Summer skin prep: 5 expert tips for a healthy glow
A Conversation with Antonia Scott Wideman
We chatted with Antonia Scott Wideman, licensed aesthetician, to get her expert advice on prepping skin for summer. From glowing, healthy skin to tackling texture and pigmentation, she shared her go-to treatments and must-do habits to keep your complexion radiant all season long.
Prep early with professional treatments
Some of the most effective ways to get your skin summer-ready include laser hair removal, chemical peels, and Hydrafacials. Each treatment addresses different needs, from hair reduction to smooth, radiant skin.
Start with a personalized approach
For a natural, healthy “summer glow,” begin with a skincare consultation paired with a customized Hydrafacial. This allows your provider to assess your skin in depth and create a tailored treatment plan. Targeting concerns like hyperpigmentation or melasma before the sun intensifies is key to maintaining even, radiant skin.
Hydrafacials and chemical peels are top choices for improving skin texture and tone ahead of the warmer months. Hydrafacials combine hydradermabrasion, gentle resurfacing, extractions, and targeted serum infusion, giving your skin lasting hydration and clarity for up to a month. Chemical peels help refresh and smooth the complexion for a polished finish.
Timing matters
To see optimal results by summer, start treatments sooner rather than later. It’s never too early to establish a targeted skincare routine that will keep your skin looking and feeling its best.
Never skip sunscreen
Sunscreen is non-negotiable. The best SPF is the one you’ll actually use, whether it’s lightweight, moisturizing, tinted, glowy, or invisible. A wide variety of formulations ensures you can find the perfect match to protect and prep your skin all summer long.
