Why Your Summer Glow Needs a Professional Touch
When summer rolls in, it brings sunshine, outdoor fun, and, let’s face it, a whole lot of sweat. While this season is great for your mood, it can be rough on your skin. Increased sun exposure, heat, humidity, and even air conditioning can wreak havoc on your complexion. That’s where a smart summer skincare routine (and the occasional professional facial) comes in.
Why Skincare Needs to Change in the Summer
- SUN DAMAGE IS REAL
Even if you’re diligent with sunscreen, UV rays still take a toll—accelerating aging, triggering dark spots, and damaging your skin barrier. Use an oil-free and fragrance-free product with a minimum 30 SPF.
Although we need our Vitamin D (approximately 20 minutes of direct sunlight is enough), UV rays also cause inflammation, dehydration, cell mutation, cell damage from free-radicals, pigmentation and skin cancer. For maximum effectiveness, SPF needs to be regularly applied every few hours. Applying it once at 8am will not last you throughout the day.
- SWEAT AND OIL BUILDUP
Hot weather means your sweat glands and oil production go into overdrive. This can lead to clogged pores, breakouts, and a dull appearance.
It is tempting to apply a good moisturizer during sticky summer months, but your skin will be producing more sebum, generating that recognizable ‘summer shine’ and clogging pores. However, your skin still needs serious moisture, so replace heavy winter, oil-based creams with lighter, oil-free or water-based serums, plumping your skin while also hydrating.
- DEHYDRATION STRIKES DIFFERENTLY
Between sun, saltwater, and AC, your skin can become parched without you even realizing it resulting in flakiness, tightness, and fine lines. It’s very easy to forget to hydrate, especially when you are busy with summer activities. If you tend to get distracted and forgetful, set the alarm on your phone at regular intervals as a reminder to drink some water.
Your Summer Skincare Strategy
While a good home routine is key, professional treatments can make all the difference in how your skin looks and feels during the summer months.
