It's officially fall! One of the perks of working at OSEA is getting to swipe, spray and sample many different products in our line. After a few weeks away in August, we're back and soaking up the cooler season with a seaweed mask that leaves our skin clarified and fresh, a bio-retinol serum that visibly smooths your entire body, and other glowing-skin essentials. Ahead, everything that Alena, Elizabeth, Adrienne and Melissa are loving this month.

Current Obsession: Seaglow Resurfacing Scrub
Why you’re loving it:
As someone with sometimes sensitive skin, it's been tricky to find an exfoliator that doesn't irritate or dry out my complexion. The Seaglow Resurfacing Scrub is pure magic. It incorporates both physical and chemical exfoliants to gently smooth and polish away dull, uneven skin, as well as minimize the look of pores. I love the warm jasmine scent too; it's such a treat to unwind and exfoliate after a long day.
Favorite fall ritual:
My favorite season! I love switching up my whole wardrobe, pulling out the brown, burgundy, and green grandpa sweaters to match the trees and fully lean into the coziness of fall. Being in the hustle and bustle of NYC, I always use the fall foliage as an excuse to head upstate, take a nice hike, and enjoy the last weeks of farmer's markets and cideries before they close for the winter (small towns really go all out with fall festivals before winter hits). It's also the perfect time to switch to OSEA's Undaria Algae™ Body Butter for that extra layer of hydration heading into the cooler months.

Current Obsession: Dream Bio-Retinol Body Serum
Why you’re loving it:
I’ve spent a lot of time outdoors in the sun this summer, which has been great for my mood and vitamin D levels, less so for my skin. I started using Dream Bio-Retinol Body Serum nightly a couple of months ago, and I swear I saw an improvement in my skin almost overnight. It’s made with a potent cocktail of red seaweed and algae-derived bio-retinol, a safer retinol alternative that visibly firms and smooth lines and wrinkles on your body. Over the course of several weeks, I’ve noticed improvement in the horizontal lines on my neck.
My nighttime routine goes something like this: I climb into bed, (my husband is already snoring), and massage Dream Bio-Retinol Body Serum onto my neck, chest, arms and legs. The soothing lavender scent mellows me out, so after ten minutes of reading my book (currently loving Strangers by Belle Burden), I’m fading. I swear the magnesium and lavender have something to with it.
Favorite fall ritual:
For me, it’s not really fall until I’ve plucked an apple from a nearby orchard, or planted bulbs in my garden for next spring’s flowers. One of the highlights of living in the Midwest is that the foliage is so spectacular. I live across from a state park with sweeping views of Sumac, Red Oak, and Dogwood trees in all their autumnal glory.

Current Obsession: Undaria Algae™ Body Oil
Why you’re loving it:
Every time I smooth on Undaria Algae™ Body Oil, I genuinely wish I could bathe in it. This wish intensifies when the cooler-weather starts to hit LA, and I crave warm, cozy baths before bed. While I could technically bathe in it, I instead apply the silky oil all over after I shower. It moisturizes deeply but leaves no trace on your skin other than a radiant glow. And the scent is so fantastic–a mix of grapefruit, lime, cypress, mango and mandarin–that sometimes I forget about the benefits (improving elasticity and moisturization) until I look at my skin.
Recently I wore it out with my husband and our dog, Mango on a walk at Venice Beach. The still-warm autumn breeze blew across my skin: “What smells so good?” a passerby wanted to know. My skin was silky-soft, I smelled good, and felt good. What could be better than that?
Favorite fall ritual:
The seasonal shift from summer to fall in LA is subtle. But I still love pulling out a turtleneck as the days get shorter and temperatures fall. By September, the summer crowds have dwindled, so wrapping up in cozy knits and being near the ocean is my weekend meditation. I also cook more in the fall - soups, stews and pies.

Current Obsession: Red Algae Clarifying Mask
Why you’re loving it:
I've been a longtime fan of OSEA products, but I was curious to try the Red Algae Clarifying Mask, a bestseller since 1996. This one focuses on balancing oil production and decongesting skin, both of which are ideal for keeping my oily skin in check during the transition from summer to fall. I love how my skin looks so renewed and fresh after using it. It’s also my go-to for when I’m having hormonal breakouts.
Favorite fall ritual:
After weeks of heat waves, I’m so ready for all things fall. I love to take long walks in the evenings and drink steaming mugs of something spiced on my porch with my daughter.
As the weather cools down, my favorite way to reset is with long, hot baths. OSEA’s Vagus Nerve Bath Oil has earned a spot on my bath ledge thanks to the soothing chamomile, juniper, lavender, and rosemary scent and skin-softening apricot and avocado oils.
