While the hustle and bustle of summer activities make it hard to fit in your normal skincare routine, there are consequences to foregoing a monthly facial. The increased heat, humidity, and sun exposure wreak havoc on all skin types. Here are three reasons not to skip your next spa treatment.

3 Reasons to Get a Facial in the Summer

1. Balance Oil Production

Unfortunately, most individuals experience a greater amount of oil production during the summer months. Even if you have dry or mature skin that typically requires extra hydration, the increased surface oil will negatively impact your current beauty regimen, resulting in shiny skin and patchy makeup applications. The aesthetician will combat these issues by evaluating your skin and hydration levels before every facial and making treatment adjustments to effectively balance your skin's oil production.

2. Keep Your Pores Clear

Summer outdoor activities cause increased perspiration and exposure to dirt and bacteria. Combined with your skin's increased oil production, these elements create a perfect storm for clogged pores. As a result, you're likely to experience an increase in breakouts, including blackhead and pimples.

One of the main aspects of facials is extraction, which removes trapped dirt and oil. If you skip spa treatments during the summer, it's likely you'll face an entire season's worth of clogged pores when fall arrives. In many cases, one treatment isn't enough to reverse the effects of such a buildup, so it will take multiple visits to get skin back to perfection.

3. Combat Sun Damage

Regular visits to an aesthetician are vital during summer because of increased sun exposure. These specialists understand how to prevent and treat the effects of UV rays, which include discoloration, fine lines, wrinkles, and reduced skin elasticity.
