After a summer of sun, sea, and travel, your skin might be telling a different story than your Instagram feed. While holidays are great for the soul, they often wreak havoc on your skin — leaving behind dehydration, breakouts, pigmentation, and a dull complexion. Now is the perfect time to focus on skin repair, with targeted post-holiday skin treatments for sun damage that restore balance, glow, and long-term skin health.
How Summer Affects Your Skin
Prolonged sun exposure, air travel, and changes in routine can lead to:
- Sun damage & pigmentation: UV rays trigger excess melanin, leading to uneven skin tone, dark spots, and accelerated ageing.
- Breakouts & congestion: Sunscreen build-up, heat, and sweat can clog pores, leading to post-summer breakouts.
- Dehydration & dullness: Hot climates and travel dehydrate your skin, leaving it dry, tight, and lacking radiance.

At-Home Skin Recovery Tips
Support your in-clinic results with these expert-approved home care tips:
- Hydrate from the inside out: Up your water intake and invest in a hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid.
- Avoid over-exfoliating: Resist the urge to scrub away sun damage — it can worsen inflammation.
- Reintroduce active ingredients slowly: Gradually bring back ingredients like retinol or acids, and always pair with SPF.
- Use antioxidant-rich skincare: Vitamin C is key for brightening and reversing free radical damage.
- Don’t skip SPF: Late summer UV is still strong — daily SPF is non-negotiable, even if the sun feels weaker.
