Hydration, Protection & Glow: Your Summer Skin Essentials
Written by Mia Gregory, Patient Care Coordinator
Summer brings sunshine, vacations, lake days, and more time outdoors, but it can also leave the skin feeling dehydrated, irritated, and more vulnerable to sun damage. Increased UV exposure, heat, sweat, and environmental stressors can contribute to dryness, pigmentation, and premature aging if the skin isn’t properly protected.
The key to maintaining healthy, radiant skin all season long is combining professional treatments with a simple yet effective skincare routine focused on hydration, protection, and prevention.
Our Favorite Summer Treatments
HydraFacial
HydraFacial is one of our favorite summer treatments because it deeply cleanses, exfoliates, extracts impurities, and infuses the skin with intense hydration. All with no downtime. Our Deluxe HydraFacial includes a customized booster serum and LED light therapy, allowing us to target concerns such as dehydration, dullness, uneven tone, and congestion while leaving skin refreshed, balanced, and glowing.
Total Relaxation Facial
For those looking to restore both their skin and their stress levels, our Total Relaxation Facial focuses on strengthening the skin barrier while delivering a deeply calming experience. This treatment includes cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, cooling globes, Brazilian lymphatic drainage, and extensive facial, scalp, neck, shoulder, arm, and hand massage. It’s the perfect reset for skin that feels depleted from summer sun and activities.
Microneedling with PDGF
Microneedling remains one of our favorite corrective treatments year-round, including summer when performed with proper precautions. This treatment creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production while helping improve brightness, fine lines, acne scars, texture, and overall skin quality.
When paired with PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor), the skin receives additional support for healing and rejuvenation, helping enhance results and recovery.
When proper aftercare is followed, microneedling can be safely incorporated into a summer skincare plan while continuing to support long-term skin health and collagen production.
Summer Skincare Must-Haves
SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic
Daily antioxidant protection is essential year-round, but especially during the summer months. C E Ferulic helps neutralize free radicals generated by UV exposure and environmental stressors while visibly improving brightness and reducing signs of aging. Think of it as an added layer of defense underneath your sunscreen.
Skinbetter Science Trio Rebalancing Moisture Treatment
Hydration is one of the most important components of healthy summer skin. Trio Rebalancing Moisture Treatment is designed to support the skin’s natural moisture balance while providing long-lasting hydration where it’s needed most. It's heavy hydration without the weight!
Skinbetter Science Even Tone Correcting Serum
Sun exposure can often make existing pigmentation more noticeable. Even Tone helps improve the appearance of discoloration and uneven skin tone while promoting a brighter, more radiant complexion. It’s an excellent option for those looking to maintain a more even skin tone throughout the summer months.
Colorescience Sunforgettable Total Protection Face Shield Flex + Face Shield Glow
If there’s one product we recommend every single day this summer, it’s sunscreen.
Face Shield Flex provides broad spectrum SPF 50 protection while delivering a natural tint that adapts to your skin tone for lightweight, complexion-enhancing coverage. Face Shield Glow adds a beautiful, luminous finish that leaves skin looking healthy and radiant.
Many clients love wearing Flex on its own in place of foundation or combining Flex and Glow for customizable coverage and a dewy, sun-kissed look, all while protecting their skin from harmful UV damage.
