Summer is a beautiful time of year - long sunny days, fresh air, and a natural glow from being outdoors. But as much as we love summer, the season can bring challenges to our skin that might leave you feeling frustrated or unsure how to care for your skin best. From dryness caused by heat and sun exposure to uneven texture, pigmentation changes, and even new or changing moles - your skin tells a story of both the joys and stresses of summer life.
At Alma, I believe your skin deserves treatments that solve these issues, not just cover them up. July is an ideal moment to focus on nourishing, repairing, and protecting your skin - so you can enjoy the season with confidence and comfort.
In this guide, I will walk you through common summer skin concerns and how two of my favourite treatments - Mesotherapy and Exosomes – delivered with microneedle or a needle-free device can help address them with real, lasting results. Plus, I will share how mole mapping and a simple home ritual can support your skin’s health all year round.
💧 Hydrate & Replenish: Tackling Dry, Dull Summer Skin
Summer sun, salty ocean swims, chlorinated pools, and air conditioning can all contribute to dehydrating your skin. Even if you are drinking plenty of water, your skin can feel tight, flaky, or lacklustre - a common complaint this time of year.
Why Does This Happen?
When skin loses moisture, it struggles to maintain its natural barrier, which protects against environmental aggressors like pollution, UV rays, and irritants. The result? Your skin looks tired and dull, feels sensitive, and sometimes reacts with redness or breakouts.
How Mesotherapy Helps
Mesotherapy is a minimally invasive treatment that delivers a cocktail of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid directly into the middle layer of the skin. This deep hydration floods the skin’s cells with nutrients, boosting moisture retention and stimulating collagen production.
Think of it as a refreshing drink for your skin - restoring that fresh, radiant glow and smoothing rough, dry patches. Unlike heavy creams or serums that only sit on the surface, Mesotherapy works within the skin to repair and strengthen from the inside out.
Many clients say their skin feels plumper, softer, and more vibrant after just one session - perfect for a summer pick-me-up.
Renew & Repair: Addressing Sun Damage & Early Ageing Signs
The sun gives us warmth and vitamin D, but too much exposure can accelerate ageing by damaging collagen and elastin - the proteins that keep skin firm and smooth.
What Does Sun Damage Look Like?
Fine lines start to appear, skin texture feels rough or uneven, and dark spots or pigmentation may develop. These signs can be subtle at first but become more noticeable over time if left untreated.
Why Exosomes Are a Game-Changer
They carry important molecular signals that promote cellular communication, repair, and regeneration.
In skincare, exosomes help kickstart the skin’s own healing process - encouraging new collagen and elastin production, evening out pigmentation, and improving overall texture. This makes your skin look firmer, smoother, and more youthful.
When combined with Collagen Induction Therapy (micro needling), which creates tiny channels in the skin to stimulate natural repair mechanisms, the results are amplified. The skin’s ability to renew itself is enhanced, reversing damage from sun exposure without harsh chemicals or lengthy downtime.
Early Detection & Peace of Mind: Mole Mapping Now at Alma
Skin health isn’t just about appearance – it is about safety too. Changes in moles or new growths can be alarming, and early detection is vital for successful treatment if needed.
Why Mole Mapping Matters
Mole mapping uses high-resolution photography and expert analysis to check your skin.
By catching any suspicious changes early, you gain peace of mind - and can take swift action if treatment is necessary.
I offer a professional Map and Lesion checking service here at Alma, making it easy and convenient to prioritise your skin’s health without stress or delays.
Home Rituals to Support Your Skin’s Health
Beautiful skin starts with care beyond the treatment room. I’m thrilled to offer my exclusive Gua Sha set, designed to bring professional-level lymphatic drainage, tension relief, and gentle facial lifting right to your home.
Using the Gua Sha tool with my signature facial oil encourages circulation, reduces puffiness, and promotes natural radiance. It is a calming ritual that also supports your skin’s natural detoxification and repair processes - essential during and after the summer months.
Many clients find this daily practice helps them feel more connected to their skin and body - a moment of mindfulness in a busy day.
Lifestyle Tips for Glowing Summer Skin
Alongside treatments, these simple habits can boost your skin’s health:
Sun Protection: Use a broad-spectrum mineral SPF daily, reapplying every two hours if outdoors.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water and include hydrating foods like cucumber and watermelon.
Gentle Cleansing: Avoid harsh scrubs or exfoliants that strip moisture.
Sleep & Stress Management: Your skin regenerates overnight - aim for 7-8 hours of restful sleep and practice stress-relief techniques like meditation.
Nutrition: A diet rich in antioxidants supports skin repair - think berries, leafy greens, nuts, and seeds.
