Seasonal Skincare Swaps: What Your Esthetician Recommends for Summer
When the weather heats up, your skincare routine needs to chill out. At Venelle Salon and Spa in Park Slope, Brooklyn, our expert estheticians recommend adjusting your routine to match the season—and summer skincare is all about balance, protection, and hydration.
Whether you’re battling breakouts, sun sensitivity, or excess oil, these professional skincare swaps will help your skin stay clear, calm, and glowing all summer long.
☀️ Why Summer Skin Needs a New Routine
With higher humidity, more sun exposure, and increased sweating, your skin's needs shift dramatically in the summer. Heavy creams or harsh products can lead to clogged pores, dehydration, or irritation.
That’s where seasonal skincare comes in. By making small changes, you can keep your skin fresh and healthy from Memorial Day to Labor Day—and beyond.
🌿 Top Skincare Swaps for Summer, Recommended by Venelle Estheticians
1. Swap Heavy Moisturizer for Lightweight Hydration
➡️ Use: Gel-based or water-based moisturizers
Creamy winter moisturizers can feel greasy in summer heat. Switch to a lightweight formula that hydrates without clogging pores. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid or aloe.
2. Ditch Harsh Scrubs for Enzyme Exfoliants
➡️ Use: Gentle fruit enzyme peels or organic exfoliants
Over-exfoliating during summer can damage your skin barrier—especially if you’re in the sun often. Our Eminence Organics fruit peels offer a gentle, non-abrasive glow boost.
3. Upgrade to a Broad-Spectrum SPF (Every. Single. Day.)
➡️ Use: SPF 30+ mineral or reef-safe formulas
Daily sun protection is non-negotiable. Our estheticians recommend lightweight, non-comedogenic sunscreens that protect without leaving a white cast.
4. Cut Back on Heavy Makeup
➡️ Use: Tinted moisturizers with SPF or mineral powder
Let your skin breathe! We love pairing summer facials with tinted SPF or a light dusting of breathable coverage for an effortless glow.
5. Swap Hot Water for Cool, Calming Cleansing
➡️ Use: Gentle foaming or gel cleansers
Hot showers and aggressive face washing strip skin’s moisture. Instead, use cool water and gentle products to avoid inflammation and keep your skin barrier happy.
