Summer Skincare Tips for New Orleans Heat
Summer in New Orleans means heat and humidity. You’ll sweat, you’ll bake in the sun, and you’ll be in and out of air conditioned spaces day after day. While super dry air isn’t great for skin, all this heat and humidity can do a number on your face too. Here on Magazine Street you’ll find spas, salons, and skincare providers who know just what you need to keep your skin in tip-top shape through the summer months. Here are some tips from our skincare experts, plus treatments they offer for healthy, glowing skin.

Summer skincare tip:
Keep up with non-ablative treatments that can be done all summer long on any skin tone. And sunscreen! We love our Skin Better Science Tone Smart Mineral SPF for all skin tones. Vitamin C is your other best friend—it helps to neutralize free radicals caused by sun exposure enhancing the effectiveness of sunscreen.
Summer treatments:
Our office provides Aerolase NeoElite, a no-downtime, FDA-cleared, aesthetic medical laser that can address fine lines, pigment (sun spots or melasma), rosacea, acne and acne scars, and much more.

Glasskin

Summer skincare tip:
Apply an SPF 30 or higher every single morning-rain or shine, indoors or outdoors-and don’t forget to reapply every 2 hours. At Glasskin, we carry a curated range of non-toxic SPFs suited for every skin type to keep skin protected without irritation.
Summer skincare tip:
Our top summer recommendation is the bespoke Biologique Recherche facial, a hyper-customized treatment tailored to each client’s skin. It’s cooling, uses no steam or hot towels, and is ideal for warmer months. We also offer seasonal facials, like our Summer Antioxidant Facial, which are designed to protect and repair sun-exposed skin while restoring hydration and radiance.

Summer skincare tip:
Wear sunscreen every day. We offer several great sunscreen options here at the spa.
Summer treatments:
Our hydrafacial or our custom facials are designed to keep your skin healthy and glowing all summer.
EarthSavers
5501 Magazine Street
earthsaversonline.com
Summer skincare tip:
SPF & hydration! We suggest a physical sunscreen to create a barrier between your skin and the sun. This will prevent fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage. Make sure you’re applying (& reapplying) every day, even if it’s cloudy or you’re indoors near windows. Pair that with hydrating products (like our Earthsavers Plumping Peptide Hydrator) & drink plenty of water! We offer free skin consults 7 days a week and can help create a plan personalized for your skin!
Summer treatments:
HydraFacials are our go to for deep hydration, exfoliation, and that fresh summer glow. We also love dermaplaning to smooth skin & allow for better product absorption. For an easy, makeup-free vacation look, brow tinting and lash lift + tint are perfect low maintenance options to keep you feeling your best.
Freedom Apothecary
1900 Magazine Street
Summer skincare tip:
Protect your barrier (that outermost layer that keeps the good stuff in and the bad stuff out). Sunscreen and hydration are the obvious non-negotiable. Summer = sun, sweat, salt, chlorine, travel, AC, and outdoor grime—all of which can disrupt your skin barrier. Keep it strong with a gentle cleanser (no stripping foams), layer a hydrating toner or mist under your serum, ease up on exfoliant
Summer treatments:
We offer fully custom facials—each treatment is tailored to your skin’s seasonal needs using plant based, non toxic skincare. We focus on hydration, barrier repair, and post-sun recovery to keep your skin healthy, hydrated, and glowing—you can also enjoy add-ons like LED Therapy to soothe inflammation, encourage cell renewal.

Lab and Lounge
4209 Magazine Street
Summer skincare tip:
Hydration from within! Because we all hate adding anything extra on our skin, especially during the warm months, drinking lots of water, eating all the watermelon, cucumbers and fruit water blends is a must. You’d be surprised how this one trick can make the biggest difference to glowing skin.
Summer treatments:
We offer Lab & Lounge Facials, suntanning, threading and lash & brow laminations to help you save time and excessive products so you just enjoy the sun. We have a hydrafacial and steam treatments to help open and clear out clogged pores.

Paris Parker Salon
5434 Magazine Street
Summer skincare tip:
Start with a vitamin C serum like Aveda Tulasara Bright Concentrate | Brightening Serum with Licorice Root & Vitamin C. Apply under a mineral sunscreen to help prevent and control hyperpigmentation.
Summer treatments:
The combination of Aveda botanical skincare and a hydrafacial is the perfect after beach fix for a deep cleansing facial post- vacation that will flush your pores of sunscreen and dead cells and keep your skin glowing.

Petal Salon
1340 Magazine Street
Summer skincare tip:
Hydration is THE foundation of healthy, glowing skin. Even if you have oily or combination skin, keeping your skin well-hydrated helps balance oil production and enhances your natural radiance.
Summer treatments:
Hydrafacials deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and infuse the skin with moisture. We offer hydrafacials tailored to your unique skin needs, leaving you with a fresh, luminous complexion.
