Summer in Illinois means more sunshine, more outdoor fun — and more skin challenges. At Healing Spirit Wellness Spa in Morris, IL, we understand that seasonal changes require adapting your skincare routine to protect and nourish your skin.

Here’s how summer affects your skin and how our expert summer skincare solutions can keep you glowing, hydrated, and confident all season long.

1. Increased Sun Exposure Damages Skin

Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun penetrate deep into the skin, breaking down collagen and elastin. Over time, this leads to premature aging signs like wrinkles, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation.

Action Step: Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every single day — even when it’s cloudy. Reapply sunscreen every two hours when outdoors.

At Healing Spirit, we offer seasonal facials that repair sun damage and protect your skin’s natural elasticity, keeping your face youthful and healthy.

2. Dehydration Happens Faster

Hot temperatures and increased sweating cause skin to lose hydration rapidly. Dehydrated skin looks dull, feels rough, and is more vulnerable to environmental damage.

Action Step: Increase your water intake and switch to lightweight, hydrating products like hyaluronic acid serums and water-based moisturizers.

Our summer facial treatments focus heavily on deep hydration therapy to replenish moisture levels and restore your natural glow.

3. Clogged Pores and Breakouts Increase

Higher temperatures mean more sweat, oil, and sunscreen on your skin. This cocktail often clogs pores, leading to breakouts and congestion, especially in areas like the forehead, nose, and chin.

Action Step: Cleanse your skin gently but thoroughly every morning and night. Use non-comedogenic sunscreen and book professional facials to deep clean your pores.

At Healing Spirit in Morris, IL, we offer customized detox facials that clear pores without stripping your skin’s natural defenses.

4. Hyperpigmentation and Uneven Tone Appear

Sun exposure can cause dark spots, melasma, and uneven pigmentation to worsen. Even minor unprotected exposure can trigger pigmentation issues for sensitive skin types.

Action Step: Incorporate antioxidant serums (like Vitamin C) into your routine to fight free radical damage and brighten your skin tone.

Our estheticians at Healing Spirit create personalized summer facial protocols that address hyperpigmentation safely and effectively.

5. Sensitivity and Irritation Increase

For some, summer sun and sweat lead to flare-ups of rosacea, eczema, or general skin irritation. Heat rash and allergic reactions are also more common during warmer months.

Action Step: Simplify your skincare routine. Use soothing products with ingredients like aloe vera, green tea, and chamomile. Avoid harsh scrubs or aggressive treatments during peak heat.

We specialize in calming, anti-inflammatory facial treatments designed to heal sensitive summer skin at Healing Spirit Wellness Spa in Morris, IL.
