Summer is here—and while we love the sunshine, beach days, and warm weather, your skin may not always feel the same way. Heat, humidity, and increased sun exposure can lead to oiliness, breakouts, redness, and long-term sun damage if your skincare routine isn’t adjusted.
At Ageless in the Triad Med Spa, we’ve curated some of our favorite summer skincare tips and product recommendations from the brands we trust most: Obagi, Environ, and Avene. Here’s how to keep your skin calm, clear, and protected all summer long.
🌞 Why You Need to Change Your Skincare Routine in the Summer
As the temperature rises, your skin may produce more oil. This can lead to clogged pores, acne, and increased sensitivity. Summer can also trigger flare-ups of rosacea and worsen pigmentation due to UV exposure. That’s why transitioning your routine with season-appropriate products is essential for healthy skin.
Your Summer Skincare Essentials
💧 Cleanse Smarter, Not Harsher
- Obagi Nu-Derm Foaming Gel
This gentle foaming cleanser is perfect for normal to oily skin. It deeply cleanses without stripping, which helps remove sweat, sunscreen, and excess oil.
- Environ Sebu-Wash Cleanser
Specifically formulated for acne-prone skin, Sebu-Wash helps reduce oil and impurities while maintaining your skin’s natural moisture balance.
🌿 Support, Hydrate, and Protect with Environ
Summer sun can break down collagen, dry out your skin, and lead to visible signs of aging. Environ’s powerful formulations help strengthen and nourish the skin:
- C-Quence Serums
Packed with vitamins A, C, and E, these serums are ideal for reducing sun damage and boosting radiance.
- Derma-Lac Lotion + A, C & E Body Oil
This combination is a summer hero for dry, sun-exposed skin. It exfoliates, hydrates, and helps repair sun-damaged areas—perfect after a long day outdoors.
🌸 Calm Rosacea and Sensitive Skin with Avene
Heat is a common trigger for rosacea, causing redness, inflammation, and discomfort. Avene’s soothing formulas are designed to calm and protect reactive skin:
- Avene Antirougeurs Cleansing Lotion
A gentle cleanser that helps reduce redness while supporting the skin barrier.
- Avene Antirougeurs Calm Redness Relief Soothing Mask
Ideal for calming flushed, overheated skin and reducing the appearance of rosacea.
- Avene Xeracalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Balm or Melting Balm
These deeply hydrating balms help soothe and protect sensitive skin without feeling heavy—great for summer hydration.
🌞 Sun Protection: Your #1 Anti-Aging Strategy
Preventing sun damage is the single most important thing you can do for your skin, especially in summer. Here’s how:
- Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours—especially after swimming or sweating.
- Wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to protect sensitive facial skin.
- Avoid peak sun hours (10 AM–4 PM) when possible.
- Use antioxidant-rich products (like Vitamin C) to neutralize free radicals caused by UV exposure.
💡 Don’t Forget the Basics
Even when you’re busy enjoying the sunshine
- Cleanse every night to remove sweat, sunscreen, and pollution.
- Moisturize daily—even oily skin needs hydration!
- Stay hydrated from the inside out by drinking plenty of water.
