As the warm days of summer fade into the crispness of autumn, maintaining your glow can be a challenge. We caught up with Natalie, our skin therapist from THIEF SPA, to share her tips on how to keep your skin glowing as the seasons change.
So, Natalie, How does the colder, drier autumn weather affect the skin, and what can we do to prevent it?
The sudden drop in temperature can affect a lowering moisture level and weakening the skin barrier. As a result, your skin may look dull and gray. The solution? Always cleanse your skin both morning and night, and don’t skip daily exfoliation. Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, improves circulation, and makes your skincare products more effective.
Fun Fact:
Cold air is much drier than warm air, so your skin loses moisture faster in the winter. Make sure to adjust your skincare routine to keep that glow alive.
What treatment would you recommend for achieving glowing skin?
For a lasting glow, I always recommend our Natura Bissé – 3D Collagen Shock treatment. This treatment is truly a game changer! It strengthens the skin using three different types of collagen. We begin by cleansing the skin and applying a glycolic peel to remove dead cells and deeply cleanse the pores. This helps tackle pigmentation, leaving the skin even and smooth. Next, we add a collagen serum that penetrates deeply, allowing products to absorb better and enhance their effectiveness. We also apply a facial mask suited to your skin type, and while it works, we perform a shoulder and neck massage to boost blood circulation and ensure full relaxation. We finish with eye cream, face cream, and sunscreen for ultimate protection.
Did you know?
Collagen isn’t just about anti-aging—it’s plumping effects can keep your skin glowing, youthful, and hydrated!
After the treatment, what products should we use to maintain the results?
To prolong the effects of the treatment, it’s essential to add retinol to your skincare routine. Retinol helps smooth skin texture, reduce pigmentation, and firm up your skin. If you haven’t used retinol before, start carefully with small amounts to ensure it’s suitable for your skin type and condition. Feel free to ask us for personalized recommendations to help you achieve the best results.
I also recommend a hydrating sheet mask for an extra moisture boost. Serum and facial cream suited to your skin type will further enhance the results. And don’t forget sunscreen—it’s your best friend in preventing pigmentation and sun damage.
Pro Tip:
Use your sheet mask in the evening after a day spent in harsh weather. It’s an instant moisture boost.
How often should I schedule this professional facial treatment?
I suggest scheduling this treatment once a month. However, the most important factor is your at-home routine. Consistent use of effective products will make a significant difference, and monthly treatments will help and boost your routine.
What are your must-have products for the fall?
As the weather changes, look for products containing hyaluronic acid—a great daytime serum to maintain hydration. At night, use a retinol serum 2-3 times a week. Try to look out for a facial cream without water, as water can freeze on the skin and lead to dryness or frostbite. And, as always, sunscreen is vital for protection.
If someone wants to treat themselves to a complete day of relaxation at the spa, what should they reserve for the ultimate experience?
Why stop with just a facial when you can have it all! Pair your 3D Collagen Shock treatment with our Revitalizing Retreat, which includes a body massage and exfoliating scrub that leaves your skin soft and glowing. You can even add our Afternoon Tea & Spa offer for a day of total relaxation in our spa facilities, followed by a tasteful tea and sweet treats to savor at THIEF Restaurant.
