How to Maintain Healthy Skin in our Harsh Climate:

Tips from Your Local Riverland Beauticians

Written By Adele | Edited By Chrissy – Creative Little Soul

Living in South Australia means experiencing some of the country’s harshest weather conditions. Scorching summer days through to chilly and windy winter nights take their toll. Fortunately, with the proper care, you can keep your skin healthy and glowing, no matter what Mother Nature throws at you. Our clinicians at Beauty Spot Body & Skin Clinic have put together some expert tips to help you maintain healthy skin in this varying climate.

Hydration is Key: Drink Water & Moisturise

The Riverland’s hot summers can lead to excessive sweating and dehydration, leaving your skin feeling dry and dull. To combat this, it’s essential to stay hydrated internally and externally. Drink plenty of water throughout the day and incorporate hydrating skincare products like moisturisers and serums.

We recommend products with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which draws moisture into the skin, or aloe vera to soothe and hydrate.

*Product recommendation* ULTRA B2 HYDRATING SERUM

Our oil-free serum, powered by the advanced Triple-HA Complex with AC-Hyal, combines three forms of Hyaluronic Acid to deliver instant, long-lasting, and deep hydration for all skin types. Infused with provitamins, this essential serum helps visibly plump the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Sun Protection: Your Skin’s Best Friend

Australia is known for its intense sun; protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is essential to prevent sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50+ before heading outdoors. Don’t forget areas like your ears, neck, décolletage & hands!

We also recommend that SPF-infused moisturisers be included in your morning skincare routine.

*Product recommendation* ULTRA UV Protective Daily Moisturiser SPF 50 Hydrating

Our best-selling, hydrating, non-whitening, lightweight sunscreen formula protects the skin from harmful UVA & UVB rays to help prevent premature skin aging. This award-winning product is part of the Ultra UV Protective range.

Exfoliation: The Secret to Fresh, Bright Skin

Exfoliation is key to removing dead skin cells that can accumulate due to dryness or sun exposure, leading to dull, flaky skin. However, striking a balance is essential, as over-exfoliation can be irritating, especially in hot and dry climates. We recommend gentle exfoliating products or treatments that help remove debris while preserving the skin’s natural barrier.

*Treatment recommendation* BIO-HYDRODERM Microdermabrasion & LED Treatment

In the clinic, we offer microdermabrasion treatments with the Bio-Hydroderm™ system. Utilising different levels of diamond abrasive discs, the Bio-Hydroderm ™ is age-defying and delivers consistently smooth, exfoliated, hydrated, and youthful-looking skin.

Wind and Cold Protection: Shield Your Skin from the Elements

While the summer heat is brutal, the winter & Spring months in South Australia can bring harsh winds and cold temperatures, leaving skin vulnerable to irritation and dryness. During these cooler months, switching to richer, more nourishing moisturisers is essential.

A nourishing & regenerative facial treatment can give your skin the boost it needs. We offer intensive treatment options for restructuring damaged skin, smoothing fine lines & wrinkles, and rehydrating. Please speak to one of our clinicians for your most suitable choice!

Don’t Forget Your Skin’s Health Inside and Out

Finally, healthy skin isn’t just about products and treatments—it’s about improving your overall health. Eating a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and healthy fats can do wonders for your skin. Foods like avocados, berries, and leafy greens can help support your skin’s natural barrier and keep it glowing. Don’t forget the power of drinking enough water! Pair that with a good skincare routine, and you’ll see the results!

Living in the Riverland’s harsh climate doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice healthy, radiant skin. With the proper skincare routine, sun protection, and professional treatments, you can keep your skin in top condition all year round.
