Summer Skincare: How to Prep Your Face for the Heat

June 16, 2025

The heat is rising, the days are longer, and your skin is feeling it. Between the sun, sweat, humidity, and sunscreen buildup, summer skincare needs a game plan.

At Dream Spa Medical, we recommend transitioning your skincare just like your wardrobe. Lighter layers, smarter protection, and a few seasonal swaps can go a long way.

Summer skin shifts: what’s different?

  • Increased oil production from heat and sweat
  • More sun exposure, even from walking the dog or commuting
  • Dehydration (yes, even if you’re sweaty)
  • Sunscreen congestion if you’re reapplying SPF (which you should be!)

What to do about it:

  • Swap your cleanser for a gel-based or foaming one that removes sweat and excess oil without stripping.
  • Add a vitamin C serum every morning—it brightens and offers antioxidant protection under your sunscreen.
  • Exfoliate weekly to prevent buildup from SPF and sweat.
  • Switch to lighter moisturizers like hydrating serums or water-based gels.

Treatments to consider:

  • Enzyme facials to reset dull skin
  • HydraFacials for a deep cleanse + glow
  • Lymphatic drainage for puffiness from heat and salt
