Autumn – The Season to repair and Rejuvenate the Skin
So here we are, rapidly approaching Autumn. The children are back at school and the nights are drawing in. Although it may feel like the end of summer has come around quickly, there are wonderful things to look forward to with the season changes, like the wonderful colours of autumn, halloween & bonfire night celebrations. For our skin, Autumn is the season for repair and rejuvenate skin.
We often discuss how to prep for the summer, but we also need to think about what how to rejuvenate after the holidays. We may have had a little too much sun, and some pigment has appeared from nowhere, or it is a little dry or dehydrated.
Good news! We have several treatments and advanced medical strength skincare to help the repair process.
EXFOLIATING PEEL PADS FROM SKINBETTER
Skin peel pads are an excellent choice for exfoliating the skin in autumn, when cooler temperatures and reduced humidity can lead to a buildup of dry, dull skin. As part of a skin rejuvenation routine, peel pads help to gently dissolve dead skin cells and unclog pores using active ingredients like glycolic or salicylic acid, revealing a brighter, smoother complexion underneath. This not only improves skin texture and radiance but also prepares the skin to better absorb nourishing serums and moisturisers. With summer sun damage fading and winter dryness on the horizon, autumn is the ideal time to reset the skin with gentle, consistent exfoliation.
Have a home peel using these amazing Alpharet pads from Skinbetter which exfoliate the dry and dead skin cells, leaving your skin smooth and bright.
ADD AN ANTIOXIDANT TO YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE
Using an antioxidant in autumn is especially beneficial as it helps protect the skin from environmental stressors like pollution and lingering UV damage from the summer months. As the seasons change and the skin adjusts to cooler, drier air, antioxidants such as vitamin C or ferulic acid work to neutralise free radicals, support collagen production, and brighten the complexion. They also help strengthen the skin’s barrier, making it more resilient against seasonal changes and better able to retain moisture. Incorporating an antioxidant into your autumn skincare routine is a powerful way to maintain a healthy, radiant glow as the weather turns.
Antioxidants such as our own SW 20% Vitamin C or Skin Better Alto Advanced containing 19 different antioxidants will defend and repair your skin.
HYDRATE WITH SW QUENCH
Using a hyaluronic acid-based hydrating serum in autumn is ideal because it helps counteract the seasonal drop in humidity that can leave skin feeling dry, tight, and depleted. As temperatures cool, the skin often struggles to retain moisture, and hyaluronic acid is a powerful humectant that draws water into the skin and keeps it there. This helps to maintain a plump, smooth, and hydrated complexion, supporting the skin barrier and enhancing the effectiveness of other skincare products. Incorporating a hydrating serum at this time of year helps prepare your skin for the harsher winter months and keeps it looking fresh and healthy throughout autumn.
We have several different types of hyaluronic acid to suit your skin including SW Quench which is our best seller.
OBAGI NUDERM SYSTEM
The Obagi Nu-Derm System is considered the ultimate skincare regime for pigmentation because it targets the problem at a cellular level, rather than just treating surface symptoms. Formulated with prescription-strength ingredients like hydroquinone and tretinoin (in the RX system), it works by accelerating cell turnover and inhibiting melanin production to visibly reduce dark spots, melasma, and sun damage. The system is designed to penetrate deeply into the skin, correcting uneven tone and texture while improving overall clarity and brightness. With a structured, step-by-step approach that includes cleansing, exfoliation, correction, and protection, the Nu-Derm System not only fades existing pigmentation but also helps prevent future discoloration, making it a comprehensive and clinically proven solution for hyperpigmented skin.

SKIN PEELS & MICRONEEDLING
Skin peels can penetrate different depths of the skin. From superficial peels, used for refreshing and brightening of the skin, to medium depth peels which penetrate deeper to treat pigmentation and acne scarring.
Skin peels can be used in conjunction with other treatments such as microneedling for the ultimate in post summer skin rejuvenation. We have our new XCellaris Pro microneedling machine which is super comfortable and relatively pain free.
HYDRAFACIAL
Hydrafacial treatments are great for hydration and glow as well as declogging the skin of dead skin cells and blackheads. We all love a Hydrafacial at any time of the year, with boosters to treat pigment, rosacea, or anti-aging. The Hydrafacial can also be combined with radiofrequency to give the ultimate skin pick me up.
