Ah, summer. It’s a season we all look forward to for sunny weather, family picnics, and days at the beach. But the heat and humidity of summer also have their challenges, especially when it comes to skincare.
Many women want to go bare-faced or wear less makeup in the summer. And when you do wear makeup, you probably want a natural, dewy look, which is easiest to achieve with healthy skin. A visit or two to the med spa can make a big difference as you prepare your skin for the hot months ahead. Here are a few of the services we recommend most often for summer-ready skin.
Custom Acne Treatment Plans
The increase in heat and humidity can lead to worsening acne in summer. Of course, blemishes are extra annoying when you’re trying to go minimal with your makeup. Pharmacies and beauty supply stores sell many different acne treatment products, but acne is so personal that it can be really hard to find the “right thing.”
At Balance MedSpa, Dr. Judge creates a custom acne treatment plan for every client. Your plan might include LED therapy, lasers, or chemical peels, plus prescription support if needed. We schedule monthly or bi-weekly appointments and make adjustments as necessary, tailoring the treatment plan to your unique needs. You can have clear skin for summer; we’ll help you get it!
Facials
If your skin looks a bit dull, dry, or tired, a facial can make a world of difference. Plus, the experience is relaxing; you’ll leave our office looking and feeling refreshed!
Our Balance Signature Facial is the perfect pre-summer facial for anyone with mild to moderate concerns about texture and dullness. We begin with steam and extractions to decongest your pores. Then we move on to a custom face mask that nourishes your skin and provides a lasting glow.
Clients with more specific skin concerns love the HydraFacial and HydraFacial Plus. These treatments are performed using a custom tool that cleanses, extracts, hydrates, and protects your skin. We add custom enhancement steps to further boost the benefits. Some favorites include:
- Rozatrol® Booster Serum: Designed to calm red, sensitive skin, Rozatrol® helps give you a calm, balanced complexion.
- Growth Factor Booster Serum: If wrinkles or fine lines have you feeling down, this add-on can tighten and tone.
- Britenol™ Booster Serum: Too many days in the summer sun can leave you with sunspots and patchiness, but Britenol™ Booster Serum helps reverse those changes.
Exfoliating Peels
Exfoliation is important year-round, but especially so in the summer. Sweat and sunscreen can stick to dead skin cells, leading to an increase in clogged pores and breakouts if you don’t exfoliate well. Plus, exfoliating away the dead, dull skin helps maintain the glowing look most women are seeking this time of year.
Chemical peels are some of the most effective, least invasive exfoliating treatments we offer, and they’re absolutely perfect for summer skin prep. The Balance Peel uses a blend of AHA, BHA, and retinoic acid to target trouble spots and deliver a fresh, tight look. Another option is Jessner’s Peel, which uses three acids and resorcinol to remove the outermost layer of skin. That reveals the smooth, new skin below.
Waxing
Summer is the season for smooth skin, and shaving, well… it doesn’t always leave you as smooth as you’d like. Waxing is an excellent alternative. You won’t have to worry about stubble, razor burn, or shaving gels that irritate sensitive skin.
At Balance MedSpa, we offer waxing services, including underarms, full face, and chin. If you’ve reached the age where those annoying chin hairs have begun to make an appearance, waxing will give you so much freedom. You’ll love not having to continually pull out your tweezers! Of course, upper lip waxing and eyebrow cleanups can also help you achieve the perfect look for summer.
Luxury Skincare Products
Summer is also the perfect time to revamp your skincare routine with products that are more suited to your unique skin type. It’s amazing what the right cleanser or a well-formulated moisturizer can accomplish in just a week or two.
The Balance line of skincare products includes cleansers, moisturizers, and serums made with high-quality, evidence-backed ingredients. Visit us, and we’ll analyze your skin to suggest the skin maintenance products best suited to your needs. This time of year, you may love our Ginseng Revitalizing Cleanser, made with rose hips and Japanese green tea extract. Our Moisture Light is a lovely, lightweight choice for hot days, which provides nourishing antioxidants to purify and protect.
