Summer is wonderful for so many reasons—but your skin may not always feel the same way.
Months of sun exposure, heat, humidity, sunscreen, sweat, travel, swimming and air conditioning can leave your skin feeling dehydrated, dull, congested or simply different than it did at the beginning of the season.
That’s why fall is such a good time to reassess your skincare routine and give your skin a reset.
At Body Beautiful Day Spa + Salon in Aurora, we see the change in seasons as an opportunity to take a closer look at what your skin actually needs right now. Sometimes that means focusing on hydration. Sometimes your skin needs gentle exfoliation and congestion relief. And sometimes the best approach is simply restoring balance and giving your skin some extra care.
How Summer Can Affect Your Skin
Even if you were diligent about sunscreen all summer, your skin can still experience changes from the combination of environmental exposure and your daily routine.
Sun exposure
Time in the sun can contribute to visible changes in the skin, including dryness, uneven-looking tone and increased appearance of pigmentation. While sunscreen is an essential part of protecting your skin, it doesn’t mean your skin won’t need some extra attention afterward.
Sweat and humidity
Hot, humid weather can increase sweating and make your skin feel oilier or more congested. Combined with sunscreen, makeup and other skincare products, this can create a buildup that leaves skin feeling less fresh.
Dehydration
Interestingly, skin can be both oily and dehydrated at the same time.
Heat, sun exposure, travel and air conditioning can all contribute to moisture loss, leaving skin feeling tight, rough or looking dull—even when you’re using products designed for oily or combination skin.
Changes to your routine
Summer often means vacations, late nights, outdoor activities and a less predictable skincare routine.
Maybe your regular exfoliation fell by the wayside. Maybe you were relying on a simpler routine while travelling. Or perhaps you simply haven’t had time for your usual facial.
There’s nothing wrong with that. Fall is a great time to get back into a consistent routine.
What Does a Skin Reset Actually Mean?
A “skin reset” doesn’t mean starting over with a dozen new products or subjecting your skin to an aggressive treatment.
In fact, more isn’t necessarily better.
A good reset starts with understanding what your skin needs now.
Professional facial treatments can be a helpful way to assess your skin after the summer months and address concerns such as:
- Dehydration
- Dullness
- Uneven-looking texture
- Surface buildup
- Congestion
- Dryness
- Lack of radiance
Your esthetician can then recommend a treatment and home-care routine that makes sense for your individual skin.
Why Professional Facials Can Help
One of the biggest benefits of receiving a professional facial is that your treatment can be adjusted based on the condition of your skin at the time of your appointment.
Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, your esthetician can determine whether your skin would benefit most from hydration, exfoliation, soothing ingredients, deep cleansing or a combination of approaches.
Professional treatments can also complement what you’re doing at home.
Think of your facial as the professional part of your skincare routine—and your home care as the maintenance that helps support those results between appointments.
A Few Fall Facial Options at Body Beautiful
If your skin is feeling like it needs a little extra attention after summer, we have several options at Body Beautiful.
Signature Radiance Facial
A great choice when your skin simply needs a fresh, healthy-looking glow. Your treatment can be tailored to your skin’s needs while providing the exfoliation, hydration and professional care that many complexions benefit from.
Hydraderm Vital Energy Facial
If dehydration and dullness are your biggest concerns, the Hydraderm Vital Energy Facial provides an upgraded Hydradermie experience designed to deliver hydration and revitalization.
The treatment incorporates advanced technology, including stronger ionization and thermal applicators, along with a time-released serum containing hyaluronic acid and vitamins B4, B5, C and E.
And for a limited time this fall, the Hydraderm Vital Energy Facial is $25 off.
Radiance Reset Bundle
Looking for more than just a facial?
Our Radiance Reset Bundle combines a Signature Radiance Facial with eyebrow shaping and a Spiced Cider Manicure for a complete fall refresh.
It’s an easy way to combine skincare with a little seasonal self-care—all in one appointment.
Don’t Forget Your Home Care
Your facial is only one part of your skincare routine.
The products you use at home every day can have a significant impact on how your skin looks and feels between professional treatments.
Fall is a particularly good time to reassess your home-care routine. Your skin may no longer need exactly what it needed during the hottest months of summer.
You may benefit from:
- A more nourishing moisturizer
- Additional hydration
- Adjusting your exfoliation routine
- Replacing products that aren’t working for your skin
- Reintroducing products you temporarily stopped using
- Being consistent with daily SPF
At Body Beautiful, we carry professional skincare products and can make personalized recommendations based on your skin and your goals.
The goal isn’t to sell you a shelf full of products. It’s to help you understand what your skin actually needs and create a routine you can realistically maintain.
Fall Is Also a Great Time to Think Long-Term
A seasonal facial can give your skin a nice refresh, but consistent professional skincare is where things can become more strategic.
Your skin changes over time. Weather changes. Hormones, lifestyle, stress and environmental factors can all influence how your skin behaves.
That’s one reason we offer our Radiance Club facial memberships.
Rather than waiting until your skin feels like it needs rescuing, regular treatments allow you to stay ahead of changing skin concerns and maintain a consistent routine.
Our memberships include regular facial treatments along with savings on skincare and select services. Most membership options are designed around a facial every two months, while monthly options can also be arranged for clients who prefer more frequent treatments.
