Summer is on our minds here at Look Lovely London, every time we see the sun starting to peek through our clinic windows! We can’t wait to pack up our winter woollies and make way for our summer dresses, but what about our skin? In much the same way that we change our wardrobe for the sun, it’s also the time of year when we need to be thinking about revamping our skin regime too.
After a long winter, your skin may need some extra attention to look and feel its best during the sunny season which is exactly what we’re here for! In this guide, we share our top treatments for prepping, protecting and prolonging your summertime glow.
Give your skin a boost(er)
Nourished, hydrated, refreshed, rejuvenated. The results of a skin booster perfectly describe how we want our skin to feel throughout the sunnier months. Summer weather can strip the skin of moisture and lead to dehydration. A skin booster will give you a burst of hydration from the inside out, quickly combatting the effects of sun exposure and heat all whilst acting to calm and refresh the skin.
One of the best things about a skin booster is the long-term effects. Boosters promote the production of collagen and elastin for several months, working to improve texture, tone and elasticity throughout summer and beyond.
We have a wide variety of boosters all trusted by our practitioners, to target whatever your concerns may be, so why not book in for a complimentary consultation and find your skin’s new saviour this season.
Refresh with a Hydrafacial
A popular preparation step for any season and for good reason! But if we are being summer specific, many steps within a Hydrafacial treatment are important for keeping your skin healthy this season.
Hydrafacial works to clear away dead skin cells, dirt and impurities caused by increased sweat and oil production through its deep exfoliation, extraction and cleansing stages. The natural ingredients used within the treatment will infuse the skin with moisturising serums that nourish, plump and combat the drying effects of sun and wind exposure. A Hydrafacial works to enhance the overall texture and tone of the skin, leaving it looking brighter and smoother.
Nothing leaves you feeling fresher than a six-step facial so give your skin a little TLC and keep it looking its best throughout your socialising this season by visiting us for a Hydrafacial.
Why not try the Hydrabody too?
Everyone talks about the wonders the Hydrafacial works for your face, but did you know the Hydrabody incorporates all that goodness into a body treatment too?
Hydrabody involves a full-body exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, followed by a moisturising mask or body serum application to deeply hydrate the skin. Designed to leave your skin feeling soft, smooth and refreshed, it is the perfect pre-summer treat to prepare your skin for the warmer weather and sun exposure.
We treat a variety of different areas including back, arms, thigh, booty and hands, so whatever area you’re thinking could use a little extra attention before summer, we’re here to help make sure your skin is ready for the sunny days ahead.
EMShape your Summer body
We all want to feel confident and comfortable heading into whatever the sunnier months have in store for us. Summer attire, social gatherings and vacations all play a part in many of us making it our goal to lose weight and tone up before the season starts.
The EMShape Neo is designed to provide a non-invasive solution for those looking to build muscle, reduce fat and improve overall body shape and tone. The device works by inducing powerful muscle contractions to increase muscle whilst also heating and destroying fat cells through radiofrequency.
Stomach, arms, legs or buttocks – the EMShape Neo is the ultimate body contouring trick to help you feel more comfortable in your own skin this summer. All of our practitioners are fully qualified to perform the treatment and with minimal preparation and no downtime required you can get started on your journey right away.
Everyday skin protection
SPF. We all knew this would be on this list.
The crucial component of any skincare routine, SPF protects and prevents the damaging effects of the sun. By incorporating SPF into your daily routine you can help safeguard your skin and maintain its health for years to come.
We recommend you use a broad-spectrum sunscreen and apply it generously before sun exposure as well as reapplying every two hours. If you visit Look Lovely London, it’s clear from our shelves that we love Obagi, Heliocare and ZO best! We have a range of sunscreens available for purchase including oil free and tinted products so feel free to ask you practitioner what one they think would suit your skin texture best during your appointment.
Enjoy your Summer!
