Come into Clinton Plastic Surgery for personalized advice and treatment recommendations to discover your best skin, every season of the year.

Changing Seasons, Changing Skin Care Products

Your skin serves as a barrier between your body and the world. It takes the heat on hot days and faces an icy chill on cold ones. Your skin battles sun, rain, and snow. Your skin’s needs change throughout the year as the seasonal conditions change. Give your skin the protection and care it needs, and it will function at its best. Neglect your skin, and you may experience dullness, dryness, and discomfort. We recommend reevaluating your products with each changing season.

Your daily skin care routine will look similar throughout the year. Each day you’ll want to cleanse, moisturize, regenerate, and protect the skin. As seasons change, you’ll find that most of your products remain the same, with a few simple seasonal swaps. For hot summer weather look for:

We’ll work with you to find the right products for your skin type and the warmer weather. Ordering as easy as calling our office or visiting our online store.

Hydrate for Skin and Body

Are you drinking enough water? The skin contains about 64% water. If you’re not drinking enough, your skin will pay the price. Water intake needs vary depending on your body size, activity levels, and environment. Drink whenever you’re thirsty. Most experts agree that eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day is a good starting point for a daily hydration goal.

Summer Skin’s Not So Secret, Secret: Sunscreen

Everyone knows they should be wearing sunscreen, but it doesn’t always happen. If you’re not a regular sunscreen user, remember this: sun damage is a primary cause of premature aging. Those wrinkles and brown spots are likely caused by too much time in the sun and not enough sun protection. For gorgeous skin during the summer, and the rest of the year too, use sunscreen. We know this isn’t a secret beauty trick, everyone knows about sunscreen after all, but since sunscreen is often neglected, it is worth a reminder.

To ensure you’re getting the best results from your sunscreen, follow these simple tips:

Take Off Extra Layers

You’ve packed away your winter coat so why are you still carrying around extra layers of dull, dead skin? Exfoliation can help you shed damaged winter skin. Our Hollywood Laser Peel is one of our favorite exfoliating treatments. It uses both laser technology and a chemical peel for facial rejuvenation. It sends heat energy deep into the dermis, causing the skin to contract and tighten. This heat also destroys skin discoloration. Choose this peel to prep your skin for a big event or even just the summer season.

Repair Sun Damage

Sun damage can happen in an instant but lasts a lifetime. If you have sun damage, come see us for treatment. Our laser treatments for sun damage can help repair damage and restore the skin’s appearance. For sun damage we often recommend treatment with our fractional CO2 laser. One treatment can dramatically reduce sun damage, and with skin care maintenance and sun management, you can enjoy long-lasting results.
