It’s time to hit reset. As the seasons (and the climate!) change, so should your skincare routine - and now’s the perfect time of year to refresh and rejuvenate parched post-summer skin.
The transition to cooler weather makes for the perfect opportunity to focus on repairing and rejuvenating your skin - reversing potential sun damage and optimising your complexion’s health ahead of the Christmas party season and New Year. At Emma Wedgwood Aesthetics, we offer a wide range of treatments, skincare products and personalised plans to help you do exactly that - and here’s some of our top picks.
Post-summer, your skin may be dehydrated, uneven and in need of some serious TLC. Emma’s first recommended step in post-summer skincare is to restore hydration and repair any damage. Incorporate a hydrating cleanser and rich moisturiser into your daily routine, and introduce a Vitamin C serum rich in antioxidants to brighten your complexion and combat sun-induced pigmentation. Retinoids are great to apply at night to encourage cell turnover, improving texture and reducing fine lines… and don’t forget to apply your SPF daily, even if it’s cloudy! The sun’s UV rays are always present - and sun damage is the leading cause of premature signs of ageing.
Suffering with sun damage and hyperpigmentation? If you’re looking for an at-home solution to tackle post-summer pigmentation, the Obagi NuDerm system (available by prescription only) is perfect to minimise signs of skin ageing, address dark spots, eradicate hyperpigmentation, reduce fine lines & wrinkles and to protect skin tone and texture. Its effective, prescription only 4% hydroquinone formula helps correct hyperpigmentation (think:dark spots, sun spots, age spots, melasma and other types of discolouration) leaving you with a healthier-looking, more even skin tone.
Emma can prescribe the right treatments and products for your complexion (and any skin conditions you have) so that you know that you’re looking after your skin in the right way, every single day - regardless of season.
No two complexions are the same, which is why personalised skincare that addresses your unique skin type and concerns is so important. Emma offers bespoke skincare consultations to assess your skin’s specific needs; where she’ll discuss your concerns and complexion goals with you in order to devise a bespoke skincare plan. Whether you need to focus on hydration, hyperpigmentation or overall rejuvenation, Emma’s expertise will ensure you’re using the right products and booking the most suitable treatments to address your concerns and achieve your post-summer skin goals.
Laser Treatments: Halo BBL for Post-Summer Skin Damage
If summer has left you with sunspots, redness, hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tone, laser treatments like Halo BBL at Emma Wedgwood Aesthetics (BroadBand Light) can be incredibly effective. Halo BBL targets sun damage and hyperpigmentation, helping to even out your complexion and promote a smoother, more youthful appearance. This treatment works by delivering light energy deep into the skin, stimulating collagen production and reducing the appearance of sun damage. Halo BBL is an extremely versatile treatment - meaning whether you’re looking for laser treatments for face, laser treatments to remove sun spots, laser treatments to shrink pores, laser treatments to remove dark spots or laser treatments for hyperpigmentation… Emma can help.
Chemical peels are another excellent option for rejuvenating post-summer skin. Peels work by exfoliating the outer layers of dead skin cells; revealing fresh, healthy skin underneath. These treatments can help to address issues like uneven skin tone, rough texture and fine lines; leaving your skin renewed and radiant. We love the Perfect Peel at Emma Wedgwood Aesthetics - and the best options for your skin type and concerns can be discussed during consultation.
Microneedling with exosomes is a cutting-edge treatment, combining the numerous benefits of microneedling with the regenerative power of exosomes. This treatment stimulates collagen production, improves texture and promotes skin healing; making it an ideal choice in addressing post-summer skin concerns. Combining microneedling with exosomes supercharges the treatment’s effects, accelerating skin repair and delivering powerful anti-ageing benefits.
