Collagen Season Is Here: Start Rebuilding Before Winter Hits

October marks a seasonal turning point—not just in the weather but in your skin’s behaviour. As temperatures drop and humidity levels decrease, your skin begins to shift into protective mode. It becomes more vulnerable to dryness, dullness, and the early signs of collagen decline. This is why October is the ideal month to take proactive steps and begin collagen support before winter truly sets in.
At Upper Village Spa, we view this transitional period as Collagen Season—a window of opportunity where the right treatments and rituals can prep and protect your skin for the colder months ahead. Together, let’s explore how collagen production changes with age and climate, why October is the optimal time to act, and which professional treatments can visibly restore firmness, smoothness, and radiance.
What Collagen Does for Your Skin—And Why It Declines
Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body. In the skin, it acts like scaffolding, providing strength, firmness, and a plump, youthful texture. Starting as early as your mid-20s, your body begins to produce less collagen each year. By the time you reach 40, collagen production has dropped significantly, leading to visible signs such as fine lines, sagging, and dullness.
Factors like sun exposure, dehydration, stress, and diet can speed up this process. Add in the environmental changes of fall, cooler temperatures, indoor heating, and wind, and the skin’s barrier becomes more fragile, making collagen loss even more noticeable.
The good news? With the right treatments and home care, you can stimulate collagen synthesis, reinforce your skin’s natural defences, and maintain a firm, luminous appearance year-round.
Why October Is the Best Time to Support Collagen Production
After summer, your skin is often depleted from UV exposure, travel, heat, and dehydration. October provides a moment of balance—before the dry, harsh cold of winter kicks in. Supporting collagen now helps your skin:
Rebuild strength and firmness from the inside out
Minimise post-summer fatigue and visible fine lines
Increase resilience before winter dryness peaks
Lock in hydration and nutrients when skin is still responsive
This timing allows your skin to regenerate and strengthen before it has to defend itself from winter’s challenges.

The Power Duo: OxyGeneo™ + Microneedling
Our Skin Team recommends starting with a targeted treatment plan: combining the OxyGeneo Facial Series with Microneedling. This duo offers a deeply effective yet gentle way to support long-term collagen health.
🔹 OxyGeneo Series
This high-performance facial uses red algae and peptides to stimulate collagen production, firm the skin, and improve overall texture. OxyGeneo™ technology exfoliates, oxygenates, and infuses active ingredients—making it a 3-in-1 powerhouse that delivers both instant glow and long-term rejuvenation.
Reduces fine lines and dullness
Improves skin density and elasticity
Enhances absorption of skin-renewing ingredients
Zero downtime, making it perfect for a series of treatments
🔹 Microneedling
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, significantly boosting collagen and elastin production over time.
Targets deeper wrinkles, scarring, and laxity
Improves tone and texture
Firms and lifts contours
Best performed in cooler months to avoid sun sensitivity
Together, these treatments form a comprehensive plan to restore vitality and firmness while preparing the skin for winter’s demands.
Support Collagen from the Inside and Out
Professional treatments work best when supported with a thoughtful home care routine. In addition to using targeted serums and moisturisers, October is a perfect time to introduce internal collagen support.
We recommend adding GLOW: Collagen + Hydrate Electrolyte + Reishi Mushroom to your daily wellness routine:
10,000 mg marine collagen peptides to support skin structure
Reishi mushroom for immune and adaptogenic support
Hydrating electrolytes to combat dryness and fatigue
This holistic approach strengthens skin from all angles—helping to maintain elasticity, brightness, and bounce between facial appointments.
This Is the Season to Act
Think of October as the skin’s planning phase: what you do now will shape how your skin looks and feels all winter long. Investing in collagen support now means you’ll avoid the common pitfalls of winter skin such as tightness, dullness, and accelerated aging.
And with treatments like OxyGeneo and Microneedling, your skin will be equipped to stay firm, hydrated, and glowing through every seasonal shift.
