Top 5 Ways to Prep Your Skin for Summer

Belladerm • April 8, 2021

The warm weather is right around the corner and with it, the sun’s harmful UV rays which can cause damage and premature aging. Don’t be afraid to show a bit of skin, but make sure to protect it. That doesn’t mean you have to stay inside or lather on the heavy foundation but it may be time to change up your summer skin care routine. If you prepare your skin now, you can show off your bare-faced, beautiful complexion all season long. Read on for our top 5 ways to prep skin for summer.

Medical Cosmetics and Sunscreen

Our skin is the most exposed organ to harmful stressors during the summer. You should proactively defend it with high-grade medical cosmetics including moisturizers, serums, and eye creams, for your daily morning and evening routines. And don’t forget the sunscreen – the single, most important product to use during the sunny summer months. Belladerm carries a variety of top product lines to keep you protected and looking your best year-round:

  • The SkinMedica ® aesthetic product line includes repairing creams and sunscreen formulated to restore the skin and promote self-healing.
  • iS Clinical® serums improve complexion and provide antioxidant protection.
  • Colorescience ®  offers non-chemical sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays throughout the day.
  • Epionce ®  toners, cleansers, and sunscreen keep your skin clean, refreshed, and protected.

Facials

Facials are an effective way to detoxify the skin, promote blood circulation, lower stress, treat acne, and help repair sun damage. They can even encourage collagen production and give you a smoother, more even skin tone. Belladerm offers a wide range of facial services to keep your skin healthy and glowing throughout the season. Here’s a few of our favorites:


  • The Bella Classic Corrective and Gentlemen’s Executive™ defend against environmental aggressors, reduce imperfections, and feel amazing at the same time.
  • Our specialized HydraFacial™ exfoliates to clear away imperfections like sun damage, blackheads, whiteheads, enlarged pores, acne, brown spots, uneven skin tone, and wrinkles. This four-in-one treatment uses a variety of revolutionary serums and is great for oily or acne-prone skin.

BOTOX®

If you’ve been squinting in the sun and are struggling with frown lines, crow’s feet, or deep forehead wrinkles, consider BOTOX®. This treatment only takes a few minutes and is performed by our highly skilled injection specialists. With BOTOX®, you won’t have to worry about those lines getting deeper.

Fillers

In the summer, your levels of hyaluronic acid (HA) may decrease the more you are in the sun. HA is a naturally occurring substance in your body that retains water, giving you plumper, softer, and smoother skin. Skip the highlighting and opt for a non-surgical face lift with our dermal fillers , which replace the HA you have lost over the years.

Microneedling

Microneedling is the perfect treatment for busy summer schedules. It’s quick and versatile, treating a variety of skin issues from hyperpigmentation and scars to sun damage and stretch marks. The more skin is exposed to the sun, the less collagen it produces. Microneedling increases the production of collagen, making your skin look and act younger. Best of all? It’s not just for the face; treatments can be applied to the neck, arms, hands, legs, abdomen, and back.

Your skin is your body’s largest organ. Make sure it’s protected this summer with proven, effective skin care products and treatments from Belladerm MedSpa. Our expert aestheticians can recommend the best brands and services that align with your desired goals and outcomes. Request an appointment or contact us to learn more.

