Gretta's Got It: Fall beauty rehab routine

If dull, dry and damaged is how you describe your skin and hair, then it's time to freshen up for fall. Tonight, our style reporter Gretta Monahan is here with her "Fall Beauty Rehab Routine."

If your hair and skin are suffering from all that summer fun, then you are in need of what I call a fall beauty rehab.

So, let's start by bringing back those luscious locks by repairing damaged hair.

The first thing you'll need to do is to get your hair back in shape. This season is simple: cut it!

The sun and salt wreak havoc on our hair, especially on color treated strands, so even a trim will give you an instant lift and shine.

While daily conditioning is always a post summer salon treatment, it will restructure revitalize and strengthen your hair.

So treat your tresses by giving them the treatment. It's a great way to replenish the moisture stolen by the summer sun.

Treatments like this range in price from $25 to $85, so there's something for every budget.

The summer months are hardest on our skin, so the first line of defense is to exfoliate.

To strip away all that summer damage, start with a peel.

Microdermabrasion is another way. They both work by removing dead and dry skin, and soften fine lines revealing a new you. If you are a girl on the go, these exfoliating pads by Peter Thomas Roth are your skin's must have! They cleanse your skin and even give your skin a few essential vitamins. So once you revealed that new fall glow, it's time to re-hydrate. There's no better way to do that than with a relaxing and revitalizing fall facial. But if you can't sit still, there are plenty of products from pharmacies to department stores that will re-new and freshen up lifeless skin.
Want a beauty boost? This is one of the best things around.

The Beauty Booster by Trish McEvoy, this my secret weapon to awaking fatigued dull skin.
And the final trick in our fall rehab change up your makeup!

Add soft autumn hues for eyes, lips and cheeks. But before that blush brush hits your face, it's time to change your foundation.

You used this one for summer. Do see how it's a lot darker? This foundation color just blends into your skin.

OK, so not all of us are ready to say goodbye to the summer looking skin. So if you still need a summer glow, make it faux.
