When the heat rises, so do the demands on your skincare. The skin experts at VITA Aesthetics in Gallatin share essential advice to help your skin stay healthy, hydrated and glowing through the summer months. From proper cleansing to smart sunscreen habits and gentle product swaps, maintaining radiant skin in the summer starts with consistency and care. Whether you’re hitting the pool or just running errands, your daily routine plays a major role in long-term skin health.
01 CLEANSE WITH INTENTION
Double cleansing at night is key, especially after a day of sunscreen, sweat and environmental exposure. Start with a gentle cleanser, then follow up with an exfoliating option like ZO Exfoliating Cleanser to keep your pores clear and your products effective. This method ensures you're not only removing impurities but also prepping your skin to absorb all the nourishing ingredients that follow.
02 SMART SUNSCREEN STRATEGY
Sunscreen is non-negotiable—every day, all summer! It guards against premature aging, hyperpigmentation and skin cancer. Reapply every two hours, even on cloudy days. For oily or acne-prone skin, try ZO Daily Sheer SPF 50. For dry or sensitive skin, go with SkinCeuticals Daily Brightening UV Defense. ZO’s SPF Powder makes reapplying over makeup a breeze—perfect for busy, on-the-go protection.
03 HYDRATE + SOOTHE SKIN
Sensitive skin needs extra love in the heat. Keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water and enjoying water-rich foods like watermelon. Soothe and protect your skin with calming favorites like ZO Calming Toner or SkinCeuticals Phyto Corrective Gel or Mist. These gentle formulations help reduce sensitivity and support your skin’s natural barrier. Pair them with lightweight products and sunsmart habits to stay cool, comfortable and radiant all season long.
04 TREAT TROUBLE SPOTS
Breakouts, sunburns and dark spots? Add Omnilux LED light therapy to your at-home regimen—red light calms burns and fades dark spots, while blue light tackles acne. Try ZO Oil Control Pads to help treat and prevent breakouts throughout the summer and ZO Brightalive for dark spots. These summer-friendly solutions work hard without the harsh ingredients best saved for winter.
