Transitioning Your Skincare for Autumn: Expert Advice from Claire Scannell
As we say goodbye to summer and step into a new season, it’s not just your wardrobe that needs an update — your skincare routine does too.
Claire Scannell, skin expert and founder of The Skin Lab in Killarney, joined Deirdre Walsh on Radio Kerry’s Talkabout to share her top tips for transitioning your skincare routine this autumn.
“Autumn is the time to repair,” Claire explained. After a summer of sun exposure, travel, and outdoor living, the skin often needs hydration, nourishment, and targeted treatments to tackle pigmentation and rebuild the skin barrier.
Key tips from Claire’s interview included:
🍂 Switching to richer moisturisers to help retain hydration as temperatures drop.
🌫️ Exfoliating gently to brighten skin and remove post-summer buildup.
💉 In-clinic treatments like peels and LED therapy can be ideal in autumn, when sun exposure is reduced.
☁️ SPF is still essential — even on cloudy days!
Claire also highlighted how personalised skin consultations can identify exactly what your skin needs as we move into the colder months — especially for those dealing with redness, dryness, or dullness.
The feature is a must-listen for anyone who wants to put their best face forward this autumn. Catch the full interview now on RadioKerry.ie or follow The Skin Lab on social for more seasonal skincare tips.
