Summer is a vibeāsunshine, beach days, pool parties, and weekend getaways. But itās also the season when UV rays go into overdrive, and your skin takes the hit. If youāre not protecting your face and body from sun exposure, youāre risking sunburn, discoloration, premature aging, and damage that can be difficult (and expensive) to fix later. Learn about these 5 essentials for sun protection to be summer ready.
Why Sun Protection Matters (Even More Than You Think)
Sun damage isnāt just about getting a sunburnāitās one of the top causes of skin aging, melasma, sun spots, and even skin cancer. Even short, daily exposure (think: walking to your car or sitting near a window) adds up. And if youāve recently had a cosmetic procedureālike a peel, laser, or acne scar treatmentāyour skin is even more vulnerable to UV damage.
Thatās why sun protection needs to go beyond the basic drugstore SPF. We recommend medical-grade formulas and accessories that work hard behind the scenes while keeping your glow intact.
Here Are 5 Products to Help You Stay Summer Ready:
1. UV Protection Visor
Best For: Daily errands, post-procedure protection, and full-face coverage
This is not your grandmaās visor. Dr. Qazi's UV Protection Visor is a lightweight, futuristic shield that protects your face from 99% of UVA and UVB rays. Itās a patient favorite after procedures like laser, subcision, or chemical peels when skin is too sensitive for sunscreen. Bonus: It looks sleek and stylish while offering superior defense.
2. Pigment Control Advanced Sunscreen
Best For: Those dealing with dark spots, melasma, or post-acne marks
This SPF pulls double duty: It protects while also helping reduce pigmentation over time. This formula is fragrance-free, tinted, and lightweight, making it ideal for daily wear without leaving a white cast. Perfect for patients managing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or uneven skin tone.
3. Heliocare
Best For: Extra internal protection for those who are always outdoors
Heliocare is an oral supplement made from a natural fern extract (Polypodium leucotomos) that boosts your skinās resistance to UV damage from the inside out. Think of it as your insurance policyāespecially helpful if you're spending the day outdoors, or if you tend to forget to reapply SPF.
4. Mesoestetic Mesoprotech Mineral Matt Antiaging Fluid SPF 50
Best For: Oily or acne-prone skin types
This mineral SPF provides broad-spectrum coverage with a matte finish that wonāt clog your pores. Itās oil-free, lightweight, and perfect under makeup. Patients love this one after Accure laser or acne scar treatments since it wonāt irritate healing skin.
5. SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50
Best For: Daily wear with a natural tint
This fan-favorite SPF combines mineral protection with a subtle universal tint to even out your complexion while blocking out harmful rays. Itās ideal for anyone who wants to streamline their skincare with a 2-in-1 product (SPF + light coverage).
Planning a Procedure This Summer? Protect Your Investment.
If youāre coming in for acne scar treatments, CO2 laser, phenol peels, or injectables, sun protection becomes non-negotiable. UV exposure after treatments can lead to hyperpigmentation, inflammation, and slower healing.
