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.
