The Spa at Gervasi has a team of dedicated experts who understand what happens to their clients’ skin when the seasons change in Ohio. Going from the warm temperatures and sun-filled summer to the colder days and nights of fall, can have major effects on the skin.
A few of the key changes to a person’s skin in fall include Dryness and Dehydration: Lower humidity levels and the start of indoor heating strip moisture faster, leading to a tight, rough, or dull feeling; Flaking and Dead Cell Buildup: Summer protection can cause dead skin cells to accumulate on the surface, which leads to flaking and a rough texture; and Increased Sensitivity and Redness: Cool winds and dropping temperatures weaken the outer skin layer, making it more prone to irritation.
In addition to all of that, breakouts can happen because summer oil production can linger; dead skin cells can trap oil and bacteria in pores as the air cools, triggering unexpected blemishes. And conditions such as eczema or rosacea frequently worsen during seasonal shifts due to rapid moisture loss.
The expert team at The Spa at Gervasi knows just how to help treat such conditions. Starting with hydrating skin treatments.
“Our nourishing body scrubs hydrate the skin and replenish from the summer sun,” said Amanda Shaw, Spa Operations Manager. “Also, our Hydrafacial experience removes sun damage from the summer sun and hydrates the skin as we move into the dry season in Ohio. One of our newest treatments is the Smoothing Body Polish and Ultimate Zen Body Wrap. Also, our new Lymphatic Flow Body Service is 80 or 110 minutes.”
The top five services Shaw highly recommends for fall include:
-
- HydraFacial – removes dead skin cells and impurities while also replenishing the skin with essential nutrients and hydration.
- Gervasi Signature Customized Facial – this facial is tailored to your specific skin needs. Also, it is 80 minutes of pure indulgence.
- Harmonizing Facial – great for sensitive skin heading into the colder months.
- Glow So Bright Facial – specifically designed for extremely dry skin. It also targets sun damage from the summer sun.
- Gentleman’s Facial – This facial was created for tougher skin and targets dead skins cells while offering deep cleansing.
How to prepare for the colder fall weather
Moisture is key during the colder months. Hot oil scalp therapy, adding an additional skin moisturize such as a body oil can help dramatically in skin hydration and will create an extra barrier of protection. Regular use of cuticle oil will help with dry, cracked nails during the dry season.

Self-care is important to everyone
Self-care is important to all of us. It is a deliberate, science-backed practice that reduces chronic stress, prevents physical and mental illness, and sustains everyone’s long-term well-being.
Self-Care makes a difference for many reasons, including reducing stress and burnout, protecting your physical health, supporting mental health, improving relationships, and building you up to help others.
As outlined by the Mental Health First Aid Guide, you must take care of yourself first, in order for you to be properly equipped to support loved ones through difficult times or crises.
The Spa offers the exact services needed for self-care, including massages, skincare, makeup, body indulgences, nail care, and Med Spa Monday.
Shaw said, “Self-care is paramount as we head into the season of giving. Remember: we can’t give from an empty cup. Fill yourself with an experience at The Spa at Gervasi Vineyard.”
