What's the Best Facial for Summer Skin?
Summer skin has a lot working against it. Heat, humidity, sun exposure, and sweat can leave skin congested, dehydrated, and uneven all at once.
A Hydrafacial is the standout choice for the season: it cleanses, exfoliates, extracts, and deeply hydrates in a single treatment, with zero downtime and no sun sensitivity afterward. Results are immediate and last four to six weeks.
Viva’s Summer Glow Hydrafacial takes it further with a corrective serum booster, LED Light Therapy, and a relaxing arm and shoulder massage with Omorovicza Gold Shimmer Body Oil.

Can I Get a Spa Treatment If I Have a Sunburn?
It depends on the treatment and the burn.
For massage, a mild sunburn doesn’t have to cancel your plans. Your health and safety are our priority. Before your session begins, let your therapist know about any sunburn so they can discuss the best approach with you. Generally, they can work around affected areas and adjust pressure on sensitive skin. If you have blistering or open wounds, please reschedule and give your skin time to heal first.
For facials, Hydrafacials, and waxing, sunburned skin is generally a no-go until fully healed. Once you’re recovered, a post-sun facial is one of the best things you can do to restore hydration and repair summer damage.

What Does Dry Brushing Do, and Why Do Spas Include It in Massage Treatments?
Dry brushing uses a natural-bristle brush swept over dry skin to stimulate the lymphatic system, increase circulation, and exfoliate dead skin cells. It all happens before your massage even begins. Freshly exfoliated skin absorbs massage oils more effectively, so everything that follows feels richer. In summer, when sweat and sunscreen build up on the skin, the difference is especially noticeable.
At Viva, Full Body Dry Brush Exfoliation is available as an add-on to any massage. The brush goes home with you. It’s also a featured element of this season’s Golden Summer Massage Package.
Which Med Spa Treatments Are Safe to Get in Summer?
More than you might think. Every guest’s skin and lifestyle is different, so individual guidance always applies.
Treatments like Botox, dermal fillers, Forma radiofrequency skin tightening, and Hydrafacial are commonly performed year-round. Others, including certain laser and resurfacing procedures, may require more planning around sun exposure. Your Viva expert provider will walk you through any pre- and post-care specific to your treatment and your skin.
The best first step is a complimentary consultation with Viva’s medical team. We’ll assess your skin, understand your summer lifestyle, and recommend a plan that works for you.
Is Summer a Good Time to Start Laser Hair Removal?
Summer is when most people start thinking about laser hair removal. That makes it a great time to start planning. A full treatment series typically involves multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart, so starting your consultation now sets you up well for smooth results going into fall and beyond.
Sun exposure and individual skin factors can affect your treatment plan, so Viva’s expert med spa team member will walk you through everything at your free consultation, including how to get the best results safely.

What's the Best Skin Care Routine for Summer?
Texas summers are long and hard on skin. Heat and humidity clog pores, sun exposure accelerates damage and uneven tone, and air conditioning quietly dehydrates skin all season long.
The daily essentials: gentle cleanser, lightweight moisturizer, and SPF 30 or higher, every day and reapplied outdoors. Add a vitamin C serum like SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic in the morning to defend against environmental damage and brighten sun-induced uneven tone.
Professional treatments do what products alone can’t. A monthly Hydrafacial keeps pores clear, hydration deep, and skin balanced all season long.
