Written By: Walt Kuhn With the arrival of summer, now is the ideal time to revitalize and pamper your skin. At Woodhouse Spa – Gainesville, we view summer as more than just a timeframe; it's a chance to shine, revitalize, and prioritize self-care.
Summertime Skin Care
Hydration is Key: The summer heat can leave your skin feeling parched. Drink plenty of water and use a hydrating serum or moisturizer to keep your skin supple and radiant. Look for products with hyaluronic acid, which helps retain moisture.
Sun Protection: Protect your skin from harmful UV rays by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Reapply every two hours, especially if you're swimming or sweating. Don't forget areas like your ears, neck, and the tops of your feet.
Gentle Exfoliation: Regular exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells and promotes a healthy glow. Use a gentle scrub or an exfoliating cleanser once or twice a week to keep your skin smooth and bright.
Lighten Up Your Routine: Switch to lighter skincare products during the summer. Gel-based moisturizers and oil-free sunscreens are great options to avoid a greasy feel while still providing necessary hydration and protection.
Soothing Treatments: After a day in the sun, treat your skin to soothing treatments like aloe vera gel or a hydrating mask to calm any redness or irritation.
Summertime Massage
A summer massage is more than just a luxury; it's a beneficial addition to your wellness routine.
Enhanced Relaxation: The warmth of summer can sometimes lead to fatigue and stress. A massage helps to alleviate tension, promote relaxation, and improve your overall mood.
Improved Circulation: Massages stimulate blood flow, which can be especially beneficial in hot weather. Improved circulation helps to cool down your body and reduce swelling in extremities.
Detoxification: Massage therapy aids in flushing out toxins from your body. Sweating during summer already helps detoxify, but a massage can further enhance this natural process, leaving you feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.
Skin Nourishment: The oils and lotions used during a massage can deeply hydrate your skin, which is crucial during the drying summer months.
Summertime Manicures & Pedicures
Summer is the perfect time to show off your hands and feet. Here’s why regular manicures and pedicures should be part of your summer beauty regimen.
Aesthetic Appeal: Bright, vibrant nail colors are a summer staple. Regular manicures and pedicures ensure your nails are in top shape and ready to shine.
Health Benefits: Beyond beauty, these treatments help maintain nail health. Regular trimming, cleaning, and exfoliating prevent infections, reduce foot odor, and keep your nails strong.
Skin Care for Hands and Feet: Manicures and pedicures involve exfoliating dead skin cells, which can build up more quickly in summer due to increased exposure to the elements. This exfoliation leaves your skin soft and smooth.
Relaxation and Stress Relief: The massage component of these treatments can alleviate stress and provide a much-needed break from your busy summer!
