As summer fades and the cooler months approach, it's time to give your skin the reset it deserves. The sun, heat, and humidity can leave our skin feeling tired, uneven, and in need of some TLC. If you’re looking to rejuvenate your complexion, integrating a medical skincare range into your daily routine can work wonders. Here’s how to revive your summer skin and achieve a radiant glow.
Understanding Summer Skin Damage
Summer can be tough on our skin. Sun exposure, sweat, and chlorine from pools can lead to dryness, pigmentation issues, and accelerated ageing. Common concerns include:
Sunspots: Excessive UV exposure can lead to hyperpigmentation.
Dehydration: The sun and heat can strip your skin of its natural moisture.
Texture Changes: Heat can increase oiliness, leading to breakouts and uneven texture.

The Power of Obagi Products
Obagi is a trusted name in skincare, known for its clinically proven formulas that target various skin concerns.
Here are some of our TOP products to consider for resetting your skin:
1. Obagi Nu-Derm System
This comprehensive system helps transform your skin at a cellular level. With products that promote exfoliation and cell turnover, the Nu-Derm System can reduce pigmentation and enhance overall skin tone. Key ingredients include:
Hydroquinone: Brightens dark spots and evens skin tone.
Tretinoin: Encourages cell turnover, improving texture.
2. Obagi Professional-C Serum
Packed with Vitamin C, this serum helps protect your skin from environmental stressors while brightening and firming. Vitamin C is crucial for collagen production and can help combat the dullness often seen post-summer.
3. Obagi Hydrate Moisturiser
To counteract summer dehydration, the Hydrate moisturiser replenishes moisture levels and strengthens the skin barrier. Its lightweight formula is perfect for everyday use, keeping your skin soft and supple.
4. Obagi Tinted Sun Shield
And yes......you should continue to wear sunscreen in the Autumn! Just because the weather is cooling down does not mean that the sun’s harmful UV rays are any less potent. In fact, according to studies from the Skin Cancer Foundation, ultraviolet ray exposure is cumulative. It continues to add up over a person’s lifetime, increasing their risk of skin cancer in the future. So even if you were not diligent about applying sunscreen in the past, it is critical to start now and make it a habit!
Incorporating a Retinol into your Routine
Retinol is a powerhouse ingredient known for its ability to promote skin renewal. Here’s why adding retinol to your routine is essential for resetting your summer skin:
Cell Turnover: Retinol accelerates the shedding of dead skin cells, revealing a fresher complexion underneath.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Regular use can diminish the appearance of fine lines, helping to achieve a more youthful look.
Even Skin Tone: It targets pigmentation issues and helps to smooth out rough texture.
Tips for Using Obagi Products containing Prescriptive Retinoids
Start Slow: If you’re new to retinol, start with a lower concentration and use it twice a week, gradually increasing frequency as your skin adapts.
Follow with Sunscreen: Retinol can increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun, so daily sunscreen is a must. Choose a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and consider using a hydrating serum or moisturiser to combat any dryness that may occur with retinol use.
Consult a Professional: For personalised recommendations, consult with one of our skincare professional at our clinic to create a tailored routine that suits your skin’s unique needs.
