There is a distinct magic to this season. As we settle into fall, it feels like the perfect time to slow down, reflect on the summer months, and embrace a change of pace. Between crisp blue skies, beautiful autumn colours, and cozy nights in, there’s something about this season that invites us to reset and recharge.

For me, that means prioritizing non-negotiable self-care. I adore creating an evening sanctuary to indulge in deep, head-to-toe beauty rituals. In this month’s edition, I’ve shared some of my favorite products to nourish your skin and hair through the transition. So plan a candle-lit bath, whip up our delicious pumpkin spice latte (recipe below!), set your phone on silent, and lose yourself in a favorite book before bedtime. You’ve earned this moment.

Cooler temperatures, a drop in humidity and the switch to indoor heating can disrupt moisture balance and trigger seasonal shedding.

Why We’re Obsessed with XERF Radiofrequency

If you’re looking for visible firmness without invasive procedures, XERF needs to be on your radar. I’ve been going to Le Jolie Spa since 2019 and right now my favorite treatment there is the XERF facial with @dermbychloe. 

Here’s why it’s different. Traditional radiofrequency works on one layer of your skin at a time. But XERF radiofrequency can treat two different depths at the same time. So while it’s actively tightening the deep matrix holding your jawline taut, it’s simultaneously working on the upper dermis, refining fine lines and texture at the surface.

Results are immediate - you’ll notice a subtle firmness on day one, which in itself is wonderful, -  but it’s then followed by a steady wave of newly synthesized collagen that peaks around week four. Best of all? It’s completely needle-free, requires no topical numbing, and leaves no downtime in its wake. Use it to sculpt the face, jawline, under-chin, and neck, or extend the treatment to target areas on the body.

I’m currently walking around in a little cloud of Santal Calling, by Ex Nihilo and I’m completely obsessed with this scent.

The vibe: think cashmere sweaters, candle-lit evenings, and effortless warmth. It starts with a subtle spice of nutmeg that gives way to an ultra-creamy heart of iris and milk accord, finishing with a grounding base of golden sandalwood, vanilla, and musk. Spray a little on your pulse points post-bath and let it wrap around you.

This MERIT Bronze Balm sheer sculpting bronzer is so good for a healthy, sun-kissed look, adding a natural warmth at any time of year. It’s a super creamy blendable formula that you just apply where the sun would naturally hit -  top of the forehead, cheekbones and across the bridge of the nose. 

I also add a little of the MERIT Beauty Flush Balm blush on my cheeks too, for a little extra wintery glow. It’s lightweight, soft and packed with vitamin E so it’s great for cheeks AND lips!

To get the best out of both of these products I use my MERIT Brush No 1. It’s designed to blend everything from liquid foundation to concealer, blush, and complexion sticks - and leaves you with a really flawless finish.

Why I swear by my Tangle Teezers

Protecting your hair's elasticity and preventing breakage comes down to using the right tools. The Tangle Teezer is my go-to because it’s ultra-gentle on fragile hair, and you can even use it in the shower on wet hair, to apply your conditioner or a hair mask. Its patented two-tiered teeth glide through stubborn knots without pulling or snagging. Plus, it smooths the outer cuticle with every pass, leaving your hair looking incredibly glossy, healthy, and resilient. Check out this plant-based version in baby pink!

Switching to a microfiber towel can cut your drying time in half, and avoid unnecessary hair damage. This Quick Dry hair towel from Everist absorbs 10x its weight in water for faster drying and smoother, shinier strands helping minimize frizz and breakage.

Did you hear our exciting news about holi (mane)?  If you’re planning a trip for Thanksgiving or The Holidays, we recently launched these individual travel sachets of holi (mane) to save you taking your entire regular pouch. Easy to pack and go, each set contains 14 individual servings:

Buy Agent Nateur in-store: Erewhon has long been one of my favorite stops in Los Angeles for nourishing, high-vibe essentials - so bringing Agent Nateur to their shelves a few years ago was a natural match. Next time you’re picking up your favorite smoothie, step up to our newly curated custom-designed end caps, including permanent installations in Manhattan Beach and Thousand Oaks. I hope you love these as much as I do - I designed the architectural arch silhouette to mirror the old-world European columns embossed on our signature packaging, bringing a touch of timeless European elegance straight to the West Coast.

Tried and tested: I’ve been living in this cute Cassandre windbreaker from Saint Laurent - so perfect for when it gets a little cooler in the evenings, especially when I’m walking Giorgio and Federico! This one is actually last season but you can find some on Poshmark and the RealReal and loads of similar vintage ones from the 80s on eBay!

If you're already stopping by your favorite coffee shop for a seasonal pumpkin spice latte, you'll love this Agent Nateur version you can easily make at home.

Not only is it feel-good, it’s do-good because it contains a scoop of our award-winning, best-selling holi (mane) daily supplement combining two powerhouse ingredients - marine collagen and pearl powder - to support flourishing hair, radiant skin, and resilient nails. In a world where collagen supplements are everywhere, it’s important to make informed choices. So, why is marine collagen better than bovine collagen? And why is our holi (mane) the best of the best? We wrote about it here.

Blending traditional latte ingredients with all the color and flavor of Fall, this pumpkin spice latte can be yours in under ten minutes - the perfect hot drink for mornings, cozy afternoons or your bedtime hug in a mug.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of your preferred milk

• 2 shots of espresso (if you can’t make espresso at home, just use a tablespoon of instant coffee and boiling water instead)

• 2-3 tablespoons of pumpkin puree (optional)

• 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice - we actually made our own from a little cinnamon (half a tsp), ginger (⅛ tsp), nutmeg (⅛ tsp) and some ground cloves (⅛ tsp)

• 1 scoop of holi (mane)

• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract - for that creamy flavor

• Your choice of sweetener - we like a drizzle of maple syrup 

Method:

• Make your espresso the usual way

• Warm your milk until it’s hot, but don’t let it boil

• Pour the espresso into a mug, and add everything except the milk, then mix until it’s nicely blended - use a frother for this to help it double in volume for a nice, light texture

• Next, froth your milk to get some air in there too, until it looks foamy. 

• Add the frothed milk to the mug and spoon any leftover foam onto the top to make a cute cloud.

• Finish with a wisp of cinnamon, or a few 70% bittersweet chocolate shavings.

Speaking of little treats - I must take Federico & Giorgio for a pup cup. They are obsessed! Federico is more of a savoury guy but Giorgio loves his sweet treats. 

Have a great November, and a Happy Thanksgiving. Make that time for friends and family - and for yourself, whether it’s a healthy warm drink, or a luxurious hot bath. Your body and mind will thank you. 

Love, Jena x
