☀️ Sun Safety Meets Skincare With These Pro-Approved Steps
If you’ve ever walked out of your house in The Woodlands or Montgomery, TX in July and felt like your skin was sizzling, you’re not imagining things. Texas summers are intense—scorching sun, high UV indexes, and relentless heat. So, how do you protect your skin and keep it glowing (not frying) all summer long?
In this blog, we’ll break down summer skincare in Texas step by step—from SPF hacks to hydration habits—and share what the skincare pros at Rejuvé Wellness & Aesthetics recommend for real protection that still fits your lifestyle.
“What should I do to protect my skin in the summer in Texas?”
Wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, reapply every 2 hours, wear a hat and sunglasses, avoid peak sun hours, and use antioxidant-rich skincare products. Stay hydrated and get monthly facials to keep your skin healthy and sun-safe.
Let’s set the scene. Temperatures hover around 100°F, the UV index peaks at “extreme,” and you’re in and out of air-conditioned environments all day. This combo:
In short: your skin is under attack, and a basic moisturizer isn’t cutting it.
1. Make SPF Your Ride or Die
Sunscreen is non-negotiable in Texas. But are you using it correctly?
Pro tips from our aesthetic team:
✅ Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ (or higher if you’re fair-skinned)
✅ Use at least a nickel-sized amount for your face
✅ Reapply every 2 hours, especially if you’re sweating or swimming
✅ Use mineral sunscreen (with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) if you have sensitive skin
Our top dermatologist-approved brands? SkinCeuticals, EltaMD, and La Roche-Posay.
2. Don’t Skip Antioxidants
Sunscreen blocks UV rays, but antioxidants neutralize the free radicals that sneak through. Add a vitamin C serum in the morning to help boost your SPF’s power and brighten your skin over time.
Great options backed by science include:
3. Keep Your Skin Barrier Strong
Sun exposure can break down your skin barrier, leaving it more prone to redness, acne, and dryness. Look for moisturizers with ceramides, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid.
We recommend:
And remember—don’t over-exfoliate in the summer! Stick to gentle exfoliation once or twice a week max.
4. Book Monthly Summer Facials at Rejuvé
In-clinic skincare is your secret weapon when DIY hits its limit. At Rejuvé, we offer custom summer facials that soothe sun-exposed skin, clear congestion, and deeply hydrate.

5. Stay Out of the Sun (When You Can)
Yes, we know—it’s Texas. But try to avoid peak sun hours between 10 AM and 4 PM. And when you’re outside, wear a hat, sunglasses, and UPF-rated clothing.
Browse dermatologist-recommended sunwear at Coolibar and Solbari.
6. Hydrate Inside and Out
Skin needs water to stay plump and clear. In the heat, you lose moisture through sweat, so up your water intake and lock in hydration with skincare.

7. Get Regular Skin Checks
Sun damage isn’t just cosmetic. It’s a major risk factor for skin cancer, especially in southern states like Texas.
Schedule annual exams with a board-certified dermatologist, like those at MD Anderson Cancer Center or Houston Methodist Dermatology.
Look for SPF 30 or higher, broad-spectrum, and water-resistant. Mineral sunscreens are great for sensitive skin.
No. Even in humid weather, your skin needs hydration to maintain its barrier. Choose lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas.
Treatments like HydraFacials, SaltFacials, microneedling, and PRP can help reverse sun damage and support skin healing.
Water-rich foods like cucumber, watermelon, leafy greens, and omega-3s from salmon and flaxseed can support skin hydration.
Texas summers are no joke, but neither is your skincare game. With a few smart steps—and support from our expert team at Rejuvé Wellness & Aesthetics in The Woodlands and Montgomery—you can glow through the heat with healthy, protected skin.
