As we move into winter and fall, these seasons become one of the best times to begin deep, targeted skincare. With lower UV exposure, cooler temperatures, and the natural “reset” that comes with a new season, your skin is primed for professional treatments and long-term transformation. This is also why we recommend starting your 365 Day Skin Plan in the fall. It allows you to repair, reset, and build healthy skin habits that carry you through the entire year. Why Fall Works So Well for Corrective Treatments After months of sunscreen, sweat, heat, and sun exposure, most people enter fall with some level of dehydration, congestion, and pigmentation. Fall provides the safest conditions to treat these concerns because UV levels are significantly lower and the skin barrier is more stable. This makes it the perfect time for treatments such as chemical peels, IPL , laser therapy, and microneedling, services that work best when your skin isn’t battling sun exposure. Common post-summer skin concerns include: Hyperpigmentation Sun spots Dullness or uneven tone Texture and fine lines Breakouts triggered by heat and SPF A weakened or inflamed skin barrier Treating these concerns in the fall prevents them from worsening throughout winter and accelerates your results. What is the 365 Day Plan? Your 365 Day Skin Plan is a personalized, year-long roadmap designed to help you achieve meaningful and lasting change. Instead of taking a one-off, seasonal approach, the plan looks at your skin from every angle: daily habits, lifestyle, treatment tolerance, goals, and how seasonal shifts affect your results. A true year-long strategy typically blends corrective treatments in fall and winter, hydration and repair during colder months, preventative care in spring, and protection and maintenance throughout summer. The result is consistent progress, fewer setbacks, and healthier skin year-round. The Benefits of Starting in the Fall Treat summer sun damage right away while the skin is most responsive to corrective treatments. Strengthen your skin barrier before winter, preventing dryness, sensitivity, and inflammation during Calgary’s colder months. Enter the holiday season glowing , with a routine that supports hydration, brightness, and resilience. See major transformation by next summer, including clearer, smoother, more even-toned skin. Build momentum with each season, as your 365 plan adjusts to your skin’s needs for continuous, long-term results. What to Expect Depending on the treatments recommended for your plan, you may experience short-term side effects such as slight redness, flaking, tightness, or temporary sensitivity. These are normal and usually resolve within a few days. Your provider will walk you through every step so you know exactly what to expect, what to avoid, and how to care for your skin at home. Your plan also includes seasonal adjustments, professional recommendations, and check-ins to keep your progress on track. Ready to Begin?

The Calgary Stampede is a city-wide celebration — and your skin is in the middle of it all. Between the heat, dust, cocktails, sweat, and full-glam makeup, your skin is working overtime. But it doesn’t have to suffer. Here’s your Stampede Skin Survival Guide from our clinical team at That Master Nurse — complete with products we recommend and treatments that actually work. Before You Go: Your skin needs protection before the party even starts. SPF is non-negotiable. Brush-on formulas are portable and easy to reapply. Vitamin C serum offers antioxidant support and helps prevent sun damage. Hale Derma mist keeps bacteria at bay and calms redness while you're out and about. Hydration matters. Water + electrolytes help prevent dehydration and inflammation. While You’re Out: A few small habits can make a big difference. Reapply sunscreen every 2–3 hours. Use Hale Derma to manage sweat and soothe skin irritation. Keep cleansing wipes handy to remove grime or makeup if needed. Alternate drinks with water to support your skin from the inside out. After the Rodeo: Your skin is tired — treat it with kindness. Double cleanse. First to remove SPF + makeup, then to cleanse your skin. Skip harsh actives. Instead, reach for hydration and barrier repair. Vitamin C and moisturizer help calm and reset the skin overnight. Once It’s All Over: Come back to clinic for recovery support. Vivier V-Stat Advanced Repair Gel is perfect for sunburns or irritation. Chemical peels are gentle but effective for clearing congestion and brightening skin.

Skincare isn’t one-size-fits-all. What works for your best friend, your favourite influencer, or your past self might not work for your skin right now. Here’s the truth: Most people put in the effort. What they’re missing is a long-term plan tailored to their skin's unique needs. Without the right treatment order, timing, or clinical insight, even the best products and treatments can fall short.
