18 Tried and True Methods to Balance Your Complexion

Should my skincare routine change with the seasons?

As seasons change, so do our skin’s needs, but finding a routine that fits your unique requirements isn’t always easy. From hydrating serums and lotions to the latest treatments and therapies, how do you know what will truly work for you? Before reaching for the latest viral product to soothe irritation, take a moment to consider a few of our tried and true methods that address your skin's individuality.

Combating Dehydration

Dry skin is a common struggle, especially during colder months when moisture levels dip. Serenity by the sea Spa’s Moroccan Body Melt offers a luxurious solution by using rich Argan oil to nourish and deeply restore, leaving your skin feeling silky smooth. Between treatments, use a body oil after a warm shower to seal in absorption and prevent dryness.

Balancing Uneven Skin Tone

Addressing uneven skin tone can be challenging, but achieving a radiant complexion is possible. Our Illuminating Facial tackles hyperpigmentation with a 20% peel and brightening sheet mask to reduce dark spots. Adding a Vitamin C serum to your morning routine can help protect against the sun’s harmful rays and prevent early aging.

Soothing Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin requires a gentle approach, especially during seasonal transitions. Our Serenity O2 Facial uses mild exfoliation and oxygen therapy to soothe irritation and deliver deep hydration, perfect for those who need extra care. Outside of our spa, use products with calming ingredients like chamomile or aloe vera, and avoid overly abrasive scrubs. A simple way to soothe irritated skin is to use a cool, damp cloth for a few minutes, followed by a fragrance-free moisturizer.

Clearing Breakouts

Breakouts and acne can be quite frustrating, but there are effective ways to manage them. Our Signature HydraFacial deeply cleanses, extracts impurities, and infuses the skin with antioxidants to reduce breakouts. For at-home care, use a salicylic acid cleanser and apply a clay mask weekly to control excess oil. Just be careful not to over-exfoliate, as it can further irritate the skin and exacerbate breakouts.

Lifting and Firming Without Needles

The journey to smoother, youthful skin doesn’t have to involve invasive procedures. Our Beyond Botox Facial uses Dermaplaning, a gentle peel, and a firming mask to reduce fine lines and enhance skin texture. At home, incorporating a retinol cream can also help improve elasticity over time.

Targeting Dark Spots Effectively

Hyperpigmentation can leave your skin looking and feeling uneven, but our Glo2 Facial focuses on oxygenating the skin to target discoloration and enhance overall brightness. For at-home care, look for ingredients like niacinamide and licorice root extract, both can help lighten dark spots.

Rejuvenating and Restoring Firmness

If your skin feels less firm or is losing its youthful elasticity, our Warm Spiced Mud Wrap uses seaweed and aromatic spices to boost circulation, detoxify and support collagen production. Facial exercises, as simple as massaging the cheeks and jawline, can also help improve circulation and support a firmer look.

Repairing and Nourishing Sun-Damaged Skin

Sun damage can leave skin feeling dry and weathered. Our Deluxe HydraFacial combines soothing boosters with LED light therapy to repair and nourish sun-damaged skin. At home, soothing aloe vera gel can help calm sunburn, while products rich in antioxidants, like vitamin E, can help repair damaged skin cells.

Clearing Your Mind

A Deep Tissue Massage might seem unrelated to your complexion, but reducing overall stress and inflammation indirectly supports clearer skin. Between massage appointments, consider participating in activities like yoga or meditation. With a Serenity by the Sea spa membership, you can enjoy complimentary fitness classes every day of the week and save up to 25% on a single service daily!*
