How to Repair Summer Skin Damage Before Fall (with Éminence Organics)
As summer winds down, our skin can often show the wear and tear of those long days in the sun, a little more perspiration and the effects of environmental stressors.
From sunspots and dehydration to clogged pores and dullness, the summer can take its toll on your complexion. However repairing and rejuvenating summer damaged skin is achievable and now is the perfect time to reset your skincare routine and prepare for the cooler months ahead.
Here’s how to gently repair summer skin damage using Éminence Organic Skin Care — the award-winning, plant-powered brand known for results-driven natural formulations.
5 Top Tips To Repair Summer Damaged Skin Before Autumn - Here’s Our Favourite Why’s and Try’s To Repair Your Summer Damaged Skin:
- Exfoliate to Reveal Fresh, Radiant Skin – we love this tip as exfoliation can help improve the look, feel and health of your skin, from simply removing dull, dead skin to helping other products absorb better, this is a skincare step not to be missed!
Why: Dead skin cells build up faster during summer due to excess sunscreen, increased perspiration, and your skin can produce more oil. Gentle exfoliation polishes away the superficial dead skin layer to reveal a healthier, more vibrant skin. Removal of this dead skin barrier will also mean your products don’t get caught up helping them penetrate to the deeper epidermal layers for better results.
Try:
🔹 Éminence Strawberry Rhubarb Dermafoliant
This gentle daily exfoliant uses rice powder, lactic acid, and strawberries to brighten and smooth without irritation.
Pro Tip: Use 2–3 times a week if your skin is dry or sensitive; If you have a more oilier skin type, Try:
🔹 Éminence Stone Crop Oxygenating Fizzofoliant instead to help balance, heal and soothe your skin.
Fancy Something Spicy?
After your exfoliation apply a warming masque such as; Lime Stimulating Masque with Hungarian paprika. This masque will increase circulation bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to your skin, it can leave you with a plumped glow resulting in a detoxified, more youthful looking complexion ready for all that autumn has to bring …
2. Rehydrate A Dehydrated Skin
Why: After months of sun exposure, your skin’s moisture barrier may be compromised. UV rays affect your skin barrier by weakening the proteins that hold skin cells together, thus compromising the protectiveness of this layer. This can then lead to a loss of moisture and hydration and an increase in your skins vulnerability to external irritants and the effects of free radicals. The results can include, increased redness and inflammation, flaky , rough textured skin, dullness and premature ageing.
The key to help your skin barrier function is through rehydration of hyaluronic acid and vital skin lipids both are essential to restore balance, plumpness and health to your skin.
Try:
🔹 Éminence Kombucha Microbiome Balancing Essence
With pre, pro and post biotics this essence will perfectly hydrate and support your skin barrier function and skin microbiome, working in harmony with each other to better protect your skin.
🔹 Éminence Strawberry Rhubarb Hyaluronic Serum
With botanical multi-level hyaluronic acid this serum will help lock in vital hydration at the skins surface, whilst infusing the deeper layers with much needed hydration to plump and soothe your skin
We also love:
Kombucha Microbiome Leave-on Masque mixed with Stone Crop Hydrating Mist. The blend of stone crop and aloe, in this mist helps calm redness and hydrates instantly, added to this soothing masque which you can apply as a masque or leave-on, it is like giving your skin an intense blast of hydration!
3. Treat Sun Damage & Hyperpigmentation
Why: UV exposure triggers melanin production a natural process within your skin to protect it from UV rays, Prolonged exposure though can cause problems with melanin production causing it to over produce and lead to sunspots, hyperpigmentation and areas of darker, uneven tone.
There are products you can use that can help reduce and lighten those darker areas but remember the sun is the main cause so you would need to protect your skin from UV rays with a good SPF product, otherwise you will see it again and again!
Try:
🔹 Éminence Bright Skin Licorice Root Booster-Serum
This potent brightening serum targets dark spots with natural hydroquinone alternatives like licorice root and punarnava.
🔹 Follow at night with Éminence Bright Skin Overnight Correcting Cream
While you sleep, this cream hydrates and visibly reduces discoloration — ideal for nighttime repair.
Prevent Further Dark Spots With:
Éminence Bright Skin Moisturiser SPF40, is the perfect daytime option to protect your skin from harmful UV rays with Natural Hydroquinone Alternative this moisturiser not only has mineral SPF40 but also helps to treat and prevent hyperpigmentation.
4. Soothe & Strengthen with Antioxidants
Why: Antioxidants are a skins best friend (well the bodies actually!) they help repair skin by neutralizing free radicals and supporting collagen production. Infusing your skin with antioxidant rich products help to reduce the damage from free radicals and slow down the ageing process!
Try:
🔹 Éminence Citrus & Kale Potent C+E Serum
Packed with stabilized Vitamin C, leafy greens, and ferulic acid, this powerhouse serum defends against oxidative stress, minimising free radical damage, whilst helping to sooth your summer skin, and brighten your fall complexion.
🔹 Éminence Firm Skin Acai Cleanser

Antioxidants Everywhere!
Éminence is made from botanical ingredients which are full of antioxidants, so whichever product you choose you will find them jammed with beneficial ingredients such as antioxidants to help heal and protect your skin.
5. Don’t Ditch SPF Just Yet
Why: UV rays can still be intense as we go into September and beyond, and don’t forget that even on cloudy days you are exposed to UV rays and therefore potential UV damage to your skin. Keep your skin protected as you repair by wearing your SPF, preferably a mineral SPF, every day.
Try:
🔹 Éminence Lilikoi Daily Defense Moisturizer SPF 40
A lightweight, reef-safe mineral SPF that doubles as a daily hydrator — no white cast, just glow. This broad spectrum SPF protection also has blue light protection helping to minimise the effects of blue light radiation on your skin which could cause premature ageing.
🔹 Éminence Daily Defense Tinted SPF 50+
A liquid, reef-safe mineral SPF with a versatile sheer tint to compliment your skin tone and blur imperfections. With our highest SPF protection you can apply this silky fluid over your favourite moisturiser or on its own as your daily SPF moisturiser.
Alternative On-The-Go SPF Powder!
To ensure you are protected fully from the sun it is recommended to re-apply your sunscreen every 2 hours! Now we know this is not always possible so Éminence have come up with a perfect solution…. Sun Defense Mineral Powders with SPF 30. Available in 6 shades there is an option for everyone including a “colourless” option. They come with a brush applicator and can be applied and re-applied anywhere. Simply dispense the mineral SPF powder into the brush with a tap and brush on to the face & neck. Easy Peasy!
