November Glow & Gather Brunch: Fall to Winter Skin Reset
Details
## Fall to Winter Skin Reset
As the season cools, our skin asks for different care. This month we’ll explore how to protect melanin-rich skin as we move from fall into winter: with warmth, science, and sisterhood.
### What we’ll cover
- Fall: Winter shift: Why dryness, tightness, and dullness spike now
- Hydration vs. Moisturization: Layering that actually works (humectants • emollients • occlusives)
- Barrier Repair Basics: Ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids, and how to read a label
- Simple Ritual Swap: One change you can make this week for steadier glow
### Who it’s for
- Black and Brown women on Long Island seeking real connection and melanin-safe skin health
- Women who prefer truth over trends and community over pretension
### Practicals
- When: Sunday, Nov 16, 12:00–2:00 PM (we meet every 3rd Sunday)
- Where: The Shed – Westbury, 685 Merrick Ave, Westbury, NY 11590
- Cost: No ticket fee. Each guest covers her own meal/drink.
- Bring: An open heart, your questions, and a small notebook if you like
- Photos: Optional and unfiltered; consent first, always
