October Begins Softly - Exclusive Pure Avva's Journal

The light changes first. It slips through the window slower now, golden and quiet. Mornings smell like mist and ripe fruit, and skin begins to whisper for more comfort — a little more moisture, a little more care.

October feels like a pause between the rush of summer and the hush of winter. It’s the season that reminds us: caring for your skin is caring for your rhythm. To breathe. To touch. To feel present again.

As the weather turns cooler, my workspace fills with the scent of shea, sea buckthorn, and the faint sweetness of bergamot. These autumn batches always feel special — thicker, creamier, more nurturing.

This month, I’ve been crafting fresh small batches of our Creamy Shea Body Cleanser and Super Skin Deodorant — two quiet essentials that make daily rituals feel softer, cleaner, and more alive. Each one is made slowly, by hand, and poured with care — because that’s how nature intended beauty to be made.

There’s something magical about watching oils transform — from liquid light into gentle, nourishing forms that truly feed the skin. It reminds me why I started PURE AVVA in the first place: to return to what’s real, to what your skin truly recognises.

Skincare Secrets — Autumn Rituals for Radiant Skin

When days grow shorter and air becomes dry, your skin asks for more than hydration – it asks for protection.

Here’s a small ritual I’ve been following lately:

• After cleansing, warm a few drops of serum between your palms and breathe in.

• Press gently into the face — don’t rush — allow your skin to drink it in.

• Follow with a rich cream to seal in that moisture barrier.

• Take one extra minute to massage — not for vanity, but to remind yourself that your body deserves gentleness.

If you’re using the Super Skin Rich Cream, let it melt completely before sleep. Its base of shea butter, sea buckthorn, and prickly pear oil works quietly through the night — rebuilding softness and glow while you rest.

This season is all about replenishment — not perfection.

• Evening candle ritual: one flame, slow breath, a warm cup of tea.
