Your Pre-Summer Skincare Checklist

Pre-Summer-Checklist-Blog

Before jetting off for new summer adventures, don't forget a few of the basics to keep your skin healthy, beautiful, and bikini-worthy this summer.

Sunscreen
Sun protection is the single most important element for any summer outing. If your sunscreen isn't already part of your daily routine, make sure you include it now. Sun exposure accounts for up to 90% of visible aging, making sunscreen the strongest anti-aging weapon in your armamentarium. The more often you use it the more opportunity your skin has to heal and reverse some of that previous UV damage. We recommend using SPF 30+ and reapplying it generously every couple hours. Re-apply immediately after getting out of the pool or ocean, as no sunscreens are truly waterproof. See our available skincare products and sunscreens here. UV rays are at their strongest during the summer months so the more you can defend your skin against harmful, skin-cancer causing exposure, the better you'll look and feel by September. 

Laser Hair Removal
As one of our most popular pre-summer procedures, laser hair removal means that you can disregard your razors, shaving cream, and painful waxing appointments. And with our laser hair removal summer special, getting your bikini line beach ready has never been easier. Between exciting summer trips, camping excursions, cocktails around the pool, and lounging seaside, unwanted body hair should be the last thing on your mind. 

CoolSculpting
There's still time to enjoy the benefits of CoolSculpting before your summer trip. CoolSculpting, the innovative fat freezing technology that permanently kills off fat cells when applied to certain areas, is a fantastic method for getting rid of that last little bit of excess fat around your waistline or reducing the fat around your bra line and bikini top. 

Kybella
Kybella is a non-surgical fat reduction injectable that provides an ideal alternative for patients who do not want to try CoolSculpting. Kybella was originally created with the intent of destroying submental fat (double chin) and is now being safely administered to other areas of the body to permanently kill stubborn fat cells that do not respond to diet and excercise. Once the cells are destroyed and desired results are achieved, re-treatment is not necessary. 

HydraFacial
Infusing your skin with as much moisture and antioxidants during the summer months will help stave off the harmful effects of excessive heat and sun exposure. HydraFacial provides your skin with an impressive and safe skin resurfacing treatment during the summer months for patients who plan to spend a lot of time outdoors. While we recommend HydraFacials as a pre-summer procedure, your best defense is to repeat the treatment monthly throughout the season in order to continuously revitalize skin.

For anyone planning on spending their summer outdoors, trying the procedures above will keep you looking beautiful and healthy all summer long, leaving you more time to focus on what's important: having an amazing, adventure-filled summer.
