The cooler months are a time of renewal. A time to sweep away any summer skin sins that can lead to dead skin cell build-up, which in turn results in trapped oil and bacteria beneath the surface, increasing breakouts.
On top of this, it’s likely that you’ll be spending more time indoors and have begun to ramp up the central heating, so your skin will require more restoration and hydration.
Consider treatments that’ll deeply cleanse and exfoliate, such as Hydrafacial, and prepare for the harsher days ahead by removing dead cells and impurities.
To maintain your summer glow into the colder months, vitamin C will help to brighten and boost the skin, stimulating collagen production to retain more moisture and helping to protect from environmental damage.
Morpheus8 combines radio frequency at the same time as micro-needling to promote skin healing and resurfacing, and our range of brightening chemical peels is ideal for reducing sun damage and mild pigmentation.
Autumn is also the time to add retinol to your routine, because, while you definitely still need to be using SPF, UV rays are weaker, meaning you’re less likely to be at risk of hyperpigmentation or burning.
As the seasons change, it’s time to reflect on your skin’s needs and adapt your products to suit the weather.
Not sure where to start? Ask us about our autumn and winter skincare recommendations when next in the clinic and book a seasonal skin consultation so that we can talk in more detail about the best products to add to your routine, based on your specific concerns.
