Summer lasts a long time in Antalya, so skin settles its account late. Four things become clear in September:
- The pigment that built up over summer becomes visible as the tan fades.
- After the sea, the pool and hot showers, the skin barrier is weakened; dryness and tightness increase.
- The extra oiliness of the summer months can give way to a combination or dry skin at the change of season.
- Seasonal hair shedding starts to speed up; September and October are the peak of this period.
This month is less about adding something new and more about repairing what summer left behind.