When it comes to high-performance skincare, SkinMedica consistently tops the list—and for good reason. Known for their innovative formulations and scientifically backed ingredients, SkinMedica products work to transform your skin on a deeper level. Whether you’re targeting fine lines, discoloration, or overall skin texture, these products deliver results you can see and feel. As we celebrate SkinMedica’s Anniversary, it’s the perfect time to explore some of their most-loved and effective products and discover why SkinMedica continues to be a go-to brand for those serious about their skincare journey. TNS Advanced+ Serum Often considered the crown jewel of SkinMedica’s lineup, TNS Advanced+ Serum is a powerhouse anti-aging formula designed to improve tone, texture, and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. What sets it apart? Its dual-chamber design delivers a potent growth factor blend alongside a peptide-rich serum, working synergistically to support skin rejuvenation at the cellular level. Clinical studies show visible results in as little as two weeks, making it a favorite among both providers and patients. If you're looking for a single product that does it all, this is it. HA⁵ Rejuvenating Hydrator Dry, dehydrated skin? Enter the HA⁵ Rejuvenating Hydrator — a hyaluronic acid powerhouse that delivers immediate, smoothing hydration while supporting your skin’s own ability to retain moisture. Unlike most HA serums that only contain one form of hyaluronic acid, HA⁵ features five types, giving you a more layered and lasting hydration. It’s ideal for all skin types and plays beautifully under makeup or SPF, making it a year-round must-have. Even & Correct Advanced Brightening Treatment Hyperpigmentation is one of the most common skin concerns, and SkinMedica’s Even & Correct Advanced Brightening Treatment was specifically formulated to address it without the use of hydroquinone. This powerful serum uses a combination of niacinamide, tranexamic acid, and a proprietary lotus sprout extract to visibly reduce the appearance of dark spots and prevent future discoloration. It’s a gentle yet highly effective solution for dull, uneven skin tone. Retinol Complex (0.25, 0.5, 1.0) SkinMedica’s Retinol Complex is ideal for anyone looking to introduce or upgrade their retinol routine. Available in three strengths, this formula encourages cell turnover, reduces the appearance of fine lines, and helps clear congested pores—all without the heavy irritation that comes with many prescription retinoids. It’s encapsulated in an advanced delivery system, allowing for a slow, steady release that’s effective and well-tolerated by most skin types. Why Investing in SkinMedica Makes Sense What truly sets SkinMedica apart is its clinical-grade efficacy and the brand’s commitment to research and innovation. Their products are formulated not just to treat symptoms but to support long-term skin health. And when you’re investing in quality skincare, every pump counts—these products are designed to give you visible, lasting results that make your daily regimen more effective. Celebrate SkinMedica’s Anniversary With Us There’s never been a better time to try SkinMedica — or to stock up on your favorites. In honor of their anniversary, we’re making it easier than ever to get glowing. Whether you’re looking to build your first medical-grade routine or elevate your current one, our team can help you find the right SkinMedica products tailored to your skin’s needs.

Summer is right around the corner, which means more sunshine, warmer temperatures, and plenty of outdoor adventures. But before you step into the new season, it’s the perfect time to refresh your skin with a DiamondGlow facial. This advanced treatment offered at Belladerm MedSpa exfoliates, extracts, and deeply infuses your skin with customized serums. Whether you want to combat lingering winter dullness, prep for a sun-kissed glow, or achieve your best makeup-free skin, here are five reasons to book a DiamondGlow facial before summer. 1. Protect Your Skin from Summer Breakouts With rising temperatures comes increased oil production, sweat, and sunscreen buildup—all of which can clog pores and lead to breakouts.

Hydrate and Strengthen Your Skin Barrier The transition from spring to summer can be rough on your skin, especially with increased sun exposure. DiamondGlow doesn’t just exfoliate—it also infuses professional-grade serums tailored to your skin’s needs, boosting hydration and reinforcing your skin barrier to better handle environmental stressors. 3. Brighten and Even Out Skin Tone If you struggle with hyperpigmentation, dullness, or uneven skin tone from past sun exposure, DiamondGlow’s infusion of brightening serums helps fade discoloration and boost radiance, giving you a fresh, even-toned glow just in time for summer. 4. Get a Smooth, Flawless Base for Summer Makeup (or No Makeup!) Whether you love a natural, dewy look or prefer a full face of glam, DiamondGlow enhances your skin’s texture, creating the perfect base for seamless makeup application—or the confidence to go makeup-free. It minimizes the appearance of fine lines and dryness, leaving your skin ultra-smooth and soft. 5. Enjoy Immediate Results with Zero Downtime Unlike some treatments that require recovery time, DiamondGlow delivers instant results with no irritation or peeling. That means you can book your appointment and walk out with glowing, refreshed skin—perfect for last-minute trips, weddings, or any summer events on your calendar.  Get Your Summer Glow Started! Summer is all about feeling confident in your skin, and the DiamondGlow facial is the perfect way to achieve a fresh, healthy complexion before the season kicks off. Whether you want to prevent breakouts, boost hydration, or enhance your skin’s natural radiance, this treatment delivers instant, long-lasting results with no downtime. Don’t wait until the summer skin struggles begin — book your DiamondGlow facial now and step into the season with your most luminous glow yet!
