Getting back on a schedule is a great time to focus on self-care. Read on to learn which treatments will help your clients revive, refresh and pamper their skin after summer.

Seasonal Skin Care Transition
A long summer of travel, beach time and late-night fireside gatherings may be over, but the effects are still visible on your clients’ skin. Sun, chlorine, salt water (and the occasional cocktail) can dry skin out, and recent temperature swings can add more problems. Your clients need replenishment from head to toe.
Help reverse summer wear and tear with exfoliating and hydrating treatments that restore glow and replenish lost moisture. Guide your clients through this seasonal shift, repairing summer damage while preparing their skin for fall and winter.
Facials
There’s never a bad time for a facial. Deep-cleansing and restorative facials benefit the skin year-round. Some treatments, however, are better suited to certain seasons — and a few should be avoided after summer.
Procedures that increase sun sensitivity, like lasering or strong chemical peels, can cause hyperpigmentation or extra inflammation if the skin is exposed to sunlight. Come fall, though, the skin is usually ready for peels and hydration treatments.
As temperatures cool and indoor heat goes on, skin that was dried by summer can become even more dehydrated, dull and patchy. Fall is actually a great time for gentle peels. They promote cell turnover and remove the layer of dead skin that makes the complexion look tired.
The Yam & Pumpkin Pro Enzyme Peel 20% fits right into the season. Yam pulp purée, rich in beta carotene and vitamins, works with pumpkin’s smoothing enzymes, amino acids and antioxidants. Glycolic and lactic acids plus enzymes from papaya and pineapple boost exfoliation, helping reduce dark spots, fine lines and sun damage — leaving skin firmer and more radiant. For at-home maintenance, send clients home with the Yam & Pumpkin Enzyme Peel 5% to keep up natural exfoliation between visits.
Exfoliation
Exfoliation is a powerful way to restore skin all over the body after a long summer. Sun, sand and salt can roughen texture and strip moisture, but a thorough scrub reveals fresher, smoother skin. Body exfoliation is a great standalone treatment and also an ideal prep for a body wrap.
A professional scrub helps remove dry, rough, summer-damaged skin. For a seasonal choice, the Cranberry Pomegranate Sugar Scrub sets the mood — cranberry and pomegranate are packed with vitamins and antioxidants, and green tea adds soothing benefits.
The AHA Fruit Pulp Treatment uses whole apple and grape pulp to tone, brighten and revitalize. Lactic acid and naseberry gently exfoliate to improve texture and help other treatments absorb better.
The Stone Crop Revitalizing Body Scrub is another solid pick. Stone crop and antioxidant-rich lemon peel work together to brighten and smooth. Follow with a wrap, massage, shower and a calming moisturizer for a noticeable glow.

Body Wraps
Body wraps are lovely any time of year, but they feel extra cozy in fall. Wrapped and tucked under a heated blanket, clients can enjoy benefits like improved circulation, temporary fluid removal, firmer skin and a tighter appearance.
Eminence Organic Skin Care herbal body wraps target dryness, help detoxify and tighten the skin. The Paprika Herbal Treatment includes paprika and a safe amount of stinging nettle to energize the skin’s appearance, plus honey to nourish and hydrate. The Herbal Cellulite Treatment offers similar warming, toning benefits and leaves skin with a healthy glow.
For something indulgent, the Chocolate Truffle Body Wrap is both delicious and effective. It firms and tones crepey, sun-damaged skin. Cocoa provides antioxidants, while almond, jojoba and macadamia nut oils help soften and hydrate.
Massages
On a cool autumn day, a relaxing massage is hard to beat. Whether it’s deep tissue, Swedish, lymphatic drainage or hot stones, fall is the perfect season to encourage clients to slow down and treat themselves.
For great slip and glide, our Product Support Team recommends Apricot Body Oil, made with apricot kernel, grape seed and jojoba oils to make skin feel soft and smooth. Apricot kernel oil is rich in vitamins A, C and E, while grape seed and jojoba are nourishing and hydrating.
Stone Crop Body Oil is another excellent massage option. Formulated with arnica plus stone crop, rosehip and avocado oils, it moisturizes deeply. Spa professional Lindsay O. wrote in a review: “I have been using the Stone Crop Oil in my massage treatment room … and I have to say it’s fantastic! It’s a great medium for deep tissue massage as you need very little, do not have to reapply and it smells fresh! Something we noticed is that the arnica is an added bonus for recovering after receiving a deep tissue massage!”
Finishing Touches & Home Care
Remind clients that sunscreen is essential year-round — even on cloudy fall days. Our Radiant Protection SPF Fluid is a moisturizing all-mineral option that includes bakuchiol, a gentle alternative to traditional retinol. Give clients samples to try, or suggest the Lilikoi Daily Defense Moisturizer SPF 40, which offers moisturizing and sun protection for all skin types.
Encourage clients to keep up their self-care at home with a selection of Eminence products to maintain results between spa visits.
And if you want some pampering yourself this fall, book an appointment with your nearest Eminence Organics Spa Partner.
