Introduction
Hi, I’m Nurse Marina, and my passion for skincare comes from a simple belief: healthy, glowing skin isn’t just about genetics, it’s about how we care for ourselves inside and out. As a trained aesthetics nurse, I founded Juvenology Clinic in Maidstone to help people slow down the signs of ageing with science-backed treatments, wellness, and expert skincare.
As autumn brings cooler air and dryness, it’s the perfect time to adjust your skincare routine to keep your skin hydrated, nourished, and radiant. This season, let’s embrace the changes together whether it's with personalized skincare tips or treatments designed to keep your skin glowing all season long. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
Key Takeaways:
Moisturize More: Switch to a richer moisturizer with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides to lock in moisture during those cooler months.
Strengthen Your Skin Barrier: Choose gentle, hydrating cleansers and calming serums to keep your skin’s barrier intact and resilient.
Protect Your Lips: Don’t forget to nourish your lips with a good lip balm to prevent dryness and cracking.
Add Vitamin C: Brighten your complexion and fight free radicals with a daily vitamin C serum. Your skin will thank you!
Hydrate with Masks: Treat your skin to a weekly hydrating mask—ingredients like aloe vera and honey will help lock in moisture and keep your skin feeling fresh.
Book a Facial: Fall is a perfect time to refresh your skin with a facial or a non-invasive treatment like microneedling or chemical peels.
Eat Skin-Friendly Foods: Include antioxidant-rich fruits and veggies like pumpkins and sweet potatoes to nourish your skin from the inside out. Your glow will show!
Don’t Skip SPF: Even though it’s cooler, keep protecting your skin with broad-spectrum SPF every day. It’s essential year-round.
At Juvenology Clinic, we’re all about helping you maintain smooth, glowing skin no matter the season. Ready to take your skincare routine to the next level? We’re here to help you feel your best every day!
How Autumn Affects Your Skin
As temperatures drop, your skin faces two challenges: cold air pulls moisture away, while indoor heating dries it out further. This can lead to:
Dry, flaky skin – Less humidity means faster moisture loss.
Increased sensitivity – Your skin may react more to products or weather changes.
Chapped lips & cracked hands – A common seasonal complaint, but easy to prevent.
The key to autumn skincare is hydration, nourishment, and protection. Let’s go through the best ways to adapt your routine.
Your Autumn Skincare Routine
Switch to a Richer Moisturizer – Lightweight summer creams may not be enough. Look for products with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and glycerin to lock in moisture.
Add a Hydrating Serum – Vitamin C, niacinamide, and peptides help maintain moisture, brighten skin, and reduce irritation.
Don’t Skip Sunscreen – UV rays are just as damaging in autumn! Use SPF 30+ daily to prevent premature aging.
Exfoliate Gently – Ditch harsh scrubs and opt for lactic or glycolic acid exfoliators 1-2 times a week.
Use a Humidifier – Indoor heating dries out the air, so adding moisture helps keep your skin soft and hydrated.

Common Autumn Skincare Myths
As the seasons shift, many people fall prey to skincare myths that can actually do more harm than good. Autumn is a time to nourish and protect your skin, but sometimes the flood of advice out there can be overwhelming. Let’s debunk some of the most common fall skincare myths and get to the truth.
Myth 1: You Don’t Need Sunscreen in Autumn – UV rays are present year-round, so daily sunscreen is still a must, even on cloudy days!
Myth 2: You Should Skip Exfoliating in the Fall – Gentle exfoliation is key to keeping skin smooth and helping moisturizers work better.
Myth 3: Autumn Is the Time to Use Heavy Creams – Rich creams help, but layering hydrating serums and lightweight lotions can be more effective.
Myth 4: Hot Showers Are Good for Dry Skin – Hot water strips natural oils, making skin drier, stick to lukewarm showers instead.
Myth 5: Natural Skincare Products Are Always Better – “Natural” doesn’t always mean gentle; always check ingredients and patch test first.
Myth 6: You Don’t Need to Change Your Routine in Autumn – Cooler air demands extra hydration, so tweak your routine to keep skin balanced.

About Me
Hi, I’m Nurse Marina, and I’m so glad you’re here! I founded Juvenology Clinic in Kent to bring a truly personalized approach to botox, dermal fillers, skincare, and overall wellness.
Before transitioning into aesthetics, I spent 6 years as a Cardiac Nurse at KIMS Hospital in Maidstone, where I developed a deep understanding of anatomy. I then honed my skills as a Specialist Aesthetics Nurse at Spencer Private Hospital in Kent.
I’m a proud member of professional organizations like JCCP, BAMAN, NMC, ACE Group, and the Royal College of Nursing. I want to make sure that every treatment I deliver is backed by the latest knowledge and techniques in medical aesthetics.
