Skin Care Tips and Trends, The Ultimate Guide to Post-Summer Skin Recovery

Glow Ready for Summer: Your October Skincare Guide

As the days get longer and the sun shines brighter, October is the perfect month to refresh your skincare routine and get glow-ready for summer. At SkinMiles, we know the change of season can feel overwhelming – but with expert guidance, the right products, and a little planning, your skin can thrive

1. Step Into Summer With Confidence

Transitioning from winter into warmer months often means adjusting your products.

Think:

  • Lighter moisturisers to prevent clogged pores.
  • Hydrating serums to balance skin after winter dryness.
  • Daily SPF (yes, even on cloudy days!) to protect against UV damage.

Your summer-ready routine doesn’t need to be complicated – it needs to be consistent.

2. Why SPF is Non-Negotiable

Sunscreen is the ultimate anti-ageing product, and October is the perfect time to make it a daily habit. On SkinMiles, you’ll find a wide range of SPFs to suit every skin type: lightweight fluids, tinted options, rich creams, and even kid-friendly mineral sunscreens like Heliocare 360° Pediatrics Mineral SPF 50+.

No matter your preference, there’s an SPF waiting for you in our collection
