If you’re like most people, there may be certain aspects of your face you’d like to improve. Maybe your mouth looks a bit too small or your chin shape doesn’t complement your other features.

No matter how young or old you are, we are all trying to reveal our healthiest skin. And when the seasons change, it can feel especially difficult to maintain that aesthetic. With the help of dermatologists and experienced skin care experts, we put together some explanations of what you might be experiencing and tips on how to address skin concerns to get your skin looking its best under the scrutiny of the summer sun.
Before we dive into the best advice for overcoming summer skin problems, let’s address them. Everyone deals with their own skin concerns, and there are remedies for each one.
We’ve all been there – feeling the effects of summertime on your skin in a less-than-pleasant manner. It doesn’t take much for the skin to start feeling dry and irritated. The tough part is that it seems so much easier to dry your skin out than it is to hydrate it.
Some of the common reasons that you might be experiencing dry skin in the summer include:
Of course, there are also considerations that extend beyond seasonality such as:
No matter how it happens, dry skin can quickly become very uncomfortable. No one wants to feel scaly, or have cracking skin that bleeds and hurts while trying to enjoy the day.
And while some deal with extreme dryness, others have the complete opposite problem: Excessively oily skin.
Summer heat can do more than dry your skin – it can prompt an overproduction of sebum, which leads to an oily face. Genetic disposition and hormonal changes can also impact sebum production, which might worsen in the warmer months. When it comes to the heat making your face look and feel oily, it’s because the sebaceous glands are working extra hard to produce sebum to protect your skin from drying. But that’s not always ideal. From making you feel uncomfortable, to smearing away makeup and sunscreen, oily skin can be very frustrating.
Light moisturizers, mild exfoliation, and not over-washing your face are a few things that you can try to help keep that oil under control at home.
Monitor your exposure to chlorinated water. If you love to swim or participate in water activities, try to find great spots that don’t have chlorine as this is extremely drying to the skin. Of course, you can still enjoy the pool, just remember to rinse off afterward. No matter where you’re swimming, be sure to moisturize afterward to help replenish some of the hydration that the skin craves. And try using cleansers that are less harsh – micellar water is a good option for quickly cleansing your skin without drying it further.
Whether it’s a sunny day or not, sunscreen should be a part of your daily routine. A good sunscreen will help prevent skin cancer and lessen the signs of aging that the sun causes. The thing is, not everyone knows whether to use a chemical sunscreen or a physical one. Plus, with brands advertising their products differently, it’s challenging to know whether you’ve found a sunscreen that will offer even, lasting coverage against harmful UV rays, and applies without a white cast.
We’ve been conducting physical and chemical sunscreen tests for moisturization, protection, and comfort. From our tests, one of the best sunscreens without a white cast is Supergoop, especially their lip balm sun protection.
There are some steps you can take at home to help maintain healthy summer skin. But optimal results come when you consult with professionals you trust. Treat yourself to a day at the med spa and come away with nourished skin that lasts for weeks! Not only does it feel nice to pamper yourself every so often, but you’ll be able to enjoy better results than you can typically achieve at home.
Depending on your concerns and goals, there are lots of options available to take care of your skin with medical-grade products. Some can even combine for optimal results – it’s up to your preferences and timeline. Let’s go through some of the most popular summer skin care treatments.
Before experiencing one for themselves, many people wonder if Hydrafacials are worth it. It’s a reasonable consideration with all the options available for skin treatment. The thing about this treatment, in particular, is that it covers the three most crucial steps to healthy skin in one session. And it’s safe for all skin types and tones.
A Hydrafacial brings an abundance of benefits, including:
That means that beyond delivering moisturizing nourishment to the skin, the Hydrafacial also clears pores, reduces fine lines, and evens hyperpigmentation. Your newly replenished skin will look and feel better for weeks to come.
Of course, how often you get a Hydrafacial is completely up to you, but many enjoy pampering themselves once a month. For some, it’s a way to consistently stay ahead of skin concerns and keep things under control.
Did you know that chemical peels can minimize the signs of summer skin damage? Like Hydrafacials, this skincare treatment is massively popular when the weather turns warm. It’s a fast and easy way to rid your dry, dull skin of the colder months to reveal a fresh face.
Many people choose chemical peels in the summer because they provide:
Some say that a chemical peel is best for wintertime because of increased sun sensitivity. However, if you take the proper aftercare steps (like avoiding too much sun exposure) and are vigilant with your sunscreen use (as we hope you are!), there’s no reason not to try a peel in the summer. And there are several options available, so you can choose which chemical peel is best for you.
One solution that not as many people think of for dry skin is fillers. Injectable hyaluronic acid dermal fillers are phenomenal at boosting elasticity, making your skin more supple and luminous. This hydration penetrates deeply into your skin for lasting results throughout the summer. Fillers are supplementing the natural hyaluronic acid your body produces, offering more nourishment at once than you can achieve on your own.
Best of all, there’s no age limit for the moisturizing benefits of hyaluronic acid fillers. Many individuals get fillers in their 40s and beyond because the formula helps replenish volume, promote collagen production, and target specific areas of concern.
You’ve likely heard of the power of microneedling, but when you add radiofrequency energy to the mix, the results are next-level. RF Microneedling repairs skin on a topical and biological level. Treatment sessions are short with minimal downtime and lasting results.
Resurfacing the skin through RF Microneedling gets rid of dull complexion, uneven skin tone, and redness to reveal youthful, radiant skin. Compared to other laser treatments, this works wonders for nearly all skin types and tones and is safe to schedule during the summer months.
As with any cosmetic treatment, take the right protection measures for your skin afterward by applying sunscreen regularly and not spending too much time in the sun. If you do that, you can enjoy healthy skin year-round.
You shouldn’t have to feel uncomfortable going outside because your skin is not its best. Give some of our at-home tips a try to see if anything helps. If not, don’t hesitate to reach out. The skilled professionals at Haus of Aesthetics can help pinpoint the issues you’re dealing with. We will create a plan together that addresses your concerns and has you feeling confident in your skin once again.

