Why Late Summer Is the Best Time to Start Anti-Aging Treatments

Why Late Summer Is Ideal for Anti-Aging Skincare

After months of UV exposure, travel, dehydration, and heat, your skin is likely showing:

• Fine lines or rough texture
  
  

• Loss of elasticity or plumpness
  
  

• Hyperpigmentation or dullness
  
  

August is the perfect window to start reversing those signs before the dry, cold weather of fall hits.

Rather than wait until winter, start now while your skin is still recovering from summer and highly responsive to repair-focused treatments.

What Happens to Your Skin As You Age?

Starting in your late 20s and early 30s:

• Collagen drops ~1% per year
  
  

• Cell turnover slows down
  
  

• Elasticity weakens
  
  

• Sun damage accumulates, causing pigment and sagging
  
  

But with the right ingredients and tools, you can slow this process dramatically—and even reverse some early signs.
