Summer Skincare Tips From Pure Aesthetics SRQ


Protect Your Glow While The UV Index Soars
Protect Your Glow While The UV Index Soars

Summer in Florida is all about sunshine, beach days and outdoor fun- but it's also the time when your skin needs extra protection and care. At Pure Aesthetics SRQ, I specialize in results-driven skincare and advanced treatments that keep your skin healthy, radiant, and protected all season long.


Let's break down the essentials of summer skincare, from choosing the right sunscreen to booking the perfect treatment for sun-exposed skin.


The UV Index Is Higher in Summer- Here's Why That Matters

The UV index is a measurement of the strength of ultraviolet radiation from the sun - and it's consistently higher in the summer months. In Florida, the UV Index can reach an extreme level between 9-11+ which is considered dangerous exposure in less than 10-15 minutes. Avoid direct sun during peak hours (10am-4pm) Increased exposure to UV rays leads to:

  • Accelerated aging

  • Pigmentation and dark spots

  • Increased redness and inflammation

  • Increased risk of skin cancer

Even on cloudy days or quick errands, your skin is still exposed. Daily sun protection is non-negotiable if you want to preserve your skin's health and glow.


Favorite SkinCeuticals Sunscreens for Summer

SkinCeuticals is trusted by Dermatologists and skincare professionals for their efficacy and science-backed formulas. Here are some summer must haves:

  1. Brightening UV Defense SPF 50

    Ideal for those concerned with sun spots and pigmentation, this lightweight formula provides powerful protection while brightening uneven skin tone.

  2. Daily Soothing UV Defense SPF 40

    Designed for sensitive or redness-prone skin, this soothing sunscreen helps calm inflammation while offering broad-spectrum defense.

  3. UV Physical Fusion SPF 50 Tinted

    A client favorite! This mineral-based, water-resistant SPF offers a beautiful tinted glow and blends seamlessly into the skin. It's perfect for light coverage on no make-up days or in place of make up for healthier skin.


HydraFacials: Your Summer Glow-Up Treatment

Looking for a non-invasive treatment that leaves your skin glowing and refreshed? HydraFacials are one of the top summer treatments at Pure Aesthetics SRQ. They:


  • Gently exfoliate and extract impurities

  • Deeply Hydrate the skin

  • Improve texture and radiance

  • Deliver instant results with zero downtime


Because there's no peeling or irritation, HydraFacials are safe and effective - even during the hottest months.


Don't Forget Your Summer Accessories

Sun protection isn't just about skincare products- it's a lifestyle. Consider wearing:


Wide-brim hats to shield your face and scalp


UV Protective sunglasses to protect the delicate eye area and reduce squinting

(hello, fewer fine lines!)

These simple habits go a long way in preventing skin cancer, premature aging and sun damage.


Reapplication is Key

No matter how high your SPF, it only works if you reapply it. Reapply sunscreen every two hours, and always after swimming, sweating or toweling off. Keep a mini SPF in your beach bag, purse or car so you're never unprotected.


Stay Radiant with Expert Skincare

At Pure Aesthetics SRQ, I believe summer skincare should be simple, effective and luxurious. Whether you're looking for the best SPF for pigmentation or a relaxing facial to combat sun damage, I am here to help you glow confidently all season long.