Facials come in all different levels from relaxing to mildly or moderately aggressive for result-focused treatments. We offer a variety of facials for every stage of life and skin concern ranging from treatment of pigmentation, acne, fine lines, discoloration, texture, antiaging and overall complexion. Our licensed Master Aestheticians can customize a treatment plan with you using the following types of facials treatments; Chemical Peels, Hydrafacials, Diamond Glow, SkinPen Microneedling, DermaplanePro, LED Light Therapy, IPL PhotoFacial, Resolve, and Skin Resurfacing Laser.

It is part of our job to safely treat your skin and choose a facial appropriate for you based on your desired outcome!
When determining the best facial to get for your skin type and lifestyle, our providers at Haus of Aesthetics highly recommend scheduling a complimentary consultation with one of our Licensed Master Aestheticians before your first skincare treatment. It is at this consultation you and your provider will discuss pre and post-care for your first treatment and what to expect as far as “downtime” if there is any. There are many different types of facials that can be customized to fit your desired results. During the consultation process, your provider will ask you a series of questions regarding your concerns, genetic background, medical history, and go over your current at-home product regimen. After assessing your skin, it is then your provider can answer your question, “What type of facial do I need?”. This is also an opportunity for us to build a relationship with you. We want to see your amazing results, just as much as you do, and we are grateful to work with you!
We offer many different facials that are considered to be the best types of facials for your skin concerns. For example, chemical peels can be the best spa facial for acne. By speeding cellular turnover and exfoliating the skin, chemical peels can improve the appearance of acne and fine lines after just a few treatments. The type of chemical peel, and how many will all be determined in your consultation. When treating hyperpigmentation or sun damage, chemical peels may also be used. Adding to that, laser treatments are a highly beneficial way to treat unwanted dark spots and improve overall skin complexion. The Hydrafacial and Diamond Glow treatments can be the best type of facial for blackheads and other extractions! These two treatments are also a great place to start your skincare journey, and perfect right before events! Overall, the best “starter facials” tend to be less aggressive, but can be made more intense with add ons. These facials include DermaplanePro, LED Light Therapy, Hydrafacial, Diamond Glow, and Haus Special. Our more aggressive treatments provided by our Aestheticians are Microneedling, Chemical Peels, IPL Photofacial, Resolve, and laser resurfacing. Our receptionists are very knowledgeable and can help you get scheduled for your consultation and treatment. The health of your skin is of the utmost importance to us and we are on this journey with you!

Chemical peels have been around since the mid-1800s! They gained popularity in the ’90s and early 2000s. We cleanse and examine your skin followed by applying your chosen chemical peel. Your skin may feel warm with a slight burning sensation that can last a few minutes. After a peel, your skin can feel tight and look red or flushed. Some peels come with no downtime or peeling, others slough off the top layer of skin to reveal a healthy new layer!
Chemical peels can be a standalone treatment, the perfect option to prep for more aggressive treatment, or an add-on! We love adding chemical peels to Hydrafacials, DiamondGlow Facials, IPL photofacials, and micro-needling! Ask your provider at your next appointment to elevate your next treatment with a peel.
We can’t wait to see you for your next peel, your skin will thank you! Still wondering what’s the best chemical peel? Contact Haus of Aesthetics for a complimentary consultation.
