Summer Skin SOS: How to Rehydrate, Repair & Calm Your Skin
Whether you’ve just come back from a sun-soaked holiday or spent more time outdoors this summer, your skin might be showing the signs.
Dryness. Pigmentation. Breakouts. Sensitivity. Sound familiar?
August is the perfect time to repair and reset. Here’s how to bring your skin back into balance — and how Milk & Honey can help.
💧 1. Prioritise Deep Hydration
After sun exposure, travel, and heat, your skin is often dehydrated and depleted — even if it’s oily.
We recommend:
Hyaluronic acid serums to re-plump and rehydrate
Hydrating masks (Environ or DMK) once or twice a week
ANP Skin Omegas+ for internal barrier support
A simple, soothing routine: no harsh actives right away
Drink plenty of water, avoid long hot showers, and skip exfoliants for now.
☀️ 2. Calm & Repair Your Skin Barrier
Your barrier is your skin’s defence system — and summer often weakens it.
Look for products that include:
Ceramides
Vitamin E
Niacinamide
Aloe vera or panthenol for calming
We can help build a routine that supports your skin’s recovery while keeping results on track.
🎯 3. Target Post-Holiday Pigmentation
Sunspots or uneven skin tone can appear even with SPF.
For pigmentation, we recommend:
Vitamin A (Environ) — rebuilds skin and reduces sun damage
Brightening serums with ascorbic acid, peptides or niacinamide
Professional treatments like microneedling or enzyme therapy — but only once your skin has recovered fully
Want to tackle pigmentation properly? Let’s talk about a treatment plan for autumn.
🧖♀️ 4. Book a Post-Holiday Facial
A professional facial can help rehydrate, calm inflammation, and get you back on track.
Client favourites in August include:
Environ Vitamin Infusion Facial
DMK Enzyme Therapy (post-recovery)
CACI Hydratone Lift
LED Phototherapy
We’ll tailor your treatment to what your skin needs now.
