The sunny side of skincare
Share
Summer in Morden and Winkler is warm, bright, and over far too quickly, so most of us spend it outside. That sunshine feels wonderful and it also asks more of your skin. A few small habits keep you glowing all season, and when you want a reset, our Day Spa is here. You can book online for a customized facial any time.
Sunscreen comes first, always
If you take one thing from this post, make it this. Daily SPF is the single best way to protect your skin from sun damage and premature aging. Use a broad spectrum sunscreen, apply it every morning, and reapply when you are outside for long stretches at the lake or in the garden.
Hydrate inside and out
Heat pulls moisture from your skin. Drink water through the day and use a lightweight moisturizer so your skin stays balanced rather than greasy. A gentle hydrating serum under your moisturizer makes a noticeable difference in dry prairie air.
Exfoliate gently, not aggressively
Light, regular exfoliation clears the dull surface layer so the rest of your routine can work. The key word is gentle. Over-scrubbing in summer can leave skin sensitive to the sun, so ease off and let your products do the work.
How our Day Spa facials help
Kathy Peters, our esthetician, and our Dermalogica-certified skin care team tailor each facial to what your skin needs that day, from deep hydration to a calming post-sun treatment. It is a quiet hour for yourself and a real reset for your skin. You can see the full list on our Day Spa menu.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I get a facial?
Every four to six weeks suits most people, which lines up with your skin cell cycle. We will recommend a rhythm based on your skin at your first visit.
Do I need to stop using retinol before a facial?
Tell us what you use when you book. For some treatments we suggest pausing strong actives for a few days beforehand, and we will guide you.
Can I get a facial if my skin is sensitive?
Yes. Every facial is customized, so we adjust products and pressure for sensitive skin. Just let us know when you arrive.
