Autumn Skin Reset: Boost Hydration & Glow Before Winter
As the weather turns colder and central heating comes back on, you may start to notice changes in your skin — tightness, dullness, or sensitivity. October is when many clients feel like their skin “just isn’t itself.”
It’s also the perfect time for a seasonal reset.
At Milk & Honey, we’re here to help you transition your skincare and treatment plan to keep your glow going all the way through to winter.
🍂 What Happens to Skin in Autumn?
Your barrier function weakens as temperatures drop
Moisture levels dip due to central heating and wind
Circulation slows, reducing natural radiance
Skin may feel dry, red, or flaky, even if it was glowing in summer
Rather than trying to “fix” your skin later, now’s the time to support and strengthen it.
💧 Step 1: Increase Hydration Without Overloading
Focus on:
Hyaluronic acid serums (e.g. Environ HA Intensive)
Barrier-supporting moisturisers (with ceramides or Vitamin E)
Hydrating masks weekly
Omega-3 supplements like ANP Skin Omegas+
Pro tip: Layer a few drops of oil or serum under your moisturiser for extra protection.
🧖♀️ Step 2: Book a Facial to Rebalance & Rebuild
The most popular treatments in October include:
Environ Vitamin Infusion Facial — deeply hydrating & restorative
DMK Enzyme Therapy — rebuilds skin from within
CACI Hydratone Lift — hydration with lift and glow
LED Phototherapy — gentle, calming, glow-enhancing
We tailor every treatment to your skin’s current needs — and help prep it for the colder months ahead.
🔁 Step 3: Reintroduce Vitamin A (the Right Way)
Vitamin A is one of the most powerful ingredients for skin health — especially in autumn.
If you stopped using retinol or Vitamin A in the summer, October is a great time to reintroduce it (gently). We stock the full Environ range and can guide you through how to build up again without irritation.
🛍️ Step 4: Refresh Your Routine
This month, we recommend booking a consultation or popping in for a skincare chat if:
Your skin feels dry or sensitive
You’re not sure which moisturiser to use
You want to update your cleanser or mask for colder weather
You’ve never used serums but want to try
A few simple swaps can make a huge difference.
