Long evenings, warm sunshine, and maybe a little more rosé than usual — summer is a joy, but it can leave its mark on our skin. Weeks of UV exposure, heat, and outdoor living can strip away moisture, deepen fine lines, and leave complexions looking a little tired.
For us - women over forty - this shift can be even more pronounced. With collagen and elastin naturally declining, our skin takes longer to recover and needs a little extra help to feel its best again. That’s where an autumn skin reset comes in — a chance to replenish moisture, smooth lines, and restore that healthy glow before the cooler months set in.
Here’s my skin reset ritual to bring your skin back to life after summer and help it step into autumn looking fresh, radiant, and nourished.
Mauli Rituals Supreme Skin Exfoliant & Mask - 20g/ £48.00
This Ayurvedic mask powder detoxifies while feeding skin. Blended with the beautiful face oil from Ila Spa and it becomes a soothing, replenishing mask that leaves skin soft and luminous. The addition of oil rather than water gives this mask a softness that works perfectly for our skin.
Ila Spa Face Oil – 15ml/£42.50
This is such a beautiful face oil. Rich in essential fatty acids, this oil restores moisture and elasticity. For best results, mix a few drops with your Mauli Rituals mask to create a deeply hydrating, nutrient-packed treatment, but it can also be used on its own when you feel your skin needs a little softness. The fragrance of this oil is out of this world!
DRS FORMULA Dragon’s Blood Sensitive Wrinkle Reducer – 30ml/RRP£99.00
Dragon’s Blood (a plant!) calms, protects, and cushions skin, helping to smooth fine lines without irritation. Perfect post-summer when skin needs extra care. This powerhouse of anti-oxidant rich ingredients to the rescue! Daily, this blend of Dragons Blood, Panthenol and Wine Extract, supports and repairs skin, soothing and hydrating throughout the day due to its ability to attract and hold moisture.
Dr. Paw Paw Lip Balm – £4.25
Lip balm is an absolutely must-have as we move into autumn. Pop this in your bag or pocket as you head out on walks or keep on your desk to combat the changing temperatures. This balm is an all-time hero, packed with shea butter to hydrate and shields lips from dryness.
This routine repairs, rebuilds, detoxifies, and protects — exactly what midlife skin needs to bounce back after summer and step into autumn glowing.
