It usually happens in October: someone from Northfields walks in and says, “My skin just feels tired lately.” Summer sun, heat, sweat, sunscreen build-up, late nights and travel all leave their mark. By the time autumn arrives, dullness and uneven texture become more noticeable – especially under softer autumn light.

This is why autumn is one of the most popular seasons for subtle, natural, pharmacist-led aesthetic treatments at Bramley Pharmacy.

Why skin feels tired in autumn

• Summer UV exposure depletes hydration
• Heat and sweat congest pores
• Holiday routines disrupt sleep
• Air conditioning and sun both dry the skin
• Darker mornings/earlier sunsets make skin changes more visible

The result? Skin that feels flat, uneven or dehydrated.

How we help

Our aesthetics appointments are calm, face-to-face consultations where we look at your skin’s condition and discuss what’s appropriate. Some people want a bit of glow ahead of the festive season. Others want help with texture, hydration or tone.

We do not rush appointments, and we focus on safe, evidence-based treatments that enhance your natural features rather than change them.

A few things people ask us in October

• “Can I refresh my skin without downtime?”
• “My skin looks dull in photos – can I fix that?”
• “Is it normal to have more pigmentation after summer?”
• “When should I start preparing for Christmas events?”

These are all common concerns, and the right approach depends on your skin type and goals.

A natural glow starts with good advice

If your skin needs a reset, autumn is the perfect season to begin.
Drop into Bramley Pharmacy for a consultation and let us guide you on what’s suitable.
