While it may only be Spring now, it’s important to stay ahead of the transition into Summer—and with it, some unwelcome changes to the skin. I am going to give you a quick rundown on why facials are crucial for your summer skin and why the HydraFacial should absolutely be a part of your regimen. Let’s jump in!

While the Summer brings a lot to be excited about, we’re often less excited about the new changes to our skin. It can be hard to maintain a strong and healthy skin barrier with all of that heat and humidity. It can really take a toll on your complexion. Here are some of the changes you might see to your skin during the summer:
Now you’re probably wondering—how do I stand a fighting chance against these changes? Here are some ways to protect your skin against the sun and maintain a healthy, summer glow:
On the note of facials, let’s talk about our favorite summertime treatment and why it’s an absolute must for your skincare regimen.
Here at Atalo, HydraFacials are most definitely our most popular treatment and it’s not hard to see why. We also just happen to be a black diamond status provider (in case you hadn’t heard)! What does that mean exactly? Basically that we LOVE HydraFacials and do them all the time!
The best part about the Hydrafacial is that it doesn’t have a skin type—any skin condition can be addressed with this one, amazing facial.
Hydrafacials are done with a multi-step process:
Technically, every 4-6 weeks is recommended! Yes, even in the summer months. Most of us travel, whether in the car for extended periods of time or in an airplane where the air is dry (which wreaks havoc on our skin). It’s hard to maintain that skincare routine 100% of the time—trust us, we get it! Let’s not forget the sun-bathing beauties, who wear their SPF, and SHOULD be reapplying.
Again, while the sun is out and the weather warms us, we start to produce more sebum (oil). We do not want this stuff constantly hanging out on our skin. That’s why I tell my patients, that when they return from a trip, come see me right after and we can hit a little reset button on their skin with the HydraFacial! We’ll clean the skin, get rid of that built-up dirt/oil/dead skin, clear out those pores, and then hydrate the skin back up for that finishing glow.
Something to note: You can not get a facial with burnt or compromised skin—so remember to keep that SPF on at all times, every day!
