Summer is rough on the body, and September is when you find out. The hair that feels like straw, the legs that go dry two minutes out of the shower, the congestion and breakouts showing up on a face that was fine in June. That’s not you falling apart. That’s three or four months of sun, chlorine, salt water, and air conditioning finally adding up to something visible, and right now is the window to deal with it before dry cold air piles on top.

In this episode, Monti goes head to toe: what summer did to your hair, skin, and body; how to undo summer damage while it’s still easy; and what needs to change in your routine now that the season has turned. Real products, real reasons, no chemistry lecture. Plus one thing at the end that belongs on every glow-up list and never makes it onto one.
