Top 5 Ways to Protect Your Skin This Summer
Summer in Boston is the perfect time to soak up sunshine—but the warmer months can take a toll on your skin if you're not careful. At Boston Beautox, we're committed to helping you look and feel your best year-round. Here are the top five ways to keep your skin healthy, glowing, and protected all summer long.
1. Never Skip the SPF (Even on Cloudy Days)
The number one rule of summer skincare? Always wear sunscreen. Harmful UVA and UVB rays can cause sunburn, premature aging, and increase your risk of skin cancer—even on overcast days. Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher and reapply every two hours, especially if you're swimming or sweating. Boston Beautox proudly carries iS Clinical skincare, including high-performance sunscreens that offer excellent protection without clogging pores or irritating sensitive skin.
Pro Tip: Don’t forget often-missed areas like your ears, neck, and the tops of your hands!
2. Book a Hydralux Facial for Deep Hydration and Glow
Heat, humidity, and sun exposure can leave your skin feeling parched and dull. One of the best ways to restore hydration and maintain a summer glow is with our Hydralux Facial. This luxe treatment infuses the skin with powerful antioxidants and moisture while gently exfoliating and unclogging pores. It’s perfect for reviving sun-stressed skin and gives you that radiant, dewy finish you crave.
Whether you’re prepping for a summer wedding, vacation, or just want to treat yourself, the Hydralux Facial is your skin’s secret weapon.
3. Switch to Lightweight Skincare Products
Your winter moisturizer might be too rich for summer. As temperatures rise, opt for lightweight, non-comedogenic products that won’t trap sweat or clog pores. We recommend iS Clinical's Hydra-Cool Serum or Pro-Heal Serum Advance+—both deliver essential nutrients while keeping your skin feeling fresh and breathable. These formulas soothe inflammation, hydrate deeply, and protect against environmental stressors.
4. Stay Hydrated from the Inside Out
Dehydration affects more than your energy levels—it shows on your skin too. Drinking plenty of water helps maintain your skin’s elasticity, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and supports overall skin health. Aim for 8+ glasses a day, and supplement your skincare routine with hydrating facial mists or serums to lock in moisture.
5. Avoid Peak Sun Hours and Wear Protective Clothing
Between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., the sun’s rays are at their most intense. If you’re spending time outdoors, seek shade whenever possible and wear wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and UV-protective clothing. Even with SPF, limiting direct exposure helps prevent sunspots, redness, and long-term damage.
