. To keep your look subtle, try a sheer blush and a simple neutral shadow. "The natural world is all about balance -- that also applies to makeup."
