Shop the Transition Edit: The upgrades worth making right now.

A few months of heat, chlorine and travel take a toll on hair, hands and skin — this is what we'd restock first.

Starting off in the shower:

we’ve been loving the Fragile Reborn Repairing + Regenerating Hair Mask, once or twice a week as an intensive treatment — a blend of vegetable oils, butters and proteins, suitable for all hair types, built to repair and strengthen with visible results from the first use. Naturally scented with jujube, fig, bergamot and mangue! On the days you're not masking, Fragile Flow Nourishing + Glossing Conditioner does the daily work instead — over 98% natural, dermatologically tested, built on organic extracts and pure botanical oils. Run the Natchi Cupuacu Wet Comb through whichever one you've used — a plant-based cellulose acetate, wide-toothed, designed and built to detangle without pulling, so the treatment isn't fighting knots. Once you're out, on damp or dry hair: the Fragile Rise Texturizing + Volumising Wave Spray adds texture and hold with no heat tool required thanks to the same 98% + natural formula. 

For skin:

Hyeja Ginseng HPR Retinoid + Bakuchiol Nutrient Face Oil. HPR — hydroxypinacolone retinoate — is a retinoid ester that binds directly to skin receptors without needing to convert first, which is generally why it's considered a gentler way into retinoids than classic retinol. It's paired here with bakuchiol, a plant-derived retinol alternative, and 4% Panax Ginseng Seed Oil, formulated to support the skin barrier and seal in moisture while it works. Tested non-irritant by the Korea Institute of Dermatological Sciences, so it's built to suit sensitive skin too, not just tolerate it.

Suntegrity Moisturizing Self Tanner is what you’ll need to keep the tan you already worked for. It's DHA-based — the same tanning agent used across the clean self-tan category — blended with goji, acai, mangosteen, pomegranate and raspberry extracts, sweet almond, sunflower and coconut oils, and shea and mango butters, so the base moisturizes instead of drying out skin the way most self-tanners do. Exfoliate first, apply in circular motions, wait 8 hours before showering, and reapply once or twice a week to keep the color even. Worth saying plainly: it's not a sunscreen, so SPF still applies separately.

Then the everyday stuff

 Corpus Aromatic Hand Wash – Amalgam 7: skincare-grade oils, not a stripped-down soap base. Mani Anti-Aging Hand Cream +SPF 20: hands show wear first and most people skip SPF on them. This one absorbs fast enough that you'll actually reapply it.

None of this is about the season turning. It's about catching up on what the last few months put off.
