As summer fades and the cool air of fall settles in, your skincare routine needs a refresh to keep your complexion glowing. The changing seasons bring new challenges for your skin—cooler temperatures, less humidity, and the lingering effects of sun exposure. To keep skin healthy and vibrant, it’s essential to adjust your skincare regimen accordingly. The experts at Images Med Spa, with seven locations across Chicago, Wilmette, Hinsdale, and beyond, know exactly what your skin needs during this seasonal shift.
One of the most effective ways to rejuvenate your skin after months of sun exposure is through chemical peels. After a summer of soaking up the sun, your skin can often become dull, uneven, and dehydrated. Chemical peels provide a solution by gently exfoliating the surface layer of your skin to reveal a brighter, smoother complexion underneath. In addition to removing dead skin cells, peels stimulate collagen production, which helps maintain a youthful glow. Since skin takes around 28 days to fully regenerate, scheduling a peel every 4-6 weeks ensures continuous rejuvenation, making it a powerful tool in addressing fine lines and pigmentation.
As we move further into fall, it’s also the perfect time to take advantage of laser treatments. The summer sun often leaves behind unwanted pigmentation and sunspots, and laser treatments are designed to target these issues directly. Unlike chemical peels, which address surface concerns, lasers penetrate deeper layers of the skin to treat dark spots, acne scars, and fine lines. Since laser-treated skin needs protection from the sun’s harsh rays, fall and winter offer the ideal conditions for recovery, making it the perfect “laser season” to start addressing these post-summer skin concerns.
While treatments like chemical peels and lasers help reset your skin, daily skincare habits are equally important in maintaining these results. As cooler weather sets in, the skin’s moisture barrier becomes more vulnerable to dryness and dehydration. To combat this, incorporating hydrating products into your routine is essential. Hyaluronic acid, like the HA Immerse Serum offered by Images Med Spa, delivers instant hydration, plumping and smoothing the skin to counteract fall’s drying effects. Following up with a rich moisturizer helps lock in hydration and ensures long-lasting moisture throughout the day.
Even as the days grow shorter and cooler, it’s important to remember that sun protection is still a year-round necessity. Though the sun may seem less intense, its UV rays can still cause significant damage to your skin, which is why sunscreen should remain a staple in your routine.
