As the golden days of summer start to fade away, it’s time to look after and
revive our sun-kissed skin. The transition from summer to autumn can be a
challenging period for your skin. Exposure to the sun, saltwater, and other
environmental factors during your summer holiday can leave your skin in
need of some serious TLC. Let’s explore how to revive your skin after a
summer holiday, prepare it for the upcoming autumn and winter seasons,
and shed light on the range of injectable treatments available in the UK to
help you recover your skin as well as achieve radiant and youthful skin.
Part I: Reviving Your Skin After a Summer Holiday
Hydration is Key:
After sun exposure, your skin is most likely to become dehydrated and lose
its natural moisture. You can rehydrate your skin by drinking plenty of water,
using hydrating skincare products, and incorporating serums as well as
moisturising masks into your routine.
Exfoliation:
Not all of us would want to exfoliate as we would want our tan to last as
long as it can but remember gently exfoliating your skin can help remove
dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, giving your skin a fresh, youthful
glow. Be sure to choose a suitable exfoliant for your skin type to avoid
irritation and remember you can always use a self-tan!
Repair Sun Damage:
Prolonged sun exposure can lead to sunspots, fine lines, and premature
aging. Consider using products containing antioxidants like vitamins C and
E, retinoids, and hyaluronic acid to repair and rejuvenate your skin.
Protect and Prevent
Summer or winter, it’s important to continue using sunscreen every day,
a few times a day. Sunscreen not only protects your skin from harmful UV
rays but also helps maintain the results of your skincare routine.
Switch to a Heavier Moisturiser:
As the weather cools down, your skin will be better with a thicker, more
nourishing moisturizer to combat dryness and retain moisture. If you have
oily skin you can find oil-free moisturiser.
Incorporate Serums:
Serums enriched with hydrating and protective ingredients, such as
hyaluronic acid and peptides, can help fortify your skin’s barrier against
autumn and winter weather conditions.
Humidifier:
Consider using a humidifier in your home especially when you start to turn
on the heating to prevent the dry indoor air from sapping your skin’s
moisture during the colder months.
Lip and Hand Care:
Don’t forget to pamper your lips and hands, which can become dry and
chapped in the autumn and winter. Apply lip balm and hand cream regularly
to keep them soft and supple.
Treatments at the Clinic

reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It works by relaxing facial
muscles, giving you a smoother, more youthful look.
Dermal Fillers:
Dermal fillers, such as hyaluronic acid-based products, can add volume to
your skin, plumping up areas that have lost elasticity and firmness. They can
be used to enhance lips, fill in deep lines, and restore lost facial volume.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy:
PRP therapy involves using your own blood plasma, which is rich in growth
factors, to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate your skin. It’s a
natural way to achieve a radiant complexion.

Micro-needling treatments create controlled micro-injuries in the skin,
promoting collagen production and improving the skin’s texture and tone. It
