Best Treatments to Pair With Your Autumn Skincare Routine

Autumn is the perfect time to reset your skin. After a long summer of sun exposure, heat, and humidity, many people start to notice signs of dehydration, dullness, or sensitivity creeping in.

At Platinum Cosmetics, we see autumn as a key opportunity to repair, restore, and build a foundation for long-term skin health. But how do you know what treatments work best during this seasonal shift?

Here’s how we guide clients through autumn with skin-supportive, results-driven treatments that work in harmony with their home routine.

Why Autumn Matters for Skin

As the weather cools, skin tends to lose moisture more easily. Indoor heating, cooler winds, and a change in UV exposure can lead to:

• A compromised skin barrier

• Dryness or flaking

• Heightened sensitivity

• A dull, uneven skin tone

This makes autumn the ideal time to transition away from summer maintenance and toward more restorative, corrective treatments.

Recommended Autumn Treatments

1. Laser Rejuvenation

With lower UV exposure in autumn and winter, laser treatments become safer and more effective. This is a great time to address:

• Pigmentation from summer sun

• Fine lines and skin laxity

• Uneven texture or enlarged pores

Our Fotona laser treatments are fully customisable and allow for progressive improvement with minimal downtime.

2. Skin Needling

Also known as collagen induction therapy, skin needling helps restore elasticity, refine texture, and reduce post-summer scarring or congestion.

Because it stimulates the skin’s repair response, autumn’s cooler temperatures offer an ideal healing environment. Learn more about our skin rejuvenation approach.

3. Hydrating and Barrier-Repairing Facials

A strong skin barrier is essential year-round, but especially in the cooler months. Our professional facials are tailored to soothe sensitivity, restore hydration, and support long-term skin resilience.

Many clients book monthly facials during autumn as a way to reset their skin and maintain balance throughout the season.

4. Skincare Review and Adjustment

What worked in summer may not be enough in autumn. We often recommend transitioning to slightly richer moisturisers, adding a lipid-supportive serum, or pulling back on exfoliating actives that may now be too harsh.

Our skin care range is chosen for quality, simplicity, and compatibility with in-clinic treatments.

Start With a Seasonal Skin Assessment

If your skin is feeling tight, reactive, or just not as clear as it was a few months ago, it may be time for a seasonal reset. Our team can assess your skin, review your routine, and recommend a combination of treatments and products that support your skin as the weather changes.

Book your consultation at our Port Melbourne clinic and let’s build an autumn plan that supports calm, clear, confident skin — now and into winter.
