Summer is the season for fun, sun and enjoying the great outdoors. However, all that time spent outside can take a toll on your skin. The summer sun can cause damage, dehydration and premature aging, leaving your skin dull, dry and wrinkled. That's why taking extra care of your skin during summer is crucial.
We've got you covered! At Aesthetic Envy, we know how important it is to care for your skin during summer. In this guide, we'll share our top tips for protecting and nourishing your skin during the summer and our favorite treatments and products to keep your skin looking and feeling its best.
But First, Why?
Keeping your skin healthy all summer offers several benefits, including increased self-confidence and self-esteem. It can help prevent skin problems and aging effects that often arise from sun exposure. And ensuring the safety of your skin in the summertime can motivate you to spend more time outside enjoying the beautiful weather.
Treat Your Face
Facial treatments are a great way to keep your skin looking its best during summer. The treatments we offer at Aesthetic Envy can be helpful for summer skin care in different ways.
HydraFacials are a nonsurgical treatment that utilizes proprietary technology to cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize the skin in a single session. During your session, the treatment can be tailored to address acne, hyperpigmentation or signs of aging.
IPL Photofacials use intense pulsed light to target pigmentation and redness in the skin, which can be especially helpful for sun damage and discoloration caused by the sun.
Laser skin tightening utilizes heat energy to prompt the production of collagen, which can aid in enhancing skin firmness and reducing skin laxity. This can prove helpful in minimizing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and drooping skin due to sun damage.
LED light therapy involves using various light wavelengths to target specific skin issues, including inflammation, acne and signs of aging. It can be an effective and gentle treatment to improve your skin.
Chemical peels are a viable option to eliminate lines and wrinkles and remove dead skin cells. They also enhance the texture and tone of your skin. They can be especially helpful after a summer of prolonged sun exposure.
Dermaplaning is an exfoliating procedure with a small blade to scrape dead skin cells and fine hair from the skin's surface. It can boost skin brightness and texture, allowing for better absorption of skincare products.
Treat Your Body
Remember to take care of the skin on the rest of your body as well! Here are the ways in which each of these procedures can do your skin some good this summer:
Body sculpting treatments can help to contour and shape the body, making it an excellent option for getting ready for swimsuit season. They can reduce unwanted fat in specific areas, such as the abdomen, thighs, or arms.
Cellulite treatments use a variety of techniques, such as massage, radiofrequency, or laser therapy, to reduce the appearance of cellulite on the skin. It can help you avoid feeling self-conscious about wearing shorts or swimsuits.
Emsculpt® is a noninvasive treatment that uses high-intensity electromagnetic energy to stimulate muscle contractions, which can help to tone and firm the muscles in the abdomen, buttocks, thighs, or arms.
Laser hair removal can be a great option for those wanting smooth, hair-free skin during summer. It can be used on a variety of areas, including the legs, underarms, and bikini area.
Skin tightening treatments, such as Viora®, combine RF energy and vacuum therapy to stimulate the body's natural regeneration process and trigger lipolysis to reduce fat cell volume in your abdomen, hips, waist, under the chin, jowls, arms and inner and outer thighs.
Tattoo removal treatments use lasers to break up the ink, allowing the body to eliminate the particles over time naturally. This can be an excellent option for those with a tattoo that they no longer want to show off in summer clothing.
Protect Your Skin from the Sun
To safeguard your skin from the sun, be sure to take precautionary measures when heading outdoors.
Use broad-spectrum sunscreen generously: Make sure your sunblock has an SPF of no less than 30, and reapply every two hours when spending ample time outdoors.
Avoid prolonged periods in the sun: Consider wearing a UV-blocking hat and sunglasses to shield your face and eyes and keep cool in the shade during the hottest times of the day.

Exfoliating your skin removes dead skin cells and reveals smoother, healthier-looking skin.

Try using a gentle exfoliating scrub once a week, or consider a chemical peel or microdermabrasion treatment at our med spa for a deeper exfoliation.

Take Care of Your Lips
When it comes to summer skincare, it's easy to forget about our lips. But, they can get dry, cracked and sunburned, too. And they deserve special treatment.
To keep soft lips all summer long, here are some tips:
Use an SPF lip balm: Your lips also need protection from UV rays. Apply a lip balm that contains SPF 30 or higher to keep your lips safe.
Avoid licking your lips: Licking them can make your lips dry and chapped, as the saliva can evaporate quickly and leave your lips feeling even more parched. Instead, reach for a lip balm when your lips are feeling dry and apply regularly.
Moisturize: A moisturizing lip balm throughout the day keeps your lips hydrated and prevents them from drying or cracking.
