Your Myrtle Beach Summer Skincare Survival Guide: Expert Tips from Sculpt Skin Solutions
August 4, 2025
Myrtle Beach summers are full of sunshine, saltwater, and Southern humidity—and while they’re perfect for pool days and beach strolls, they can do a number on your skin. From sunburns and breakouts to dullness and dehydration, your skincare routine needs a seasonal shift to keep up.
At Sculpt Skin Solutions, we specialize in helping our Myrtle Beach community achieve radiant, healthy skin all year long—especially during the heat of summer. Here’s our ultimate guide to surviving the season with glowing confidence.
1. SPF is Non-Negotiable
Whether you're spending the day at Broadway at the Beach, enjoying a boat ride on the Intracoastal Waterway, or simply walking the Market Common, sun protection is your skin’s best friend. UV rays in Myrtle Beach are strong, and unprotected exposure can cause premature aging, sun spots, and even skin cancer.
We recommend wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, reapplying every two hours. Our top pick is the Sunbetter Advanced Mineral Protection SPF 75. This lightweight, tinted sunscreen offers serious protection without clogging pores—perfect for everyday wear.
Pro Tip: Keep a stick sunscreen in your beach bag for easy, on-the-go reapplication.
2. Hydration Starts on the Inside (and Outside)
Between long beach days and blasting the AC, your skin can get seriously parched. Dehydrated skin looks dull, feels tight, and can even overproduce oil to compensate—hello, unexpected breakouts.
Start by drinking half your body weight in ounces of water daily. Then add a hydrating serum like the Mystro Active Balance Serum
to your routine. This powerful formula helps restore the skin barrier, lock in moisture, and balance oil production.
If you’re not sure which products are right for your skin type, our Myrtle Beach estheticians are happy to customize a plan that works.
3. Refresh Your Skin with a HydraFacial
Think of HydraFacial
as your skin’s monthly deep clean. In the summer, this treatment is ideal for clearing out sunscreen buildup, environmental grime, and clogged pores caused by sweat and oil. It uses vortex suction and nourishing serums to:
- Exfoliate and remove dead skin cells
- Extract impurities painlessly
- Infuse your skin with antioxidants and hydration
HydraFacial is safe for all skin types and delivers instant glow—making it the #1 facial treatment booked in Myrtle Beach during the summer.
4. Treat and Calm Post-Sun Damage
Even when we’re diligent with SPF, sometimes sun happens. If you’ve overdone it, reach for professional-grade soothing products that calm inflammation and repair damage. At Sculpt Skin Solutions, we love SkinBetter Alto Advanced Defense Serum, which helps neutralize free radicals, reduce redness, and support healing.
We also offer LED Light Therapy, a gentle treatment that accelerates skin recovery and reduces inflammation—perfect after a long day in the sun.
5. Switch to Lightweight Skincare
Summer is not the time for heavy creams and thick oils. They can trap sweat and bacteria, leading to congestion and breakouts. Instead, opt for:
- Gel-based or water-based moisturizers
- Gentle cleansers that won’t strip the skin
- Lightweight serums packed with antioxidants
Hot Tip: Avoid layering too many actives like retinol or AHAs if you’re in the sun often—they can increase sun sensitivity.
