Summer can be a busy season for beauty businesses, but it also brings a unique set of skin concerns for clients. Rising temperatures, stronger UV exposure, humidity, sweat and SPF build-up can all affect the skin, leaving clients looking for professional treatment advice for their summer skin concerns.

Summer Skin Concerns

During June, July, and August, common concerns you may hear from your clients are:

• Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
• Excess oil production
• Congested pores
• Breakouts and acne flare-ups
• Dehydration and irritation
• Sun damage
• Fine lines and premature ageing

As a SkinBase Therapist, you can position your business as the go-to destination for clients who want to treat summer skin concerns safely and effectively.

What Are the Most Common Summer Skin Concerns?

The most common summer skin concerns are pigmentation, congestion, acne, dehydration, and irritation. These concerns are often triggered or worsened by heat, humidity, increased sweating and greater exposure to UV rays.

Professional Skincare Options

Professional skin treatments can help to resurface, refresh, hydrate and rejuvenate the skin, while a good at-home routine and daily SPF help clients maintain their results.

Best SkinBase Treatments for Summer Skin Concerns

SkinBase offers a range of non-surgical treatments that can help clients target their summer skin concerns. The right treatment will depend on the client’s skin type, concern, lifestyle and treatment goals.

Microdermabrasion for Congestion, Oiliness and Uneven Skin Tone

SkinBase Microdermabrasion is an excellent treatment for clients who want to unclog pores, manage excess oil and improve the appearance of dull or uneven skin.

How Does Microdermabrasion Work?

The Microdermabrasion treatment uses a handset to deliver a controlled jet of fine crystals across the skin. These crystals gently exfoliate the surface, removing dead skin cells, dirt and debris. At the same time, the vacuum action removes impurities and stimulates blood flow.

What Does Microdermabrasion Treat?

Microdermabrasion can help with:

• Congested pores
• Excess oil
• Dull skin
• Uneven texture
• Pigmentation
• Fine lines
• Signs of sun damage

How Many Treatments Do Clients Need?

A course of Microdermabrasion treatments can target specific skin concerns more effectively over time. With each treatment, the skin is encouraged to rejuvenate itself, helping to reveal a fresher, smoother and brighter-looking complexion.

Hydro for Dehydration, Irritation and Barrier Support

SkinBase Hydro is a great choice for clients whose skin feels dehydrated or in need of a barrier boost during summer exposure.

How Does Hydro Work?

Hydro is a revitalising, multi-step treatment that uses water-based serums to renew, hydrate and refresh the skin. The peel stage prepares the skin so it can better absorb the active ingredients in the serums.

What Does Hydro Treat?

Hydro can help clients concerned with:

• Dehydrated skin
• Dullness
• Signs of ageing
• Hyperpigmentation
• Acne-prone skin
• A weakened skin barrier

Personalised Hydro Treatments

The treatment can be tailored to each client’s skin concerns. You can target specific areas and choose the most suitable serum to support the client’s goals, making Hydro a versatile option for summer skin recovery. Find out more here.

IPL for Pigmentation, Sun Damage and Unwanted Hair

SkinBase IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a light-based treatment that can help target pigmentation, age spots and unwanted hair.

How Does IPL Work?

IPL works by filtering wavelengths of light to target specific structures within the skin. It can be used to treat unwanted hair on most areas of the body and can also help improve the appearance of pigmentation and signs of sun damage.

What Does IPL Treat?

IPL can help with:

• Hyperpigmentation
• Age spots
• Sun damage
• Unwanted hair
• Signs of ageing

Post-Summer Rejuvenation

IPL is best positioned as a post-summer treatment, once clients are no longer actively tanning or spending long periods in the sun. This makes it an excellent option for clients who want to repair visible summer damage or prepare their skin for the year ahead. Make clients aware that starting their hair journey in September will prep them for Summer 2027.

Collagen Lift for Fine Lines, Sagging and Sun Damage

UV exposure can contribute to collagen and elastin breakdown, which may lead to fine lines, wrinkles and loss of firmness. SkinBase Collagen Lift is designed to stimulate new collagen production and improve the appearance of ageing skin.

How Does Collagen Lift Work?

Collagen Lift uses radio frequency technology to warm the skin and trigger a wound-healing response. This encourages fresh collagen production, helping the skin look plumper, smoother and firmer.

What Does Collagen Lift Treat?

Collagen Lift can help clients concerned with:

• Fine lines
• Wrinkles
• Sagging skin
• Loss of firmness
• Signs of sun damage
• Premature ageing

Relaxing & Non-Surgical

The treatment is also relaxing and is often compared to a hot stone massage. Conductive gel is applied to cleansed skin to ensure optimal contact with the wand, while the skin is warmed gradually for comfort and results.

Why SPF Is Essential for Summer Skin

SPF is one of the most important steps in any summer skincare routine. Remind clients to wear broad-spectrum SPF daily to help protect the skin from UV damage, pigmentation, premature ageing and further irritation. This is especially important before and after professional skin treatments. Clients should follow the correct aftercare advice and avoid excessive sun exposure where required.
