Get Your Skin Summer-Ready in Silicon Valley: Tips from Moderne Beauty & Aesthetics

The sun is shining brighter, the days are getting longer, and it's time to prep your skin for those sunny San Jose summers! But with the heat, humidity, and increased sun exposure, it's crucial to give your skin some extra TLC to keep it looking youthful and radiant. Here's how to ensure your skin is summer-ready, the Moderne Beauty way.

Sun Protection is Non-Negotiable


The most crucial step to prevent premature aging is daily sunscreen. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher and apply it generously to all exposed skin, even on cloudy days. Don't forget often neglected areas like your ears, neck, and the tops of your feet. Reapply every two hours, especially if you're swimming or sweating.


Here are our Favorite SPF's


Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate


Summer heat can dehydrate your skin, making it look dull and tired. Drink plenty of water throughout the day and use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin plump and supple. Consider adding a hydrating serum to your routine for an extra boost.

Exfoliate for a Healthy Glow


Regular exfoliation removes dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, smoother complexion. Use a gentle scrub or chemical exfoliant 1-2 times a week, but don't overdo it, as over-exfoliating can irritate your skin.

Lighten Up Your Makeup


In the heat and humidity of summer, heavy makeup can clog pores and lead to breakouts. Switch to lighter formulas like tinted moisturizers or BB creams and set with a translucent powder for a fresh, natural look.

Nourish Your Skin from the Inside Out


Eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats can help protect your skin from damage and promote a youthful glow. Foods high in antioxidants like berries, leafy greens, and nuts are especially beneficial.

Treat Yourself to a Professional Facial


A professional facial can deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate your skin, leaving it refreshed and revitalized for the summer months. At Moderne Beauty & Aesthetics, our lunchtime facials and chemical peels are perfect for rejuvenating your skin without taking up your whole day.

Don't Forget Your Lips and Eyes


The delicate skin around your eyes and lips needs extra protection from the sun. Wear sunglasses with UV protection and use a lip balm with SPF to prevent dryness and premature aging.


For those delicate areas


Bonus Tip


If you're planning to spend a lot of time outdoors this summer, consider waxing unwanted hair. Waxing removes hair from the root, leaving your skin smoother for longer than shaving. Book your appointment at Moderne Beauty & Aesthetics today!

Taking care of your skin is an investment in your future. By following these simple tips, you can protect your skin from the damaging effects of summer and keep it looking youthful and healthy for years to come. Contact us at Moderne Beauty & Aesthetics for all your summer skincare needs!
