Glow Season: Why October Is the Perfect Time to Refresh Your Skin

As the -ber months roll in, October marks the perfect reset button for your skin. The whirlwind of summer sun exposure has passed, and the holiday rush is just around the corner. It’s the sweet spot where self-care becomes both necessary and rewarding — and your skin deserves to get in on the glow-up.

Transition Weather = Transition Skincare

October in Manila brings cooler evenings and less intense sun compared to the peak summer months. This shift makes it an ideal time to address sun damage, pigmentation, or dryness that may have built up earlier in the year. Treatments like gentle chemical peels, skin boosters, or hydrating facials are especially effective during this season.

Pre-Holiday Glow Goals

Most people feel they need to look their absolute best when December finally hits, because of all the reunions, office parties, and mini getaways. Starting your treatment and skin care routine in October ensures that your skin heals, recovers, and allows your natural radiance to come out before all the fun starts. Think of this as a beauty “warm up”.

The Skin Is More Receptive

Your skin is more productive and responds to treatment better when there is less sun and UV rays getting to your skin. Treatments such as laser rejuvenation, micro needling, and some of the contouring technologies and devices get better results if they are done earlier in the year, compared to the more traditional methods of saving treatment for later in the year.

Mental Reset, Too

Skin care shouldn’t only be about how clearing up your skin is an issue that is only for the ‘vanity’ of it, but it is about how your feelings and the mental side of yourself aligns with the appearance that reflection shows. There is a psychological improvement when someone has a clear and bright skin which in return encourages that person to continue maintaining the healthier skin routine even when the year is about to end.
