At Elevation Med Spa, we know that summer is the season for sunshine, vacations, and outdoor adventures—but it can also be one of the harshest times of year for your skin. Increased sun exposure, heat, sweat, and environmental pollutants can accelerate aging, dehydrate your skin, and cause breakouts or sun damage. That’s why a consistent and smart summer skincare routine isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity.
☀️ Why Summer Demands Special Skincare
When your skin is exposed to UV rays, even during short periods outdoors, it triggers inflammation and can break down collagen and elastin—the building blocks of youthful, firm skin. Add to that the effects of sweating, swimming in chlorine, and air-conditioned environments, and you’ve got a perfect storm of skin stressors.
A good summer skincare routine protects, hydrates, and repairs, helping you maintain a healthy, radiant glow all season long.
🧴 Must-Have Summer Skincare Products
Here are our top product picks and treatments to keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and protected through the hottest months:
1. Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher)
Your #1 summer essential. Choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic formula and reapply every two hours when outdoors. Look for sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for effective mineral protection.
Recommended at Elevation: Intelligent Elixirs Tinted SPF 30 in Golden or Tan
2. Antioxidant Serum (Like Vitamin C)
Vitamin C defends against environmental damage while brightening and evening your skin tone. It also boosts collagen production and enhances the effectiveness of your sunscreen.
Recommended at Elevation: Intelligent Elixirs 15% Vitamin C anti aging serum
3. Hydrating Moisturizer (Oil-Free or Gel-Based)
Hot weather means your skin can lose hydration quickly. Swap heavy creams for lighter, water-based moisturizers that hydrate without clogging pores.
Recommended at Elevation: SkinMedica Rejuvenative Moisturizer – lightweight hydration perfect for summer.
4. Gentle Exfoliant (1–2 times per week)
Sweat and sunscreen can lead to clogged pores and dullness. A mild exfoliator helps slough off dead skin cells and keeps your complexion fresh.
Recommended at Elevation: Skin Medica AHA/BHA Cleanser with alpha-hydroxy and beta-hydroxy
5. Hydrating Mist or Toner
Keep a facial mist in your beach bag or car for a quick refresh anytime. It instantly cools, hydrates, and soothes sun-stressed skin.
Recommended at Elevation: Skin Script Cucumber Hydration Toner
