The Most Common Skin Mistakes People Make at the End of Summer
This guide identifies the common pitfalls of post summer skincare and explains how to transition your routine as the Melbourne weather cools.
It provides professional advice on repairing sun damage and timing your aesthetic treatments for the best results.
Here are the topics we cover:
- Risks of over exfoliating fragile sun kissed skin.
- Addressing deep dehydration and summer pigmentation.
- Benefits of starting autumn laser hair removal.
- Professional skin treatments at Laser Clinics Australia.
We have all enjoyed long summer afternoons in the Melbourne sun, but by the time March rolls around, your skin may start to show the receipts. If you’re searching for a trusted cosmetic clinic in Prahran to help fix sun damage as we come to the end of summer, you’re on the right track.
Summer is tough on our skin barrier (aka microbiome), and the transition into cooler months is when most people unintentionally make their skin issues worse. Pran Central offers professional laser hair removal in Prahran, along with all the post summer treatments you will need at Laser Clinics Australia.
Let’s explore the most common skin mistakes to avoid at the end of summer and how to reset your routine for the new season.
Why is Over Exfoliating Your Sun Kissed Skin a Bad Idea?
It is tempting to scrub away a fading tan or dry patches, but your skin is likely more fragile than it looks. Aggressive scrubbing causes micro-tears and increases sensitivity on your already parched skin. Here are alternative options to help you resurface safely:
- Hydration First: Your skin needs to replenish its water content before you start using active acids or heavy peels.
- Professional Exfoliation: Microdermabrasion removes dead skin and boosts circulation for brighter and smoother skin without further damaging the barrier.
- LED Light Therapy: Book a yellow LED therapy session at the cosmetic clinic in Prahran to speed up healing, improve collagen production and hydrate your skin.
Are You Ignoring the Signs of Deep Dehydration and Pigmentation?
That healthy glow you had in Summer might actually be a sign of underlying damage. Ignoring sun damage can lead to premature ageing and persistent dark spots that become harder to treat over time. Here is how to repair and protect your complexion at home and in the clinic:
- Thicker Moisturisers: Switch to a richer face cream to trap moisture in your skin as the Melbourne weather starts to get drier.
- Daily Vitamin C: Use a Vitamin C serum to help fade sunspots and protect your skin from dirt and pollution.
- Pigmentation Removal: Clear away age spots and discoloured patches with medical grade treatments at a cosmetic clinic in Prahran, like Laser Clinics Australia.
Why You Should Book Laser Hair Removal in Prahran Now!
Many people wait until spring to think about getting smooth skin, but the end of summer is actually the perfect time to start laser hair removal in Prahran. Starting now means you can complete your course of sessions before summer returns.
Here is why the cooler months are the best time for laser treatments:
- Less Sun Exposure: The weaker autumn sun protects your treated skin and ensures the laser can safely target hair follicles without interference from a fresh tan.
- The Countdown to Summer: Starting your course straight after summer gives you the 6-10 months required for you to be hair free by the time beach season returns.
- Seasonal Planning: The experts at Laser Clinics create a schedule that allows your skin to recover in the comfort of long sleeves and trousers while the weather is mild.
