Summer is here, bringing sunshine, vacations, pool days, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. While warmer weather can do wonders for your mood, it can also be one of the toughest seasons for your skin. Increased UV exposure, heat, humidity, sweat, chlorine, and dehydration can all contribute to breakouts, premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and dullness.
At A Better You, we believe that beautiful skin isn’t about chasing perfection—it’s about protecting, maintaining, and investing in your skin year-round. Whether your goal is to prevent sun damage, refresh tired skin, soften fine lines, or prepare for holiday events later this year, now is the perfect time to create a personalized skincare plan.
Summer Skincare Essentials for Every Skin Type
No matter your age or skin type, a few healthy habits can make a dramatic difference:
Wear Sunscreen Every Day
If there’s one skincare product you should never skip, it’s sunscreen. Daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher helps protect against:
- Premature aging
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sunspots and hyperpigmentation
- Melasma flare-ups
- Skin cancer
Remember to reapply every two hours when outdoors and after swimming or excessive sweating. Sunscreen isn’t just for the beach—it’s essential while driving, walking, and even sitting near sunny windows.
Stay Hydrated
Summer heat can quickly dehydrate both your body and your skin. Drink plenty of water and use lightweight, hydrating skincare products that support your skin barrier without clogging pores.
Cleanse Without Over-Stripping
Sweat and sunscreen can build up throughout the day, but harsh cleansers can leave your skin irritated. Choose gentle cleansing and professional treatments that remove impurities while maintaining healthy hydration.
Professional Treatments That Are Perfect for Summer
Many advanced skincare treatments can safely be performed during the summer with proper sun protection.
Préime DermaFacial
Looking for radiant, healthy skin without significant downtime? The Préime DermaFacial is one of our favorite treatments to keep your skin refreshed all summer long.
Unlike traditional facials, the Préime DermaFacial is a customizable, multi-technology treatment that can be tailored to your unique skin concerns. Whether you’re looking to hydrate dry skin, improve acne, brighten uneven tone, reduce congestion, or soften the appearance of fine lines, your provider can personalize your treatment to help you achieve your skincare goals.
Depending on your skin’s needs, your Préime DermaFacial may include advanced technologies such as:
- Deep cleansing and gentle exfoliation
- Hydrodermabrasion to remove impurities while infusing the skin with hydrating serums
- Ultrasound technology to enhance product penetration
- Radiofrequency to promote collagen production and improve skin firmness
- Oxygen infusion to revitalize tired, stressed skin
- Electroporation to help deliver active ingredients deeper into the skin without needles
Benefits of a Préime DermaFacial
Patients love the Préime DermaFacial because it can:
- Deeply cleanse and exfoliate the skin
- Improve hydration and restore your natural glow
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and enlarged pores
- Brighten dull, uneven skin tone
- Help improve acne and congestion
- Support collagen production for healthier-looking skin
- Leave your skin feeling refreshed with little to no downtime
Because the treatment is fully customizable, it’s suitable for many skin types and can be adjusted to address concerns ranging from dryness and sensitivity to acne-prone or aging skin.
Whether you’re preparing for a summer vacation, wedding, reunion, or simply want to maintain healthy, glowing skin throughout the season, the Préime DermaFacial is an excellent way to refresh your complexion while supporting your skin’s long-term health.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion gently exfoliates dead skin cells to improve texture, brighten dull skin, and enhance product absorption. While it can be performed during the summer, diligent sunscreen use afterward is essential to protect your newly revealed skin.
Botox®
Summer is actually a great time for Botox. Softening expression lines before vacations and special events helps you look refreshed and rested while preventing deeper wrinkles from forming over time.
Dermal Fillers
Restore volume, enhance facial contours, and achieve natural-looking rejuvenation with dermal fillers. Whether you’re interested in lips, cheeks, chin, or facial balancing, summer is a wonderful time to refresh your appearance with minimal downtime.
Treatments That Require Extra Summer Planning
Some treatments intentionally create controlled skin injury to stimulate collagen production or resurface the skin. Because your skin becomes more sensitive afterward, sun exposure significantly increases the risk of complications such as:
- Hyperpigmentation
- Post-inflammatory pigmentation
- Melasma flare-ups
- Delayed healing
These treatments include:
Microneedling
Microneedling stimulates your body’s natural collagen production to improve:
- Fine lines
- Acne scars
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven texture
- Overall skin quality
Although microneedling can sometimes be performed during summer for carefully selected patients who can strictly avoid sun exposure, many people achieve the best results by scheduling treatments during the cooler fall and winter months.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels effectively treat:
- Sun damage
- Acne
- Uneven pigmentation
- Fine lines
- Dull skin
Because fresh skin is especially vulnerable to UV damage, fall is often the ideal season for medium and deeper peels.
Thinking About a Non-Surgical Facelift?
One of our most exciting treatments is the EnerJet Non-Invasive Facelift.
EnerJet uses advanced jet-pressure technology to stimulate your body’s own collagen and elastin production—without surgery or traditional needles. Over time, patients notice firmer, tighter, healthier-looking skin with natural improvement in facial contours.
This treatment is ideal for anyone looking to:
- Improve skin laxity
- Tighten the jawline
- Reduce fine lines
- Improve skin texture
- Restore youthful firmness naturally
Because collagen remodeling occurs gradually over several weeks and treatments are often performed in a series, summer is the perfect time to begin your treatment plan so your results continue to develop in time for holiday gatherings, family photos, and end-of-year celebrations.
Start Planning for Fall Today
Believe it or not, fall schedules fill quickly. If you’ve been considering treatments like:
- Microneedling
