Post-Summer skin care – your holiday is over but don’t let your glow fade!

After months of increased sun exposure, higher temperatures, and environmental stressors, skin often presents with specific seasonal changes.

September is an important time to assess and adjust your post-summer skin care routine to support long-term skin health.

Common Post-Summer Skin Concerns:

• Hyperpigmentation & Sunspots: UV exposure stimulates excess melanin production.
• Dehydration: Heat, chlorine, and saltwater compromise the skin barrier, leading to transepidermal water loss.
• Textural Changes: Prolonged exposure to UV can accelerate collagen breakdown, contributing to fine lines and uneven texture.
• Congestion: Increased SPF use (when it’s not Alumier) and perspiration can lead to blocked pores.

Clinical recommendations for post-summer skin:

Barrier Repair – prioritise moisturisers rich in ceramides, peptides, and hyaluronic acid to restore the skin’s protective function.

Targeted Exfoliation – introduce controlled use of AHAs or BHAs to accelerate cellular turnover and refine texture.

Pigment Regulation – consider topical actives such as vitamin C.

Procedural Interventions – Autumn is an optimal time for in-clinic treatments:

• Chemical Peels (to address pigmentation and resurface the skin)
• Microneedling: (to stimulate collagen and elastin production)
• Skin Boosters

Key takeaway:

Seasonal transition provides a valuable opportunity for corrective treatment and prevention. By addressing post-summer concerns now, you can minimise long-term photo-ageing and maintain optimal skin function throughout autumn and winter.

We recommend scheduling a skin consultation this month to create a tailored treatment and home care plan.
