Skincare Tips for the “Ber” Months: How to Keep Your Skin Healthy in Autumn and Winter
As the “Ber” months roll in — September, October, November, and December — the shift in weather can take a toll on your skin. Cooler air, windy days, and central heating indoors often lead to dryness, irritation, and dullness. The good news? With the right autumn and winter skincare routine, plus some professional treatments, your skin can stay glowing right through to the festive season.

Why Does Skin Change During the “Ber” Months?
In autumn and winter, humidity levels drop and indoor heating dries out the air. This can weaken the skin’s barrier, causing:
Dehydration
Flakiness
Increased sensitivity
More visible fine lines
Breakouts from barrier disruption
This is why adjusting your skincare routine is so important during the colder months.

At-Home Skincare Tips for Autumn and Winter
🧴 Use a Gentle, Hydrating Cleanser
Swap foaming cleansers for cream or balm formulas that remove impurities without stripping natural oils.
💧 Add a Hydrating Serum
Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and peptides to plump and strengthen your skin barrier.
☀️ Keep Wearing SPF
Yes, even in winter! UVA rays still penetrate clouds and windows, contributing to premature ageing and pigmentation.
🧴 Switch to a Richer Moisturiser
Light gel creams may not be enough in colder weather — choose a nourishing cream that locks in hydration.
✨ Exfoliate Gently
Dry skin builds up faster in winter. Use a mild exfoliant 1–2 times a week to reveal brighter, smoother skin.
🥑 Support from Within
Stay hydrated, and include omega-3s and antioxidants in your diet for stronger, healthier skin.

Wellness from the Inside Out
Healthy, radiant skin starts from within — and during the autumn and winter months, supporting your body with the right nutrients can make all the difference.
💊 Supplements
Vitamin B12: Helps fight fatigue, supports red blood cell production, and contributes to healthy skin and energy levels — especially important in darker months.
Vitamin D: A must-have when sunlight is limited, helping with mood, immunity, and skin repair.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Reduce inflammation, keeping skin supple and nourished.
🥦 Autumn/Winter Foods for Skin Health
Leafy greens (kale, spinach) for antioxidants and iron.
Oily fish (salmon, mackerel, sardines) for essential fatty acids.
Root vegetables (carrots, sweet potatoes, beetroot) rich in vitamins A and C for repair and glow.
Nuts and seeds for skin-boosting minerals like zinc and selenium.
Seasonal fruits (pomegranates, apples, citrus) packed with antioxidants to support immunity and skin health.
By combining a nutrient-rich diet, targeted supplements, and consistent skincare, your skin and overall wellness will be far more resilient through the colder months.
Final Thoughts
The “Ber” months are the perfect time to focus on hydration, nourishment, and prevention. A strong at-home routine, combined with in-clinic treatments, will keep your skin radiant, healthy, and confident right through autumn and into the new year.
