Summer can be a tricky time for skincare treatments due to increased sun exposure and the risk of photosensitivity. However, there are several treatments that are generally safe and effective for maintaining healthy, glowing skin during the warmer months.
At Physicians Institute, we believe that healthy, radiant skin starts with the right skincare routine and treatments tailored to the specific demands of the current season. In this blog post, we’ll explore some of the best facial products and treatments to keep your skin glowing all summer long.
1. Sunscreen: Your Best Friend Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is crucial year-round, but it’s especially important during summer when sun exposure is at its peak. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and remember to reapply every two hours, especially if you’re swimming or sweating.
2. Lightweight Moisturizer Heavy creams can feel greasy and clog pores in the heat. Opt for a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer that absorbs quickly and won’t weigh down your skin.
3. Antioxidant Serum Antioxidants like vitamin C can protect your skin from environmental damage and brighten your complexion. Incorporating an antioxidant serum into your routine can help combat free radicals and maintain your skin’s youthful glow.
4. Hydrating Mist A refreshing facial mist can hydrate and cool your skin throughout the day. Look for mists containing ingredients like aloe vera and hyaluronic acid to soothe and replenish moisture.
1. Hydrafacial Hydrafacial is a popular non-invasive treatment that combines cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration in one session. It’s perfect for summer as it deeply cleanses pores, removes dead skin cells, and infuses the skin with moisturizing serums, leaving you with a radiant and refreshed complexion.
2. Chemical Peels Chemical peels can help address sun damage, uneven skin tone, and texture issues. Opt for a light to medium peel that will exfoliate the top layers of your skin, revealing smoother and more even-toned skin beneath. Always follow up with sunscreen to protect your newly exfoliated skin.
3. Microneedling Microneedling creates tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating collagen production and enhancing product absorption. It’s an excellent treatment for reducing the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and improving overall skin texture. Pair it with a hydrating serum for optimal results.
4. LED Light Therapy LED light therapy uses different wavelengths of light to target various skin concerns. Blue light helps combat acne by killing bacteria, while red light reduces inflammation and promotes collagen production. This painless treatment can be a great addition to your summer skincare routine.
