As the seasons shift, so do your skin’s needs. After months of sun exposure, heat, travel, and outdoor activities, your complexion may be showing signs of stress: dehydration, pigmentation, breakouts, or just a lack of its usual glow. September is the perfect time to hit reset and prepare your skin for the colder months ahead.
At Dr Motox Clinic, we see September as a transitional moment for skin health. It’s about undoing summer’s impact, restoring hydration and balance, and setting up a routine that will protect your complexion through autumn and winter. That’s why we’ve put together our September Skincare Edit, a complete guide to post-summer treatments, essential products, and everyday habits that keep your skin radiant year-round.
1. Post-Summer Skin Treatments
Hydrating Facials for a Fresh Start
Nothing revives the skin quite like a professional facial. Our bespoke hydrating facials are designed to replenish lost moisture, soothe sun-stressed skin, and bring back your natural radiance. They are beneficial all year round, but after summer they are the ultimate reset — leaving your skin smooth, plump, and glowing.
Think of this as a seasonal detox for your complexion: we clear away the build-up from sunscreen, sweat, and environmental exposure while infusing your skin with hydration and nutrients.
Skin-Boosting Injectables for Lasting Results
For those who want to go deeper, injectable skin boosters such as Profhilo and Polynucleotides work beneath the surface. These treatments:
-
Kickstart natural skin regeneration
-
Improve elasticity
-
Hydrate from within
-
Restore bounce and vitality
They’re especially effective after prolonged sun exposure, making them a top choice for anyone looking to future-proof their skin post-summer.
2. Skincare Routines That Work With the Seasons
Skin Analysis Check-Ins
Good skincare starts with understanding your skin. Our Observ 520X skin scanner allows us to see what’s happening beneath the surface — from pigmentation and dehydration to sun damage and early signs of aging. This gives us the information we need to design a treatment and product plan completely tailored to you.
Follow-Up Appointments
Just like fitness, skin health thrives on consistency. Follow-up appointments ensure your treatment plan is on track, allow for any top-ups, and give us the opportunity to adjust your routine as the seasons change. Regular check-ins mean we can support you every step of the way, keeping your complexion at its best.
3. Skincare Products & Supplements for Autumn
Medical-Grade Skincare
Between treatments, the products you use at home make a huge difference. We’ve curated a selection of results-driven products from Medik8 and Obagi, available both online and in-clinic. These brands are known for their advanced formulations that protect, repair, and enhance your skin barrier.
They’re especially valuable during autumn when skin can feel more sensitive and dehydrated due to cooler air and central heating. Using the right cleanser, serum, and moisturiser helps maintain your glow and supports the work of in-clinic treatments.

Supplements for Radiance from Within
Skincare isn’t only topical — it’s holistic. The nutrients you put into your body have a direct impact on your skin. We recommend adding Collagen, Omega-3, and Vitamin D to your daily routine. These support natural collagen production, keep your skin hydrated and resilient, and help maintain a radiant glow, especially as daylight hours shorten.
4. Skin Health Tips Beyond Products
SPF Every Single Day
One of the most common misconceptions we see is that SPF is just for summer. The truth is: UVA and UVB rays are present all year long, and blue light from phones and laptops can also affect your skin. Wearing SPF 365 days a year protects against pigmentation, premature aging, and fine lines. It’s a non-negotiable step in every skincare routine.
Building Healthy Skin Habits
While products and treatments are important, your lifestyle plays a huge role in how your skin looks and feels. Glowing skin starts with:
-
Staying hydrated throughout the day
-
Eating a nutrient-rich diet full of antioxidants
-
Prioritising consistent, restorative sleep
-
Managing stress through movement or mindfulness
-
Exercising regularly to boost circulation
-
Taking daily supplements for long-term skin support
-
Protecting your skin from both the sun and screen exposure
These habits may sound simple, but when combined with the right skincare and treatments, they make a visible difference.
Why September is the Perfect Time for a Skin Reset
September isn’t just about back-to-school or a return to routine, it’s a chance to give your skin the same fresh start. Addressing sun damage now means you’ll head into autumn and winter with a stronger, healthier complexion. Whether it’s a facial, injectable skin booster, or the right medical-grade skincare, making these adjustments now sets the tone for radiant skin well into the festive season.
