Summer brings sun, fun, and many outdoor activities to enjoy. Your skin faces new challenges during these hotter months. Heat, humidity, and sun exposure can affect your skin, facial features and daily care routine.
How Summer Weather Affects Your Skin
Hot weather makes your skin produce more oil. Sweat mixes with this oil and clogs pores. Sun exposure creates dark spots and is known to speed up aging. Pool chemicals and salt water can dry out your skin, something fierce!
These changes can impact your complexion and skincare routine. Understanding these effects helps you maintain healthy tight skin all season long.
Protecting Your Laser Hair Removal Results
Laser hair removal works best when you protect treated areas from sun damage. Sun exposure after a laser hair removal treatment can cause dark spots or uneven skin tone.
Follow these steps:
- Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily
- Wear protective clothing or a wrap over treated areas and a Sun hat
- Avoid direct sun for 48 hours after each session
- Use cooling gels if skin feels irritated
- Choose skincare products that block harmful UV rays
Your investment in smooth hairless skin deserves proper protection. These simple steps keep your results looking their best.
Summer Facial Treatment Schedule
Your skin needs a different care routine in the summer months. Oil production increases, and pores work harder to release sweat and toxins if they are clogged. Excess oil can lead to acne breakouts if not managed properly. (YUK!)
During hot weather, book a facial treatment every 4-6 weeks instead of monthly to accommodate increased oil production. Choose lighter treatments during peak heat to avoid overwhelming your skin. You can also schedule appointments early in the day when possible to minimize heat exposure afterwards. Use gentle cleansers (I recommend Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser) at home between visits to maintain cleanliness without over-stripping natural oils. Include acne treatments for oil control and protection from future break outs. Use gentle exfoliants twice weekly for proper exfoliation, while professional exfoliation removes buildup safely.
Your summer skincare routine should balance professional treatments with proper home care. Professional medical spa treatments help manage summer skin changes. Regular facials prevent breakouts and maintain your healthy glow.
Body Contouring: Summer Prep vs. Summer Maintenance
Many clients start body contouring procedures in spring for summer bikini readiness. But summer is also perfect for some simple maintenance sessions too.
Summer body contouring offers several advantages for maintaining your exercise results. You can maintain results achieved in the gym, with some spring treatments while targeting new problem areas discovered when wearing summer swimwear. This season is ideal for preparing for fall wardrobe changes and staying consistent with tight and tone treatment schedules. Your body changes throughout the year, so summer maintenance keeps you confident in any outfit.
Hydration: Inside and Outside Care
Hot weather dehydrates your skin faster than any other season. This affects how spa treatments work and how your skin heals. Your skin barrier needs moisture to function properly.
Proper hydration starts with drinking 8-10 glasses of water daily to support your skin from within. Apply hydrating lotions with hyaluronic acid to draw moisture into your skin. Use moisturizers with ceramides applied twice daily to strengthen your skin barrier. Keep cooling facial mists handy for quick relief during hot days. Choose skincare products containing Vitamin C for antioxidant protection against environmental damage. Apply Aloe Vera gels for soothing sun-exposed skin and immediate cooling relief.
Also vitamin E also helps repair damage from environmental stressors. Maintaining adequate moisture levels supports all your aesthetic treatments. Well-hydrated skin responds better to procedures and heals faster.
Post-Vacation Skin Recovery
Summer vacations expose skin to new environments. Different climates, water, and sun levels can stress your skin.
Recovery steps:
- Book a consultation with B.A.R.E Spa within two weeks of return
- Use gentle products for the first week back
- Assess any sun damage or new pigmentation
- Resume regular treatment schedule gradually
Professional skin assessments from our team can help address any vacation-related skin changes quickly.
Combining Treatments for Best Summer Results
Summer offers unique opportunities to combine treatments safely. Lower sun exposure indoors makes certain combinations possible.
Popular summer combinations include facial treatments with hydrating serums for maximum moisture retention. Our professional laser skin tightening provides comprehensive facial results. IPL treatments with proper sun protection address pigmentation issues safely when you can avoid sun exposure afterward.
Our team designs treatment plans that work with your summer lifestyle and schedule.
Common Summer Skin Mistakes to Avoid
Many people make skincare errors during hot weather. These mistakes can damage your skin and affect treatment results.
Avoid these errors:
- Skipping sunscreen on cloudy days
- Using heavy moisturizers that clog pores
- Over-washing skin to remove sweat and oil
- Ignoring air conditioning effects on skin moisture
- Delaying treatment appointments due to sun exposure
Prevention is easier than correction. Avoiding these mistakes protects your skin investment.
