The pool. The beach. The sun. The wind. The air conditioning. The joys of summer can also wreak havoc on your skin. Chlorine keeps pools free from harmful bacteria and algae, but strips the outer layer of skin of its protective coating of oils, sweat and natural acids. The immediate result is dry skin. Good preparation and protection are your best allies for summer enjoyment without future blues. Knowing how your skin type reacts to the sun's UV rays can help you protect yourself.

• Exfoliate to lift away dry winter skin cells. During and after summer, skin rejuvenation treatments including face and body exfoliations and deep moisturizing treatments restore skin balance and health.
    
• Sunscreens are still the number one protection against the aging, drying effects of the sun. Invest in your future beauty with recommended SPF skin protection products. And our sunless tanners can give you that healthy glow without the danger of over exposure to the sun.
    
• Overexposure to the sun is one of the major causes of hyperpigmentation or discolorations of the skin. Products and treatments ranging from mild bleaches to acid peels can help reverse hyperpigmentation. If you are prone to this condition, it is advisable to limit sun exposure and wear a strong sunblock year round.
    
• Premature aging is the legacy of unprotected sun exposure. Deep cleansing, rejuvenating massage and professional products and treatments that firm, lift and moisturize can help revitalize your skin. Peels are a particularly effective way to reverse premature aging.
