Why September Is the Perfect Time to Restart Your Skin Treatments

Summer is wonderful for holidays, long evenings and spending more time outdoors — but your skin doesn’t always love it quite as much as you do.

By the time September arrives, months of sunshine, heat, SPF, sweat, travel and changes to our usual routines can leave skin feeling dehydrated, congested, dull or simply a little lacklustre.

That’s why September is a brilliant time to give your skin some attention again and restart your professional skin treatments.

Even when we’re diligent with SPF, increased sun exposure can have an impact on the skin. You may notice more pigmentation and uneven tone, while heat, air conditioning, swimming and travel can all contribute to dehydration.

Add heavier SPF products, makeup and perspiration into the mix and some people also experience increased congestion or breakouts.

By the end of summer, your skin may be telling you it’s ready for a reset.

There’s something about September that naturally feels like a fresh start.

The children go back to school, holidays begin to wind down and we start returning to our normal routines. It’s also the perfect opportunity to bring regular skincare and professional treatments back into your diary.

Rather than waiting until you suddenly want your skin looking amazing for Christmas, starting now gives us time to work gradually towards healthier, brighter-looking skin.

Time to bring back your more advanced treatments

Autumn is also when we can start thinking again about some of the more advanced skin treatments that may have taken a back seat during the height of summer.

At Changing Faces, treatments can be tailored to your individual skin and concerns, whether your goal is improving hydration and radiance, supporting skin texture, addressing pigmentation or simply giving tired-looking skin a boost.

Microneedling is a fantastic treatment for stimulating the skin’s natural renewal processes and can help improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores and some types of scarring.

For many clients, the best results come from a course of treatments rather than a one-off appointment, making September a great time to begin.

Sometimes your skin doesn’t need anything complicated — it just needs the right treatment for what it’s doing now.

A professional treatment can help us assess how your skin has changed over the summer and choose the most appropriate approach, rather than simply continuing with the same routine all year round.

Professional treatments work best alongside a consistent home routine.

As we move towards autumn, it can be worth reviewing your cleanser, moisturiser and active skincare and making sure your routine is still right for your skin.

And although summer may be coming to an end, SPF shouldn’t! UV exposure happens throughout the year, so daily sun protection remains an important part of looking after your skin.

You don’t need a complicated ten-step routine or endless treatments to look after your skin.

A good home routine, the right professional treatments and consistency can make a huge difference.

So, if your skincare has slipped a little over the holidays, your skin is looking tired after summer, or you’ve been meaning to restart your treatments for months, September is the perfect excuse.
