Summer Skin SOS: How to Rehydrate, Repair & Calm Your Skin
Whether you’ve just returned 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 Belfast can help.
💧 Prioritise Deep Hydration
After sun exposure, travel and heat, 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
Advanced Nutrition Programme™ 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 until skin feels calm again.
☀️ Calm & Repair Your Skin Barrier
Your barrier is your skin’s first line of defence — and summer often weakens it.
Look for ingredients such as:
Ceramides
Vitamin E
Niacinamide
Aloe vera or panthenol for calming
We can help you build a recovery-focused routine that supports healing while keeping long-term results on track.
🎯 Target Post-Holiday Pigmentation
Sunspots or uneven tone can appear even with diligent SPF use.
To treat pigmentation, we recommend:
Vitamin A (Environ®) – rebuilds skin and reduces UV damage
Brightening serums with ascorbic acid, peptides or niacinamide
Professional treatments such as microneedling or enzyme therapy — but only once your skin has fully recovered
Want to tackle pigmentation properly? Let’s create a treatment plan for autumn.
