Why your skin gets dull at the start of the school year – and how to make it glow again

At the end of summer, many people notice that their skin looks tired and less radiant. While vacations can be rejuvenating, they're not always kind to the skin. Sun, heat, chlorine, and salt all attack the skin barrier. The result: skin feels tight, loses suppleness, and appears duller.

Why this phenomenon?
Tanning acts as a filter that masks imperfections and irregularities. But as soon as the skin begins its natural renewal cycle, pigment spots, dehydration lines, or pimples can reappear. This is a transitional period where the skin needs specific support to regain its balance.

The essential steps to restore shine

Cleanse gently but thoroughly : choose a cleanser that respects the hydrolipidic film and is able to eliminate dead cells without irritating.

Intensely hydrate : An antioxidant serum like Image Skincare's Vital C Hydrating Anti-Aging Serum helps fight oxidative stress while restoring hydration.

Strengthen the skin barrier : A soothing and restorative cream – such as Dermalogica's UltraCalming Barrier Defense Booster – restores comfort and suppleness.

Daily protection : Even in autumn, UV rays accelerate skin aging. Sun protection remains essential.

And in an institute?
A targeted facial is ideal for boosting cell renewal, stimulating microcirculation, and preparing the skin for seasonal changes. At Glowing Skin, each protocol is created with you in mind: we build your treatment based on your goals and your skin's responses.

Conclusion
Back-to-school doesn't have to mean a tired complexion. With a few tweaks to your routine and the right professional skincare, your skin can regain its radiance and vitality to take on fall in style.
