Autumn Skin Reset: How to Repair and Rehydrate Your Skin at BV Aesthetics Birmingham

As the leaves start to turn and the air gets cooler, your skin begins to feel the change too. After months of sun exposure, travel and humidity, it’s common to notice dryness, dullness or uneven texture appearing around this time of year.

October is the perfect time to reset your skin and strengthen your barrier with personalised treatments at BV Aesthetics in Birmingham.

🍂 Why Your Skin Struggles in Autumn

During summer, UV rays, heat and dehydration can leave behind damage that becomes more visible as temperatures drop. Then autumn hits and the combination of colder air, indoor heating and lower humidity pulls moisture from your skin.The result is tightness, flakiness, sensitivity and a loss of that radiant glow.

Your skin barrier, the protective layer that keeps moisture in and irritants out, needs some extra care and nourishment to stay strong this season.

💧 How to Repair and Rehydrate Your Skin Barrier

Focus on hydrating and barrier-restoring treatments while easing off on anything too harsh or stripping.

Clinic treatments I recommend:

• HydroFacial or BV Signature Facial: Deep cleansing, exfoliation and hydration in one. Ideal for dull or dehydrated skin.

• Skin Boosters such as Profhilo, Revive or Polynucleotides to replenish moisture and improve elasticity from within.

• RF Microneedling: Stimulates collagen to smooth texture, tighten and firm the skin.

• LED Light Therapy: Calms inflammation and supports repair. A gentle but powerful treatment through autumn and winter.

• Gentle Chemical Peels: Encourage cell renewal and help fade pigmentation left behind from summer sun.

  
  

At-home skincare essentials:

• Use a hydrating cleanser to avoid stripping your barrier. (Recommendation: Alumier MD Hydraboost cleanser)

• Apply a Vitamin C serum to brighten and protect. (Recommendation Alumier MD EverActive C&E)

• Add a hydrating serum to restore comfort and moisture. (Recommendation Alumier MD Ultimate Boost Serum)

• Always wear SPF, even in autumn, as UV rays are still present.

  
  

Refresh Your Routine

A great autumn skincare routine focuses on nourishment and prevention.Think of it as pressing reset by replacing lighter summer products with richer hydrators and antioxidants that protect and repair.

If you’re unsure what your skin needs, book a skincare consultation at BV Aesthetics in Birmingham and I’ll tailor your routine to your skin type and lifestyle.

🌸 A Note for Menopause Awareness Month

October is also Menopause Awareness Month and it’s a timely reminder that hormonal changes can have a big impact on your skin. As oestrogen levels drop, skin often becomes drier, thinner and less elastic, and you might notice increased sensitivity, dullness or fine lines appearing more quickly than before.

If you’re going through perimenopause or menopause, your skin may need extra care with a focus on hydration, barrier repair and collagen stimulation. Treatments such as skin boosters, RF microneedling and LED therapy can help restore bounce and glow, while products rich in antioxidants and ceramides like EverActive C&E, Recovery Balm and HydraCalm support your skin at home.

If this sounds familiar, book a menopause skin consultation at BV Aesthetics in Birmingham and I’ll create a personalised plan to help your skin feel balanced, hydrated and strong again.
