Summer Wrecked Your Skin - Here's What to do Next

The hot summer sun can do a number on your skin, leaving it dry, dull, and spotted. But there's no need to despair – here’s how you can erase the damage and have your skin looking its best for the upcoming fall celebrations!

First, ensure you're cleansing, moisturizing, and applying sunscreen regularly. Second, add peels to your skincare routine. Third, add microneedling to your routine. By following these simple tips, you can help ensure that your skin looks its best heading into fall celebrations and beyond.

It's important to cleanse your skin.

Washing your face twice a day is an essential step in any skincare routine. It removes dirt, oil, and makeup that can clog pores and cause breakouts. Choose a gentle cleanser appropriate for your skin type and massage it onto damp skin in circular motions. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat your face dry with a soft towel.

Use moisturizer daily

Apply sunscreen daily

It's a common misconception that sunscreen is only needed when spending time outdoors in the sun. However, the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation are not limited to sunny days at the beach. In fact, UV rays can penetrate glass and cause damage to the skin even when you're indoors.

That's why we recommend applying sunscreen daily, even if you stay inside. Ultraviolet radiation is a known risk factor for skin cancer, and it can also cause premature aging, wrinkles, and sunspots. By applying sunscreen every day, you can help to protect your skin from these harmful effects. And don't forget to reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating.

Add peels to your skincare routine

Exfoliating your skin is vital for maintaining a healthy glow. This process removes dead skin cells and encourages new cell growth. Chemical peels are one method of exfoliation that can be very effective, especially for those with oily or acne-prone skin. Peels work by breaking down dead skin cells, causing them to slough off more easily.

This not only helps to improve the skin's appearance but can also reduce the likelihood of clogged pores and breakouts. When used consistently, chemical peels can help to achieve and maintain clear, healthy skin. Peels are typically performed every four to six weeks, and a series of peels may be necessary to achieve desired results.


Do a series of microneedling treatments.

If you're looking for a way to improve the appearance of your skin, you may want to consider a series of microneedling treatments. This procedure involves using fine needles to create tiny skin surface holes. This may sound like it would do more harm than good, but the reality is that microneedling can help to stimulate collagen production and promote healing.

As a result, microneedling can be used to improve the texture and tone of the skin. It can also help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scars. Best of all, microneedling is a relatively safe and non-invasive procedure that can be performed in minutes. So if you're looking for a way to give your skin a boost, microneedling may be just what you need.

The summer sun can wreak havoc on your skin, leaving it dry, dull, and damaged. But with a little TLC, you can get your skin back in tip-top shape just in time for fall celebrations. By following the tips outlined above, you can help to repair the damage summer has done to your skin and achieve a healthy, radiant complexion. 

While it may seem counterintuitive, regularly moisturizing your skin is essential, even if it is naturally oily. When skin lacks moisture, it produces even more oil to balance things out. This can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. In addition, dry skin is more prone to fine lines and wrinkles.

Moisturizing helps to keep skin looking plump and youthful. Choose a light, oil-free moisturizer for oily skin types. For dry skin, choose a rich moisturizer. Apply it after cleansing while your skin is still damp. This will help to seal in moisture and prevent it from evaporating throughout the day.
