As temperatures begin to rise, it’s time to transition your seasonal skincare routine for the summer. At Restore and Rejuvenate Hydration, we know that every season brings its own set of challenges for your skin. Here’s how to get your complexion summer-ready while keeping that radiant glow.
Summer brings along humidity, more sun exposure, and rising temperatures, all of which can affect your skin’s health. Here are some common issues you might face:
– Increased oil production leading to breakouts
– Sun damage and hyper-pigmentation
– Dehydration, even with all that sweating
– Faster aging due to UV exposure
But don’t worry, we have you covered.
Heavy winter moisturizers can feel like a burden in the summer heat. It’s time to switch to lighter products that hydrate without clogging your pores. Try the SkinBetter Science Trio Rebalancing Moisture Treatment that delivers balanced hydration without heaviness.
Applying SPF daily is a must and crucial! UV damage is the top culprit behind premature aging and can increase your risk of skin cancer. We suggest using a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen, reapplying every two hours when you’re outside. A good option is medical-grade sun protection that is lightweight, yet offers maximum defense.
Regular exfoliation helps slough off dead skin cells that can trap oils and lead to breakouts. But in the summer, you’ll want to be gentler to avoid irritating skin that’s already dealing with more environmental stress. Our HydraFacial treatment strikes the perfect balance between exfoliation and hydration without causing irritation. You can also keep SkinBetter Exfoliating Pads handy to use on a daily basis.
Even though we tend to sweat more in the summer, many folks find their skin feeling parched. That’s where our IV hydration therapies come in, providing that internal boost that reflects beautifully on your skin.
At Restore and Rejuvenate Hydration in Durham, we’ve got the perfect seasonal skincare treatments:
Get your skin prepped with these summer must-haves available at Restore and Rejuvenate Hydration:
Antioxidant Serums: Look for vitamin C formulas to enhance your sun protection and combat free radical damage.
Oil-Free Moisturizers: Lightweight hydration that won’t add to that summer shine.
Mineral Sunscreens: Physical blockers that shield your skin without irritating those heat-sensitive areas.
Gentle Exfoliants: Keep your pores clear without stripping away your skin’s natural oils.
We suggest kicking off your summer skincare transition about 4-6 weeks before the weather really heats up. For those in Durham, that usually means starting your summer routine around April or early May.
Absolutely! Believe it or not, up to 80% of UV rays can sneak through the clouds, so your skin can still get damaged on those overcast days. Make it a habit to apply broad-spectrum SPF every day of the year, but be extra careful during the summer months when the UV index is higher.
Not at all! You just need to switch to a lighter moisturizer. Oily skin in the summer often happens because of dehydration, which makes your skin produce more oil to compensate. Our aestheticians can help you find oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturizers that hydrate without weighing you down.
Regular professional treatments like our HydraFacial are great for keeping your pores clear. At home, try using gentle exfoliants 2-3 times a week, opt for lighter products, and make sure to cleanse right after sweating. Our acne-specific treatments can also help you tackle those pesky summer breakouts.
Yes, you can, but with a few adjustments. Treatments like HydraFacial and certain light peels are perfect for summer. However, more intensive treatments like deeper chemical peels or laser resurfacing are usually better saved for the fall or winter when the sun isn’t as strong.
Prevention is key, but if you do end up with a sunburn, apply some cooling aloe vera, take anti-inflammatory medication if needed, stay hydrated, and keep the affected area moisturized and protected while it heals. If the burn is severe, don’t hesitate to reach out to a healthcare provider.
Incorporate brightening ingredients like vitamin C into your routine, make sure to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, and think about scheduling professional treatments such as chemical peels during the off-season. Plus, don’t forget to wear protective clothing and hats when you’re out in the sun!
