Post-Summer Glow: Skin and Hair Revitalization Tips from OVME & Modern Salon & Spa
Summer fun comes with its fair share of sun, salt, and chlorine, and while it’s great for memories, it can take a toll on both skin and hair. As the temperatures cool and we transition into fall, it’s the perfect time to repair, refresh, and revitalize. We connected with the experts at OVME and Modern Salon & Spa at Waverly to share their top tips for restoring hydration, brightness, and overall health—so you can head into the cooler months looking and feeling your best.
What the OVME experts had to say:
After a summer full of sun exposure, chlorine, and saltwater, what’s the most common type of skin damage you see, and how can people address it?
The most common skin damage would result from UV and oxidative stress. UV damage results from prolonged sun exposure which leads to sunspots, increased skin texture, and fine lines. Oxidative stress causes free radical formation that leads to pigment changes (brown spots) resulting in uneven tone. Chlorine and saltwater will remove natural oils and weaken our skin’s moisture barrier leading to dryness and dullness of the skin.
In order to mitigate this, the focus should be on skin protection. Using a mineral based sunscreen will prevent sun damage and protect against free radical formation. After a long day in the sun, wash your face with a gentle cleanser (Revision Gentle Foaming Cleanser), use a Vitamin C serum (Skinbetter Science Alto Advanced Defense and Repair Serum), and a rich moisturizer (Skinbetter Science Trio Luxe Moisture Treatment).
Are there specific treatments or services you recommend in the fall to help restore hydration, brightness, and overall skin health?
A great facial treatment that focuses on hydration would be a Hydrafacial. This is a highly customizable, non-invasive treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates the skin. OVME’s membership program is the perfect addition to at-home skin care routines, offering a monthly facial starting at $99/mo as well as additional discounts on your medical grade skin care products and other services.
Fall is also the perfect time to start thinking about lasers. At OVME we offer RF microneedling, laser resurfacing, and BBL Photofacial. These treatments address a variety of skin concerns (browns, reds, dull skin, etc.).
What at-home products or daily routines can help maintain results between professional treatments?
Medical grade products have studies and literature to support benefit claims. A morning routine should always include: cleanser, vitamin C, moisturizer, and a sunscreen.
An evening routine should always include: cleanser, retinol, and moisturizer. These are the core products that will protect your investment towards professional treatments.
Any extra tips or recommended products/services?
We would highly recommend coming in for a complimentary VISIA scan at OVME. This is a skin analysis session where providers utilize a high-resolution imaging software that reveals insights into texture, wrinkles, pigmentation, and UV damage. This helps our experts create a personalized treatment plan tailored to each client’s individual skin needs.
What the experts at Modern Salon had to say:
How does summer weather and pool/beach exposure typically impact hair health and texture?
Summer sun, heat, and UV exposure can leave hair feeling dry, brittle, and more prone to breakage. Chlorine from pools and salt from the ocean strip away natural oils, while wind and humidity can rough up the cuticle, causing frizz, tangles, and dullness. Over time, this combination can fade color, weaken strands, and make hair feel rough or coarse to the touch.
What in-salon treatments do you recommend to repair damage, restore shine, and prep hair for the cooler months?
We recommend booking a deep conditioning or reparative treatment to replenish lost moisture and strengthen the hair from within. Our in-salon services, such as intensive treatments, smooth the cuticle, restore shine, and improve manageability. These treatments keep your hair healthier and better protected as you head into the cooler, drier months.
Are there any must-have products or simple at-home tips for keeping hair healthy and strong after summer?
At home, we love the Organethic Pure Care Sun Care line, which includes a shampoo, conditioner, and protective spray. The shampoo gently cleanses while removing salt, chlorine, and mineral buildup. The conditioner restores softness and hydration, and the protective spray shields strands from UV rays and environmental stressors, making it ideal year-round. We also recommend installing a Jolie Filtered Showerhead to reduce chlorine, heavy metals, and other impurities from your water, which helps keep your hair softer, shinier, and more manageable. Pair these with routine salon visits to keep your hair in its healthiest state.
Any extra tips or recommended products/services?
Keep up with regular trims to prevent split ends and maintain your style, and consider adding a conditioning treatment to revive your hair’s strength and enhance shine. Routine professional care will keep your hair healthy, vibrant, and strong well beyond the summer months.
Whether it’s a rejuvenating facial, targeted laser treatment, or a deep-conditioning hair session, taking the time to care for your skin and hair now pays off long-term. With a mix of professional treatments, at-home routines, and seasonal protection, you can maintain the glow and shine you’ve earned all year. Visit OVME and Modern Salon at Waverly to start your fall revitalization journey—your skin and hair will thank you.
