Maintaining advanced skin treatments such as SQT Bio Microneedling during the summer months is essential for several reasons. The combination of increased sun exposure, higher temperatures, and outdoor activities can significantly impact the skin.
Here are some key reasons why it’s important to keep up with advanced skin treatments during the summer:
Protection Against Sun Damage & clogged pores
- Increased UV Exposure: Summer months bring longer days and more sunshine, which means more exposure to harmful UV rays.
- Outdoor Activities: Increased outdoor activities during summer can lead to more exposure to pollutants and bacteria, which can clog pores and cause acne.
- Advanced skin treatments often include products with high SPF and ingredients that provide additional protection against UV radiation.
- Preventing Hyperpigmentation: SQT Bio Microneedling can help prevent and reduce sun-induced pigmentation and dark spots by promoting even skin tone and enhancing skin renewal.
Managing Skin Hydration
- Combatting Dehydration: High temperatures and increased perspiration can lead to skin dehydration. SQT Nourish & Hydrate (aka the non injectable skin booster) can replenish moisture and maintain skin elasticity.
- Barrier Protection: The treatment strengthens the skin’s barrier function and can help prevent moisture loss and protect against environmental stressors common in summer.
Controlling Acne and Oil Production
- Increased Sebum Production: Heat and humidity can cause the skin to produce more oil, leading to clogged pores and breakouts. The SQT resurfacing treatment can help manage oil production and keep acne under control.
- Exfoliation: Regular exfoliation through SQT Bio Microneedling treatments helps remove dead skin cells that can clog pores, thus preventing acne and keeping the skin smooth.
Consistency is Key
- Treatment Efficacy: Acne treatments often require consistent use over several weeks or months to be effective. Interrupting treatment can lead to a resurgence of acne, undoing the progress made.
- Prevention: Continuation of treatment helps prevent new breakouts from forming. Summer conditions can exacerbate acne, so maintaining treatment is crucial for keeping skin clear.
Repairing and Healing
- Addressing Sun Damage: SQT spicules have UV protection properties, this helps to heal and repair skin that has been exposed to the sun, reducing inflammation, and preventing long-term damage.
- Promoting Skin Renewal: SQT Bio Microneedling promotes cell turnover, which can accelerate the skin’s natural repair processes, maintaining a youthful and healthy appearance and enhancing skincare absorption by up to 3000%
Aesthetic Maintenance
- Smooth and Even Skin Texture: Maintaining treatments like SQT can ensure a smooth skin surface and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, which can be more noticeable with summer squinting and sun exposure.
- Enhanced Results: Continuous care ensures that the benefits of previous treatments are prolonged and that the skin remains in optimal condition, ready to face the challenges of the summer environment.
Practical Tips for Summer Skin Care
- Use Sunscreen Religiously: Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily, and reapply every two hours or after swimming/sweating. Use a sunscreen labeled as non-comedogenic to prevent it from worsening acne.
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and use hydrating skin products to keep the skin moisturised.
- Keep the skin hydrated with oil-free moisturisers to balance sebum production.
- Cleansing: Cleanse the skin twice daily to remove sweat, oil, and impurities, but avoid over-washing, which can irritate the skin.
- Avoid Touching Your Face: Minimise touching your face to prevent the transfer of oils and bacteria from your hands to your skin.
- Wear Protective Clothing: Hats, sunglasses, and UV-protective clothing can shield your skin from direct sun exposure.
- Schedule Treatments Wisely: Opt for professional treatments that suit summer conditions and follow the post-treatment care instructions carefully to avoid complications from sun exposure.
- Include ingredients like Vitamin C and tyrosinase inhibitors into your routine
By maintaining a regimen of advanced skin treatments during the summer, you can protect your skin from the heightened risks of sun damage, keep it hydrated and clear, and ensure it remains healthy and glowing throughout the season.
