Why Summer Is the Perfect Time for a Hydrating Facial in Washington Heights, NYC

Summer can be brutal on your skin — especially in NYC. Between sweating, sunscreen buildup, humidity, heat, and sun exposure, your skin can start feeling congested, dehydrated, textured, or dull even if you’re drinking water constantly.

At Esthetics by Kiara in Washington Heights, NYC, one of the most requested summer treatments is our customized hydrating facial because it helps deeply cleanse the skin while restoring hydration and glow without feeling heavy.

A lot of people think oily skin means hydrated skin — but during the summer, many clients are actually dehydrated while also producing excess oil. This can lead to:

  • Congested pores
  • Breakouts
  • Rough texture
  • Makeup separating
  • Tight or irritated skin
  • Excess shine

Our customized summer facials are designed to help:

  • Remove buildup from sweat and SPF
  • Gently exfoliate dead skin
  • Support the skin barrier
  • Hydrate without clogging pores
  • Brighten dull skin
  • Calm inflammation from heat and sun exposure

Depending on your skin’s needs, your facial may include:

  • Deep cleansing
  • Enzyme exfoliation
  • Gentle extractions
  • Hydrodermabrasion
  • Customized masks
  • LED light therapy
  • Hydrating serums
  • Barrier-supporting products

If your skin has been feeling “off” this summer, your barrier may simply need support and hydration.

Many clients in Washington Heights, Inwood, and Uptown Manhattan book facials during the summer not just for relaxation — but to maintain healthy skin while dealing with NYC heat and humidity.

Healthy glowing skin always looks better than trying to cover stressed skin with makeup.
