Why Does My Skin Change So Much in the Summer?
Ever looked in the mirror in July and thought, “Why is my skin suddenly oily, patchy, or breaking out?”
You’re not imagining it. Summer in Edmonton brings dry heat, high UV exposure, and sweat a combination that can trigger breakouts, dullness, or dehydration if your skin isn’t ready.
Whether you’re heading to a weekend lake trip or just want to feel fresh and confident at work, now is the time to give your skin the summer prep it deserves.
“Your glow this summer starts with what you do before the sun hits its peak.”

FAQs: Edmonton Summer Skincare & Facial Treatments
- What facial should I get before summer in Edmonton?
HydraFacial is the most recommended—it’s gentle, deeply cleansing, and instantly brightens skin. - Should I exfoliate more in the summer?
Yes, but don’t overdo it. Stick to 1–2 times a week max to avoid irritation under the sun. - Is sunscreen really necessary even on cloudy days?
Absolutely. UV rays penetrate clouds and windows, especially in high-altitude places like Edmonton. - How do I protect my skin after a facial treatment?
Avoid sun exposure for 24–48 hours, apply SPF religiously, and stay hydrated. - What’s the best hydrating treatment for dry summer skin?
HydraFacial or a deeply hydrating Signature Facial are both great options ask us which suits your skin type best. - Can I wear makeup after a HydraFacial?
