Skincare and beauty expert and the owner of 'Skincare by Alana' has announced her must-have products for the fall season. Alana's Fall 2012 “5 to Survive” list features items which everyone requires in order to achieve glowing and healthy skin, irrespective of the weather.

During the fall, skin becomes very dull and dry and tends to lose its natural moisture and nourishments. Thus, it becomes very important to supplement the skin with various products that help it retain moisture and essential oils. These supplements lead to a glowing and well-nourished skin.

'Skincare by Alana' is an interactive and customized shopping destination for skincare products. Launched in 2008 by Alana Mitchell, it features organic and natural skincare products and hard-to-find spa cosmetics that most e-commerce stores do not sell.

“I put every product I include in my store through the ringer –each one is tried, evaluated and then judged on its effectiveness, value and unique properties. Of course there are always unique needs for every individual. We encourage everyone who visits my online store to speak directly with a skincare expert who I have trained so they can get a personalized consultation before they choose what is right for them,” says Mitchell.

Alana's “5 To Survive” products for Fall 2012 include:
- Deborah Lippmann Just Walk Away Rene Lacquer created by Renee Zellweger. Priced at $16, the Berry Black Cherry color is fit for the season, according to Mitchell.

- The Rhonda Allison Pumpkin Cleanser is a nighttime cleanser that leaves the skin clean and bright. The product is priced at $33.

- La Bella Donna Baci Baci Incredibly Beautiful is a pink-purple lip gloss and suits all skin colors. The product retails at $26.50 and has also won the Best Colored Mineral Lipgloss at the 2012 New Beauty Awards.

- Supersmile Quikee Instant Whitening Polish, a stain-removing formula for whiter teeth and fresher breath. 30 applications of this products cost $18.

- Epicuren Pumpkin Spice Apple Peel, a home spa treatment that minimizes pores, exfoliates and leaves skin bright and clear.

“I constantly test the majority of the skincare products that are on the market and I receive the newest skincare treatments all the time, so I am incredibly choosy when it comes to what I'll make available to my customers. In this list, I've selected the absolute best of the best,” Mitchell says about short-listing products for her “Five to Survive” range.

These must-have products are also available at discounted rates when bought as a set.
