Sun’s Out, Skin’s In: Your Summer Skin Must-Haves

Filled with BBQs, vacations and beach days, the summer is a time for sun, fun and being outside.. That’s especially true this year, as world events have kept many of us from traveling and getting together over the past two years.It’s only natural to want to look and feel your best, and one of the easiest ways to do that is with a skincare overhaul.

What are the best skin products for my face and for the winter?

The sun, salt water and chlorine (not to mention traveling and jet lag) can zap the moisture right out of your skin. A nourishing moisturizer  like Youth Intensive Creme from iS Clinical provides skin-quenching and protective 24-hour hydration. This rich formula helps to visibly plump and smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles over time, making it an amazing option to counteract the effect of sun-soaked holidays that can leave skin looking parched.

Choosing a cleanser that can tackle multiple re-applications of SPF is essential, and iS Clinical’s Cleansing Complex is a cult favorite for a reason. This lightweight cleansing gel is powerful, yet gentle enough for hypersensitive skin and is formulated with bio-nutrients, antioxidants, and mild resurfacing ingredients that thoroughly cleanse the surface and pores of the skin without stripping essential natural oils.

For those with dry or dehydrated skin, the key to preventing the sun from exasperating your already parched complexion is layers of hydration. Adding a light moisturizer under your richer cream is a game changer. We love Reparative Moisture Emulsion from iS Clinical for this. It not only soothes and hydrates, it also helps protect skin from environmental aggressors with Extremozyme® technology. Oily skin types can also use this as their stand-alone moisturizer in the morning (it wears beautifly under makeup!).

Last but certainly far for least, SPF. There is no more important thing you can do for your skin or your future self than wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen every single day, rain or shine. Eclipse SPF 50 from iS Clinical uses a unique fusion of scientifically advanced physical sunscreens (transparent titanium dioxide and micronized zinc oxide) coupled with pure vitamin E to provide superior water-resistant broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection.

While proper skincare can and does make a huge difference in your complexion, devices can supercharge your results and take your skin to the next level. One of the best options out there is an FDA-cleared device called LightStim. Red light therapy is a key therapeutic treatment for inflammation that works by penetrating the body at the cellular level with specific wavelengths of light, reducing swelling and supporting tissue repair and regeneration. LightStim in particular, combines this therapeutic light energy with patented technology as an inflammation after surgery treatment in an easy-to-use, at home device. It accelerates the body’s recovery process by increasing circulation and is even FDA cleared to relieve pain. Now, you may be wondering why we’re recommending something for healing and inflammation when we’re talking about skincare. Here’s why: all skin woes—from acne to scars, to wrinkles and even dryness are a result of damage to the skin. And where there’s damage, there needs healing.
