As the city heats up and your calendar shifts from back-to-back meetings to beachside cocktails, your skincare routine deserves the same seasonal refresh. Transitioning from the hustle of the office to the glow of vacation mode means it’s time to re-evaluate what your skin needs—and trust us, it’s more than just SPF.

At Blink Lash Club, we know that our clients live busy lives. That’s why we’ve curated the top summer skincare treatments to help you swap your winter-weary rituals for glow-boosting summer essentials. Whether you’re heading to the Hamptons or just staying radiant on your rooftop, these three treatment upgrades will keep your skin sun-kissed and selfie-ready.

Why You Need a Summer Skin Switch

Just like your wardrobe, your skincare should adapt with the seasons. The products and treatments that protected and hydrated your skin through chilly winds and dry office air won’t cut it under intense sun and city heat.

Heat and humidity can trigger excess oil production, clogged pores, pigmentation, and dehydration—all at once. That’s why it’s important to invest in summer skincare treatments that work with your skin’s needs during the warmer months.

And while sunscreen is non-negotiable, it’s only part of the puzzle. True summer skin success comes from aligning your entire seasonal beauty routine with treatments designed to refresh, restore, and renew.

Swap 1: From Deep Hydration Facials to Cooling, Pore-Refining Treatments

In the winter, hydration is everything. But when summer rolls in, that ultra-rich facial you love might be a little too much. Heavy masks and moisturizers can clog pores, especially if you’re already sweating.

Instead, opt for facial upgrades for summer that focus on detoxifying the skin while providing lightweight hydration. At Blink Lash Club, we offer oxygen-infused facials and enzyme peels that gently exfoliate without stripping your skin. These treatments reduce excess oil, prevent congestion, and leave your face visibly brighter.

This is also a great time to incorporate LED light therapy, which can help calm sun-stressed skin and kill acne-causing bacteria without any downtime. Pair it with one of our glowing skin treatments to achieve that fresh-off-vacation radiance—even before you hit the plane.

Swap 2: From Traditional Waxing to Sugaring or Laser

Nobody wants to deal with post-shave bumps or redness before heading to the beach. And waxing in summer? It can irritate already sun-exposed skin, leaving you with more sensitivity than you bargained for.

That’s why more clients are shifting toward sugaring, an organic technique that uses a simple blend of sugar, lemon, and water to remove hair without damaging the skin. It’s gentler than waxing and ideal for sensitive summer skin. Plus, there’s no risk of burns, making it a top pick for those hot-weather touch-ups.

If you’re looking for something even longer-lasting, Laser Hair Removal is the gold standard. With the latest cooling technologies and customized treatments at Blink Lash Club, lasering is are now a summer-safe option for many skin tones.

No matter your method, smooth skin is a must for your seasonal beauty routine, and now’s the time to get it right.

Swap 3: From Barely-There Lash Lifts to Vacation-Proof Extensions

Office life might call for a natural lash lift, but vacation mode is your permission slip to go bold. Picture this: you wake up, hit the pool, head to dinner—all without touching your mascara. That’s the power of customized lash extensions.

At Blink Lash Club, our lash techs specialize in building looks that match your summer energy. Whether you prefer soft and fluttery or full-glam, our lash extensions are water-resistant, sweat-proof, and made to last.

Pair them with our glowing skin treatments like the signature Blink Glow Facial for that “no makeup, no problem” finish. When lashes and skin are both on point, you won’t even miss your beauty bag.

When to Start: Timing Is Everything

If you want results before your first beach weekend, the time to book is now. Summer skincare treatments often work best when started 2–3 weeks ahead of a trip, giving your skin time to recover and glow at its fullest.

Laser appointments should be scheduled even earlier, especially if you’re planning multiple sessions. Facials can be booked closer to your departure—but skip aggressive peels or extractions the week before flying to avoid irritation.

And don’t forget: your skin reacts to your overall routine, not just what happens in the salon. Drink water, get good sleep, and follow post-treatment care to maximize your results.

Bonus Tip: Add These Ingredients to Your At-Home Routine

To keep your in-clinic treatments working overtime, make sure your at-home products are aligned with your goals. Look for:

• Niacinamide for reducing inflammation and oil 
• Hyaluronic acid for lightweight hydration 
• Zinc oxide-based SPF for broad-spectrum sun protection 
• Enzymatic cleansers to gently clear debris without stripping 

Think of these as your daily backups to your summer skincare treatments, keeping your glow consistent even on non-appointment days.
