Achieve Radiant Skin with Expert Recommendations from Sculpt Skin Solutions

Embrace Radiant Summer Skin

Summer is here, and it's time to give your skincare routine a seasonal refresh. As the temperature rises and the sun shines brighter, our skin faces unique challenges that require specific care. In this blog post, we’ll explore essential summer skincare products, good practices to adopt, and top treatment recommendations to keep your skin glowing and healthy all season long.


Summer Skincare Products

  • Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen:
  • Recommendation: Neocutis Journee Revitalizing Day Cream SPF 30
  • Why: Sunscreen is your skin's best defense against harmful UV rays. A broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30 is essential to protect against both UVA and UVB rays, preventing sunburn, premature aging, and skin cancer.
  • Lightweight Moisturizer:
  • Recommendation: SkinBetter Science Trio Rebalancing Moisture Treatment
  • Why: Opt for a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer to keep your skin balanced without feeling greasy. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides to maintain moisture levels.
  • Antioxidant Serum:
  • Recommendation: SkinBetter Science Alto Defense Serum
  • Why: Antioxidants help combat free radical damage caused by sun exposure. Vitamin C, E, and ferulic acid are excellent choices to enhance your skin's natural defenses and brighten your complexion.
  • Gentle Cleanser:
  • Recommendation: Neocutis Neo-Cleanse Gentle Skin Cleanser
  • Why: A gentle, non-foaming cleanser effectively removes sweat, sunscreen, and impurities without stripping your skin of its natural oils.
  • Exfoliating Product:
  • Recommendation: SkinBetter Science AlphaRet Exfoliating Peel Pads
  • Why: Regular exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and promote cell turnover. Use exfoliating pads once or twice a week for a smooth, radiant complexion.


Good Summer Skincare Practices

  • Stay Hydrated:
  • Tip: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Aim for at least 8 glasses of water daily.
  • Avoid Peak Sun Hours:
  • Tip: Try to stay out of direct sunlight between 10 AM and 4 PM when UV rays are the strongest. Seek shade or wear protective clothing if you need to be outside.
  • Wear Protective Clothing:
  • Tip: Wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and lightweight, long-sleeved shirts can provide additional protection against sun damage.
  • Reapply Sunscreen:
  • Tip: Reapply sunscreen every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating. Don't forget areas like your ears, neck, and the tops of your feet.
  • Adjust Your Routine:
  • Tip: Switch to lighter products in the summer to avoid clogging pores. Use a gel-based cleanser and oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin fresh.


Top Summer Skincare Treatments

  • Hydrafacial:
  • Why: A Hydrafacial deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin. This treatment is perfect for maintaining a clear, radiant complexion and can help reduce the appearance of pores and fine lines.
  • Light Chemical Peels:
  • Why: Light chemical peels can rejuvenate your skin by removing dead skin cells and stimulating new cell growth. It's an excellent treatment for addressing sun damage and uneven skin tone and has less downtime than deeper peels.
  • Microneedling:
  • Why: Microneedling stimulates collagen production and can improve the texture and firmness of your skin. It’s particularly effective for treating sun-induced fine lines and hyperpigmentation.
