Summer brings longer days, warmer weather, and more time spent outdoors, but it also presents new challenges for your skin. At Alux Spalon, our skincare professionals understand the importance of adjusting your regimen with the seasons. The heat, humidity, and increased sun exposure can leave skin dehydrated, congested, or uneven in tone if not properly managed.

To help you enjoy the season with confidence, our team has compiled expert tips to keep your skin healthy, radiant, and protected all summer long.

1. Sunscreen is Your First Line of Defense

Sun protection is not optional during the summer months. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause sunburn, dark spots, premature aging, and in serious cases, skin cancer. We recommend applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 every morning, regardless of whether it’s sunny or overcast.

For optimal results, reapply every two hours—especially if you’re swimming, sweating, or spending extended time outdoors. Pay special attention to often-overlooked areas like the ears, neck, chest, and hands.

Expert Tip: Look for sunscreens with physical blockers like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for better protection and reduced risk of irritation.

2. Hydration Is Essential—Inside and Out

Hot weather and sun exposure can quickly dehydrate the skin, leading to dullness and discomfort. It’s important to increase your water intake during the summer and to use a moisturizer that supports your skin’s natural barrier.

We recommend switching to a lightweight, gel-based or hyaluronic acid-rich moisturizer that hydrates without feeling heavy or greasy. This keeps the skin plump and dewy without clogging pores.

Alux Solution: Our Hydrating Oxygen Facial infuses the skin with essential nutrients and moisture, restoring balance and enhancing radiance after sun exposure.

3. Update Your Daily Routine with Lighter Products

As temperatures rise, skin tends to produce more oil and sweat. Switching to lighter formulations helps prevent congestion and breakouts. Choose a gentle foaming cleanser for a fresh, clean feel without stripping your skin. Avoid rich creams and oil-heavy products that can exacerbate clogged pores.

Adding a vitamin C serum to your morning routine also helps protect against sun damage, supports collagen production, and evens out skin tone.

Did You Know? Vitamin C works synergistically with sunscreen, offering an added layer of defense against environmental damage.

4. Exfoliate Weekly, but Don’t Overdo It

Sweat, sunscreen, and increased oil production can lead to buildup on the skin’s surface. Gentle exfoliation once or twice a week helps unclog pores, smooth rough texture, and promote a natural glow.

However, it’s important to avoid over-exfoliating—especially after sun exposure—since that can cause sensitivity or inflammation. Choose mild exfoliants such as enzyme-based peels or fruit acid masks.

Recommended Service: Our Enzyme Peel Facial offers a non-abrasive approach to exfoliation, revealing smoother and brighter skin without irritation.

5. Book Seasonal Professional Treatments

While home skincare is crucial, professional treatments take your results to the next level. Facials designed specifically for summer skin can deeply cleanse, hydrate, and soothe skin that’s been affected by sun, saltwater, or chlorine.

At Alux Spalon, we offer a curated selection of services tailored for the season. Whether you need post-vacation recovery or a mid-season refresh, our estheticians can create a treatment plan based on your skin’s unique needs.
