Seasonal Changes In Skincare

Just like your wardrobe changes with the seasons, your skin has unique needs throughout the year. At Escape Aesthetics, we recognise that skin faces different environmental challenges as the weather shifts. Dry winter air, summer sun, and springtime allergens all affect skin health in unique ways. That’s why we tailor our treatments to help your skin adapt and thrive, whether it’s frigid winter winds or hot, sunny days. Dive into our seasonal skincare guide and discover how our expert treatments can keep your skin radiant and resilient, every month of the year.

Winter: Hydrate and Restore

Cold, dry winter air combined with indoor heating can be brutal on your skin, leaving it dry, dull, and even irritated. Winter skincare should be focused on deep hydration and restoration to combat these harsh conditions. Without adequate moisture, the skin’s barrier weakens, making it more susceptible to irritation, redness, and fine lines. Hydration is not just about drinking water but ensuring the skin retains moisture.

Top Winter Treatment: HydraFacial + LED Light Therapy

• HydraFacial is a multi-step treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin, leaving it refreshed and radiant. It’s the perfect remedy for winter dryness, as it infuses the skin with potent serums that lock in moisture.
• Adding LED Light Therapy further enhances the benefits. LED lights, especially red and blue wavelengths, promote circulation and healing. Red light reduces inflammation and stimulates collagen production, which is vital for maintaining skin elasticity and strength in colder months. Blue light helps reduce acne bacteria, which can sometimes worsen due to changes in skin hydration.

This powerful combo keeps your skin resilient and smooth, helping it fight off the dehydrating effects of winter. You’ll leave feeling rejuvenated and with a glowing, hydrated complexion.

Winter Skincare Tips:

• Use a rich, nourishing moisturiser: Opt for cream-based products that provide a thicker barrier against the cold air.
• Don’t skip SPF: Just because it’s cold doesn’t mean the sun isn’t out. UV rays can still penetrate clouds and windows, so be sure to protect your skin daily.
• Add a humidifier to your home or office: It helps add moisture back into the air, benefiting both your skin and overall health.

Spring: Detox and Brighten

As nature wakes up from winter, your skin deserves a fresh start too. Spring is the ideal time to detox and clear out the buildup that winter leaves behind. Pores can become clogged with dry skin and environmental pollutants, leaving a dull complexion. Spring skincare should focus on exfoliation and renewal to reveal a brighter, more vibrant complexion.

Top Spring Treatment: Skin Peels

• Skin Peels are incredibly effective for shedding dead skin cells, improving skin texture, and evening out tone. They’re particularly helpful for reducing pigmentation and clearing any lingering dullness. We offer a range of peels with varying strengths to suit your skin’s needs, from gentle exfoliation to deeper resurfacing.
• For those new to peels, we recommend starting with a mild glycolic or lactic acid peel to gently refresh the skin. For those looking for a more significant transformation, a TCA peel can deeply exfoliate, helping to reduce acne scars, fine lines, and pigmentation.

After a skin peel, you’ll notice an immediate improvement in brightness and smoothness. Your complexion will look renewed and ready for the warm, fresh spring days ahead.

Spring Skincare Tips:

• Incorporate antioxidants, like Vitamin C, to protect skin from environmental damage and boost radiance.
• Stay hydrated as temperatures rise, helping your skin stay fresh and plump.
• Switch to lighter textures for daytime products, especially as humidity levels increase, to prevent clogged pores.

Summer: Protect and Soothe

With summer comes intense sun exposure, sweat, and increased oil production. Hot weather and UV rays can cause sun damage, clogged pores, and dehydration. During the summer, the focus should be on protection, oil control, and maintaining hydration without heavy layers. Our summer treatments are designed to give you a radiant glow without the risk of irritation or downtime.

Top Summer Treatment: Laser Genesis

• Laser Genesis is a non-invasive laser treatment that gently heats the skin to stimulate collagen production, reduce redness, and improve overall skin texture. It’s the ideal choice for summer because it doesn’t involve any peeling or downtime, so you won’t need to hide from the sun.
• Unlike deeper lasers, Laser Genesis is gentle enough to be performed year-round, making it an excellent option for maintaining your skin’s health and glow without any interruption to your summer plans. It targets fine lines, large pores, and uneven texture, leaving your skin with a natural, sun-kissed glow.

Laser Genesis is sometimes called the “lunchtime laser” because it’s quick, effective, and leaves no signs of redness or irritation. Perfect for those summer months when you want to look great without waiting for recovery.

Summer Skincare Tips:

• Apply SPF 30 or higher daily, reapplying every 2 hours when outdoors.
• Switch to lightweight, oil-free moisturisers to avoid clogging pores.
• Use after-sun care products with ingredients like aloe vera or green tea to soothe and cool your skin after sun exposure.

Autumn: Repair and Rejuvenate

After a long summer, your skin might be showing signs of sun damage like pigmentation, dryness, and fine lines. Autumn is the time to repair and rejuvenate your skin, preparing it for the colder months ahead. Treatments in autumn should focus on reversing sun damage, boosting hydration, and building resilience for the winter.

Top Autumn Treatment: Microneedling with PRP

• Microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is a powerhouse treatment for skin rejuvenation. The microneedling device creates tiny punctures in the skin, which encourages collagen production and allows for better absorption of PRP. The PRP, derived from your own blood, is packed with growth factors that help repair damage and promote healing.
• This treatment is especially effective for reducing pigmentation, sun spots, and fine lines that may have developed over the summer. It’s an advanced method for improving skin texture, tone, and elasticity, leaving your skin refreshed and repaired.

The combined benefits of microneedling and PRP are long-lasting, making it a top choice to prepare your skin for the winter months. With each session, your skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more radiant.

Autumn Skincare Tips:

• Introduce retinol gradually to encourage cell turnover and improve skin tone.
• Start using hydrating serums that contain hyaluronic acid to prep for winter dryness.
• Avoid harsh scrubs as the skin may be sensitive after summer exposure; opt for gentle exfoliants.

Year-Round: Monthly Maintenance with HydraTight

No matter the season, regular maintenance treatments help keep your skin healthy and glowing. Consistency is key in skincare, and a monthly visit can work wonders in keeping your skin balanced and radiant through all seasonal shifts.

Monthly Maintenance Treatments: HydraTight

• HydraTight is our signature combination of HydraFacial and Laser Genesis. HydraFacial delivers deep hydration, exfoliation, and infusion of antioxidants, while Laser Genesis stimulates collagen and smooths the skin’s texture. Together, these treatments are the ultimate monthly maintenance for glowing, firm skin.
• The combination allows you to continually address multiple skin needs, such as dryness, uneven tone, and aging signs, all in one session. HydraTight is designed to be gentle enough for regular use while delivering transformative results that only improve with each session.

This year-round approach ensures that your skin always looks its best, regardless of the weather.

Benefits of Monthly Maintenance:

• Increases hydration levels, making your skin less reactive to seasonal changes.
