It’s coming. Summer is coming! It’s both exciting and a little concerning for your skin! Spring is pleasant, and most of us don’t notice too many sunburns or skin damage, but summer UV exposure brings us to a higher risk for skin damage and all the unsightly things that accompany it. That is why it’s so important not to let your skin or face fry in the sun and take damage from harsh elements! Facials and the professionals working at facial salons can help keep your skin looking fresh, healthy, and beautiful all summer long! In this article, we will discuss why it’s important to be extra careful during the months of the summer when the sun is at its most powerful and skin is at its most susceptible. Also, we’ll talk about how facial salons can be your skin’s best ally in keeping a healthy and vibrant look!

What Does The Summer Sun Do To Your Skin?

When we talk about how the sun can impact our health, in terms of our skin, the damage is measured by our exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV rays expose us to light levels of radiation, and too much can damage our skin or even cause different types of skin cancer. In the summer months, the sun’s angle brings it closer to the earth, and hence we have a higher level of UV exposure and more pleasant/warmer weather. Also, areas of the earth close to the equator ( like us in Texas) are subject to more UV exposure than areas further away from the equator, as the North East. So, it’s very important to take care of your skin and use extra precautions during the summer months, even if you don’t live close to the equator.

How Do Facials Help With Sun-Damaged Skin?

Aside from being a relaxing and spiritually cleansing experience, facials help the skin remove, regenerate and rejuvenate itself. As we have explained, the sun can cause varying degrees of damage to your skin, but the microdermabrasion process during a facial helps smooth the lines caused by sun exposure/damage. A facial done by professionals at facial salons helps the skin speed up the healing and recovery process caused by sun exposure. NuFace, a microcurrent device we use at Chic Lash Boutique, sends light currents of electrical energy into the skin, helping contour, tone, and firm skin that has endured sun over the years. Treating sun damage with facials is accomplished by helping the skin remove dead cells and damage and promote healing and toning to keep skin looking vibrant.
