Do You Really Need a Different Skincare Routine in August? Here’s What Experts Recommend

Summary:
Yes, August’s shift from intense heat to drier, late-summer air means your skin needs different support. Swapping out harsh actives for hydrating ingredients and booking a seasonal facial like our Cryoskin + ZO Stim Peel can help your skin adapt, recover, and glow.

Why August Isn’t Just “More Summer” for Your Skin

August might still be hot in Colorado Springs, but the humidity often drops, especially at elevation. Combined with sun exposure, chlorine, and travel-related stress, this change can leave your skin:

• Dry and dehydrated
• Inflamed or reactive
• Breaking out from sunscreen buildup

Transitioning your skincare routine in late summer isn’t just a luxury, it’s a strategic step to protect your skin barrier and maintain a healthy glow into fall.

What to Change in Your Routine

Now is the time to rebalance your products. Instead of layering heavy actives or harsh exfoliants, go lighter, calmer, and more replenishing.

Swap Out:

• Potent exfoliators used more than 2x/week
• Rich creams that may clog pores
• High-strength retinoids (especially if your skin is sun-stressed)
  

Swap In:

• Lightweight, hydrating serums with hyaluronic acid or niacinamide
• Antioxidant mists to fight free radicals
• Calming masks or gel-based moisturizers
  

Pro Tip: Hydration isn’t just about how your skin feels, it’s about supporting your lipid barrier and reducing inflammation. That’s key for long-term skin health.

The Role of Seasonal Facials

Professional treatments like the Cryoskin Facial + ZO Stimulator Peel help your skin hit the reset button fast. Here’s how:

• Cryoskin Facial uses cooling to depuff and tone
• ZO Stim Peel provides gentle exfoliation without downtime
• Together, they rehydrate and brighten sun-stressed skin in just 45 minutes

This combo is perfect for August, when your skin needs recovery, not more aggression.

Why Book in August?

Think of this month as your skincare “pivot point” before fall. You’ll get the most out of your facials and products if you:

• Start calming inflammation before it turns into dryness or pigmentation
• Restore moisture levels after weeks of sun, sweat, and sunscreen
• Support skin renewal before cooler temps slow down cell turnover
