Soak Up the Sun — Without the Skin Damage

Written By Ann Brennan

Well, Hey There, Sunshine!

We’re finally stepping into those long, light-filled days here in Olde Town, and whether you’re lounging on the porch, strolling King Street, or packing up for a weekend getaway, your skin deserves a little extra love.

Why SPF Is a Summer Essential

That golden sunshine may lift your spirits, but it’s also bringing more exposure to those UV rays. That’s why SPF is non-negotiable this time of year. Reapplying sunscreen throughout the day helps protect your skin from:

  • Sun damage

  • Dark spots and pigmentation

  • Premature aging and wrinkles

In other words — protecting your skin now helps keep it glowing later.

Adjusting Your Skincare for Heat & Humidity

When the temperature goes up, so does oil production, shine, and clogged pores. Summer is the perfect time to refresh your skincare routine. A few easy swaps can help:

  • Add a gentle exfoliant to clear away buildup

  • Choose lightweight, breathable products

  • Book a facial to calm inflammation and balance oil

Your skin will thank you, trust us.

Summer-Safe Treatments That Keep You Glowing

Yes, you can still treat yourself in the summertime! In fact, some of our favorite treatments are perfect year-round, including:

  • Microneedling to smooth texture and fine lines

  • Dermaplaning to remove peach fuzz and brighten dull skin

  • Chemical peels customized to your skin and the season

Pair any of these with a hydrating facial, and you’re ready to face the sun — safely and beautifully.
