Summer is wonderful for the soul, but let’s be honest – all that sunshine, late nights, and maybe a few extra cocktails can leave your skin (and energy levels) feeling less than radiant. August is the perfect time to reset, recharge, and get back on track before autumn rolls in.
Here’s how to take a truly holistic approach – caring not just for your skin, but for your whole self.
1. Rehydrate from the Inside Out
Hot weather, travel, and outdoor activities can leave your skin parched and your body craving hydration.
Skin tip: Drink plenty of water, herbal teas, and incorporate water-rich foods like cucumber, berries, and watermelon.
In-clinic boost: Experience Skin Boosters like TEOSYAL® REDENSITY I, a hyaluronic acid-rich injectable that dramatically enhances hydration and collagen, helping your skin regain that plump, luminous glow.
2. Soothe Stress for a Healthy Glow
Late-summer schedules can be hectic, and stress shows up on your skin as breakouts, dullness, or flare-ups.
Practice calming rituals like yoga, meditation, or simple deep breathing.
In-clinic boost: Try a MediFacial by PCA Skin, such as the Oxygenating Trio to boost circulation and brighten or the Quench facial to deeply hydrate and calm sensitive skin.
3. Prioritise Restorative Sleep
Summer nights often mean later bedtimes – but quality sleep is your skin’s natural repair cycle.
Aim for 7–9 hours and create a cool, dark sleep environment.
Try winding down with magnesium, gentle stretches, or a warm shower.
In-clinic boost: Consider Profhilo, often called the “holy grail of skincare,” to intensely hydrate and remodel sagging tissue – perfect for post-summer rejuvenation.
4. Balance Your Hormones Naturally
Changes in routine, diet, and stress can all affect hormonal balance, which in turn impacts skin clarity and texture.
Support your hormones with nutrient-rich meals, regular exercise, and mindful stress management.
In-clinic boost: Use in-clinic blood testing to pinpoint nutritional or hormonal imbalances affecting your skin, and get a tailored treatment plan – possibly including skin rejuvenation or booster therapies.
5. Nourish Your Skin Barrier
After sun exposure and environmental stress, your skin barrier needs extra TLC.
Use gentle cleansers, barrier-restoring serums, and daily SPF.
In-clinic boost: SKINKO E, rich in hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and antioxidants, deeply hydrates, smooths roughness, repairs UV damage, and strengthens the barrier over a cycle of treatments.
August is the perfect time to refresh your habits, restore your skin, and rebalance your wellbeing. A little investment in yourself now can set you up to feel confident and energised heading into the new season.
