With longer days, warmer air (and hopefully more sun!), it’s natural to want your skin to feel fresh, healthy and glowing. But not all skin treatments are suited to the summer months — especially when UV exposure is higher. The good news? There are still plenty of treatments that are safe, gentle and super effective for this time of year.

Here are my favourite summer-friendly skin treatments to keep you glowing through the season:

1. Deeply Hydrating & Cooling Facials

Sweat, SPF, and warmer temperatures can throw skin out of balance — making it feel more oily, dehydrated or prone to breakouts. Treatments like Hydroluxx facials are ideal in summer, as they combine gentle exfoliation with hydration and cooling oxygen infusion, leaving skin feeling fresh and plump without any downtime.

2. Sculpting Facial Massage

If you’re after that natural lift and glow (without needles or heat), facial massage is perfect. It boosts blood flow, encourages lymphatic drainage (great for puffiness or hay fever face), and gives a toned, lifted look that’s great before holidays or events.

3. LED Light Therapy

This non-invasive treatment uses light wavelengths to target issues like breakouts, inflammation or dullness. It works beautifully in summer, as there’s no irritation or downtime — just a calm, glowing complexion.

4. Gentle Enzyme-Based Exfoliation

Exfoliation is still important in summer to keep the skin clear from SPF build-up and dead skin. While I prefer to pause stronger peels in warmer months, enzyme-based exfoliation can gently brighten without compromising your skin barrier.

5. Circulation-Boosting Body Massage

Warmer weather can leave your body feeling heavy, swollen or sluggish — especially legs and feet. A therapeutic body massage helps shift fluid, ease muscle tension, and give you that overall summer-ready feeling.

A note on stronger treatments:

Some treatments, like Skin Needling and the Algae Peel, are best saved for cooler months — think autumn and winter — when there’s less UV exposure and skin is naturally more protected. I usually recommend booking these from October through to May.
