Why Your Skin Still Needs a Facial in Summer

Glowing, healthy skin — whatever the season. ☀️

Most people think of facials as a winter treat — something to book when the nights draw in and your skin feels dry. But summer is actually one of the best times to have a facial. Here's why.

Summer is harder on your skin than you think

When the weather is warm, your skin is working overtime. Heat increases oil production, which can lead to blocked pores and breakouts. SPF — which you should absolutely be wearing every day — can build up on the skin and cause congestion if it isn't properly removed. Add in time outdoors, sweating and air conditioning, and it's no wonder skin can start to look dull, feel dehydrated or break out more than usual.

A regular facial helps your skin cope with all of this. It removes the buildup, rebalances and gives your skin what it needs to stay healthy through the warmer months.

Post-sun redness and sensitivity

Spending time in the sun — even with SPF — can leave skin looking red and feeling sensitive. This is your skin's response to UV exposure, and it needs care rather than heavy products or harsh treatments.

A gentle professional facial can help calm redness, restore hydration and bring the skin back into balance. At Ageless Beauty in Fernwood, Newark, Kate will always assess your skin before treatment to make sure the right approach is used for how your skin is feeling that day.

Congestion and oily skin in the heat

Warmer weather triggers more sebum production, which means oilier skin and a higher chance of clogged pores. If your skin feels congested or looks less clear than usual, a deep cleansing facial can make a real difference.

The Hydrofacial & LED at Ageless Beauty uses salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C to deeply cleanse, hydrate and brighten in one session — finishing with LED light therapy for an extra boost. It's one of the most effective treatments for congested, dehydrated or dull summer skin, with results that are visible straight away.

For skin that needs a deeper exfoliation, Crystal Clear Microdermabrasion & LED is another popular option. It removes dead skin cells, boosts collagen and leaves skin clearer and brighter — a celebrity favourite used by the likes of Kate Moss and Kate Middleton, and available right here in Fernwood, Newark.

Add a Mud Mask for a summer detox

Both the Hydrofacial and Microdermabrasion treatments can be paired with a Mud Mask for an extra deep cleanse. Mud masks help draw out impurities, absorb excess oil and leave skin feeling thoroughly refreshed — particularly useful if your skin has been exposed to heat, sun and SPF on a regular basis.

Just ask Kate when you book and she can include it as part of your appointment.

How often do you need a facial?

Even a single facial can make a noticeable difference — especially if your skin has been dealing with heat, SPF buildup or congestion over the summer. There's no pressure to commit to a routine. Come in once and see how your skin feels. Many clients find that's all it takes to get started.

Not sure which facial is right for you?

If you're not sure where to start, that's completely fine. Kate offers one-to-one appointments at her private studio in Fernwood, Newark, and will always take time to understand your skin before recommending the right treatment.

All appointments are by appointment only, one-to-one and never rushed. Free parking is available right outside.
