Autumn Reset for your skin
As summer fades and autumn arrives, our skin begins to speak a little differently. Perhaps it feels drier, tighter, more reactive. Fine lines may catch your eye in the mirror, or your tone feels less even than it did a few weeks ago. This is your skin’s way of asking for care, attention, and a seasonal reset.
Autumn is the perfect time to repair what summer has left behind, restore hydration, and prepare your complexion for the deeper months of winter. At The Hideout, we approach this shift as both a ritual for the senses and a reset for the skin, where treatments and home care work hand in hand to create true, lasting change.
1. Maintain balance
Your skin feels happiest when slightly acidic (around pH 4–6). But hot showers, central heating, and foaming cleansers tip it off balance, leaving tightness, dryness, and irritation. This is the season for gentle pH-balanced cleansers and soft exfoliation with mandelic or lactic acid blends.
As an in clinic, a light lactic peel paired with red LED therapy smooths, brightens, and helps restore the skin barrier. At home I am loving pairing your peptide serum with a red light mask to support repair and keep your skin luminous. I recommend Medik8 Liquid Peptides Advanced MP.
2. Protect your barrier
Your skin barrier is your lock and shield - holding moisture in, keeping irritants out. When weakened, skin feels sore, flaky, or itchy. In this season, it needs both comfort and strength.
Our Couture Facial is a perfect seasonal ritual: combining deep cleansing, hydration, and sculpting massage with targeted technology like RF and ultrasonic infusion. It calms, nourishes, and strengthens from the inside out.
At home, use ceramides, niacinamide, and a weekly collagen rich mask to replenish and fortify. I love Dermalogica AGE Smart® MultiVitamin Power Recovery Mask.
3. Detox & refine
Summer often leaves skin looking congested, uneven, or dull. A gentle detox helps bring back clarity and radiance. Exfoliate 2–3 times per week at home with an aha cleanser such as Medik8 Surface Radiance Cleanse, and in clinic, we recommend microneedling, chemical peels, or sculpting facials with lymphatic release. These treatments clear, refine, and restore a natural, lit-from-within glow.
4. Strengthen & stimulate
With less sun exposure, autumn is the ideal moment to invest in more invasive deeper, collagen-stimulating treatments. SkinPen microneedling with exosomes, RF microneedling, or a short course of bespoke facials rebuild structure, plump fine lines, and reawaken elasticity. The benefit here is they are also cumulative: each session adding to your skin’s strength and radiance.
At home, complement this with a nightly retinol such as Obagi to encourage gentle cell turnover and keep skin fresh, responsive, and resilient. If you need a help choosing your retinol or help on your retinol journey please reach out.
Your autumn ritual
Think of this season as a time for clearing and rebuilding , a new season and shedding what summer left behind, while nurturing resilience and glow for the winter ahead.
At The Hideout, every treatment is both a sensory experience and a results-driven ritual. You’ll leave not only with skin that looks brighter, smoother, and deeply nourished, but with a body that feels calmer, lighter, and reset.
This autumn, give your skin the reset it’s asking for.
