Late Summer Self-care

It’s almost that time of year where the summer days will start to disappear, the evenings are a little bit cooler, and suddenly autumn isn’t so far away. You’ve heard it before, and you’ll hear it again Autumn is my favourite season!

For me, August is the last bit of relaxation before it’s back-to-school madness. I always feel that once the kids are back in school (although I only have one left at school now ) I need to throw myself into work and make up for the time I’ve happily given to family, holidays, and summer fun.

At All About Me Beauty Salon, we’re all about treatments that fit into real life - quick, effective, and instantly mood-boosting. Here are some of my favourites for a late-summer pick-me-up.

1. A Glow-Boosting Facial

If you’re anything like me, after weeks of warm weather, sweating, and maybe a few too many ice creams in the sun, my skin can start to look and feel a little tired, and because I have problematic skin, I can experience a few small breakouts. A targeted facial will deeply cleanse, rehydrate, and bring back that fresh, healthy glow - all in an hour. For me, it’s time well spent and gives me long term results as well. 

2. Lash Lift & Tint

This is one of my go-to “instant transformation” treatments. In less than an hour, your lashes will look longer, darker, and perfectly curled and the best bit, no mascara needed! Perfect if you want to look polished with minimal effort as we head into autumn and I am all about minimal effort!

3. Nail & Cuticle Rescue

Summer has been tough on my nails. A manicure and deluxe pedicure is on my wish list to whip them back into shape. I’ve not yet decided whether I keep it fresh and neutral or start leaning into those richer autumn tones, my favourite! 

4. Brow Shape & Tint

Never underestimate the power of great brows. A quick shape and tint can define your features, frame your face, and make your mornings so much easier.

5. A Little Massage Magic

 Life can be stressful. A 30 minute back, neck, and shoulder massage can ease tension and leave you feeling lighter and calmer (personally I always opt for hot stones) - and you don’t need to spend all day in the treatment room to feel the difference, which is perfect for me!

Why Now’s the Perfect Time?

August really is the calm before the September storm. Once the school runs, meetings, and autumn prep begin, your diary will fill up fast. Treat yourself now, and you’ll glide into the new season feeling refreshed, confident, and ready for whatever it brings.
