Summer is here in Wheeling, IL, and it's the perfect time to embrace a rejuvenated, glowing complexion. At Injections by Sabina, we specialize in enhancing your natural beauty with effective skincare tips and services ideal for the summer months. This comprehensive guide provides insights into achieving vibrant skin while highlighting our summer-appropriate treatments that protect and nourish your skin.

Understanding Summer's Impact on Your Skin

Summer's warmth and longer days come with increased UV exposure, heat, and humidity, which can lead to dehydration, heightened oil production, and potential sun damage. Adopting a skincare routine with targeted treatments is essential to shield and nurture your skin.

Hydration: The Cornerstone of Summer Skincare

Drink Plenty of Water

Hydration is crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and a youthful appearance. Aim to drink at least 2 liters of water daily to keep your skin supple from within.

Use Lightweight Moisturizers

Opt for lightweight moisturizers that lock in hydration without clogging pores. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid and aloe vera for deep hydration.

Refresh with Facial Mists

A refreshing facial mist provides an instant hydration boost. Keep one handy to spritz throughout the day, especially if you’re spending time outdoors.

Sun Protection: The Foundation of Healthy Skin

Apply Sunscreen Daily

Sunscreen is your most powerful tool against sun damage. Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, and apply it every morning, even on cloudy days. Reapply every two hours when outdoors.

Embrace Protective Clothing

Wear wide-brimmed hats, UV-blocking sunglasses, and light, long-sleeved clothing to offer additional protection against harmful UV rays.

Seek Shade

Avoid direct sunlight between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when UV rays are strongest. Seek shade under trees or umbrellas to minimize exposure.

Sunburn Prevention and Care

Pay Attention to Early Signs

Recognizing the early signs of sunburn—like redness and tenderness—is crucial for prompt care. Apply aloe vera gel or a moisturizer with chamomile to soothe irritated skin.

Cool and Hydrate Sunburned Skin

Take cool baths or showers to soothe sunburned skin. Avoid hot water, which can worsen discomfort. Apply aloe vera gel or cooling moisturizers to hydrate and relieve heat.

Stay Hydrated and Protect Healing Skin

Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and caffeine, which can dehydrate you. Wear loose-fitting clothing to minimize irritation on healing skin.

Summer-Ready Skin with Injections by Sabina Services

Microneedling

Microneedling is an ideal summer treatment, promoting collagen production and improving skin texture. It reduces the appearance of enlarged pores and fine lines, revealing a smoother complexion.

PRP/PRF Therapy

Our PRP and PRF therapies harness your body’s natural healing processes to rejuvenate and repair skin, offering a refreshing glow perfect for summer.

Gentle Exfoliation: Revitalizing Your Glow

Choose Mild Exfoliants

Opt for gentle chemical exfoliants, such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), to remove dead skin cells and reveal a brighter complexion without irritation.

Establish an Exfoliation Routine

Incorporate exfoliation two to three times a week, adjusting based on your skin's sensitivity. Avoid over-exfoliating to protect the skin’s barrier.

Incorporate Antioxidants: Shield Against Environmental Stressors

Use Antioxidant-Rich Serums

Incorporate serums with vitamin C or E to enhance your skin's defense and promote a radiant glow by combating free radicals.

Incorporate Antioxidant-Rich Foods

Boost your skin's resilience by consuming antioxidant-rich foods like berries, leafy greens, nuts, and seeds to promote overall skin health.
