Get Glowing: Summer-Safe Skin Treatments for a No-Makeup Look
Kasey Bennett
As the days get warmer and the layers come off, most of us want to feel confident in our skin—without having to layer on makeup. Summer is the perfect time to embrace that fresh, dewy, no-makeup look. But how do you get that glow without putting your skin at risk in the sun?
Luckily, there are several effective, low-downtime treatments that are safe for summer and even for tanned skin. Whether you’re headed to the beach, attending events, or just want to feel refreshed, here are some of my favorite options to help you look and feel radiant all season long.
1. Microneedling: Glow from Within
Microneedling is a summer-friendly favorite. It stimulates collagen production, smooths texture, and helps soften fine lines—all without using heat or harsh chemicals. Even better? It’s safe for all skin tones and can be performed even if your skin is tan. We love pairing it with PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) or PDGF (platelet-derived growth factors) to enhance healing and boost your results. It’s a great option for giving your skin that natural, lit-from-within glow.
2. Chemical Peels: A Safe Summer Refresh
Think you have to skip chemical peels in the summer? Think again. We use medium-depth peels that are safe for all skin types and tones, even tan skin. The key is post-treatment care: wearing sunscreen diligently while your fresh skin is healing. Peels can help improve acne, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone—making them a great alternative to BBL (Broadband Light therapy), which requires avoiding sun exposure for two weeks beforehand. If BBL isn’t an option for you in the summer, a peel might be the perfect solution.
3. AQUAGOLD: The Ultimate Pre-Event Glow
If you want smooth, poreless skin that looks like a filter in real life, AQUAGOLD is the way to go. This microinfusion facial uses tiny gold needles to deliver a custom blend of Botox (in microdoses) and hyaluronic acid directly into the skin. It minimizes pores, reduces oil, and gives you that glassy, smooth texture we all love—without downtime or sensitivity to the sun. It’s ideal before weddings, vacations, or any time you want your skin to look next-level.
4. SKINVIVE: Deep Hydration That Lasts
SKINVIVE is a game changer for hydrated, glowing skin. It’s not a filler—it’s an injectable moisturizer that smooths and hydrates from within. It can help with fine lines, enlarged pores, redness, and overall dullness. Best of all, results last 6–8 months, so it’s a perfect investment for long-lasting radiance through the summer and beyond.
