Sun Damage SOS: How to Heal Your Skin This Fall

As the sun sets on another glorious summer, you may be noticing the toll that those sunny days and cabin weekends have taken on your skin. From dark spots and pigmentation to fine lines and rough texture, sun damage can show up in many ways. But don’t worry - fall is the perfect time to start reversing the effects of summer sun and restoring your skin to its natural, healthy glow!

Here’s how you can give your skin the ultimate post-summer reset with the right treatments and an updated skincare routine.

1. Use Chemical Peels to Rejuvenate Your Skin!

Chemical peels are a fantastic way to refresh your skin and reduce visible sun damage. The treatment works by exfoliating the outer layer of dead, damaged skin cells, revealing smoother, more evenly toned skin beneath. 

Why Choose Chemical Peels?

• fades dark spots and pigmentation

• reduces fine lines and wrinkles

• improves skin texture and tone

At Giddie Skin we offer the Perfect Peel, a formula suited to all skin types and ethnicities. After a summer of UV exposure the Perfect Peel can help your skin bounce back, brighter and more youthful than before.

2. Try BioRePeel for a Gentle Yet Effective Refresh 

If you’re looking for a less invasive option that still delivers visible results, consider committing to the BioRePeel. This is an innovative biophase peel that exfoliates the skin while delivering essential vitamins and amino acids to repair damage. Unlike traditional peels, BioRePeel has minimal downtime, making it the perfect treatment for anyone seeking a quick, effective treatment. Come in once a week for 4 weeks to complete your treatment regimen!

Benefits of BioRePeel:

• diminishes sun spots and hyperpigmentation

• reduces the appearance of fine lines

• provides intense hydration and skin renewal

BioRePeel is perfect for those who want results similar to a chemical peel, but can’t commit to the downtime that comes with one! Start reversing that summer sun damage and get your skin glowing for the months ahead!

3. Target Stubborn Sun Damage with SRA Laser Treatments

For stubborn sun damage, such as deep pigmentation, broken capillaries, or uneven skin texture, SRA laser treatments (also known as IPL or Intense Pulsed Light Therapy) can be highly effective. SRA laser treatments use targeted light energy to break down pigmentation, reduce redness, and stimulate collagen production, helping to restore your skin's clarity and firmness.

Why Opt for an SRA Laser?

• treats a wide range of skin concerns, including sunspots, freckles, and broken capillaries

• boosts collagen for firmer, more youthful skin

• results in a more even and radiant complexion

SRA laser treatments are perfect for those looking to tackle more pronounced sun damage and achieve a smoother, more uniform skin tone. It’s especially effective during the fall when sun exposure is minimized, allowing your skin to heal effectively.

4. Revamp Your Skincare Routine for Fall

In addition to these treatments, transitioning your at-home skincare routine is key to healing your skin after summer. Consider incorporating products that work to help repair sun damage and lock in moisture as the weather cools down.

Fall Skincare Must-Haves:

• Vivant Pure C+E: brightens and reduces pigmentation

• Vivant DermARenew: stimulates cell turnover and minimizes fine lines

• Obagi Dual Barrier Lotion: provides deep hydration and prevents dryness

• Vivant Green Tea Cleanser: calming cleanser that won’t strip your skin, but instead hydrate it

Switching to a richer moisturizer and incorporating serums can help combat the dryness that comes with cooler weather, ensuring your skin stays soft, supple, and protected.

5. Schedule a Consultation to Customize Your Treatment Plan
