How to take care of yourself in autumn: restoring body and mind after summer 🌿🍁

Summer is a time of joy, travel, sun and vacations. But with the arrival of autumn comes a change of rhythm — the days get shorter, the temperatures drop and both body and mind demand a slowdown. If you want to make the transition into autumn days go smoothly, pay a little more attention to yourself and your care. Here are some tips on how to get back in the mood for autumn.

1. Hydration – even in autumn it is key

The sun, salt water, and air conditioning have taken a toll on our skin over the summer. Even though the sun isn't as strong anymore, your skin still needs hydration. Swap out light summer gels for more nourishing creams, add hydrating serums or oils. And don't forget to drink plenty of water — even if you're not as thirsty as you were in the heat.

2. Detox from summer

Summer is all about barbecues, cocktails, and a lighter diet. No need to feel guilty — but fall is a great time to give your body a reboot. Try lightening up your diet, including warm soups, seasonal vegetables (pumpkin, beets, carrots), and herbal teas. Your body will thank you.

3. Autumn routine = more peace

After an active summer, it's good to slow down. Treat yourself to quiet evenings with a book, hot tea or a scented candle. The body's natural rhythm is changing - and a little hygge certainly doesn't hurt.

4. Change your wardrobe – and warm up in style

Summer dresses and swimsuits are replaced by layers, sweaters, scarves and comfortable loungewear. Fall is the perfect time to fall in love with fashion again. Go for natural materials, muted colors, but don't be afraid of autumnal shades like burgundy, mustard or forest green.

5. Take care of your mental well-being

The change of season can also bring fatigue or a bad mood. Regular exercise, walks in the fresh air, but also small rituals — morning coffee, gratitude, journaling or meditation — help. Every small step counts.

In conclusion: Take time for yourself 🍂

Autumn is not just about sleet. It's a time to get back to yourself, to your roots. Wrap yourself in a soft blanket, brew your favorite tea, and give yourself the care you deserve — inside and out. 🌙If you'd like to warm up in warm countries, don't forget to take our tunic with you.
