Tx Bar Summer Skin

Summer Skin Survival Guide

Your expert advice from the clinical team at Tx Bar Geelong

After a long, chilly winter, summer has finally arrived, bringing with it sunshine, beach days, and a packed social calendar. With warmer weather comes a change in how we care for our skin. At Tx Bar Geelong, we’re here to help you keep your skin feeling fresh, protected, and hydrated—safely and professionally.

Our experienced cosmetic nurses, skin therapists, and Nurse Practitioner are here to support you with AHPRA-compliant advice, personalised product recommendations, and evidence-based skin treatments tailored to your needs.

☀️ Sun Protection: Your #1 Summer Essential

Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is essential—no exceptions. Not only does it help minimise visible signs of ageing, but it also helps protect your skin from UVA and UVB exposure, which can cause cumulative skin damage.

What’s the difference?

• UVA rays: Penetrate deeply and are associated with visible ageing.

• UVB rays: Responsible for sunburn and contribute to DNA damage in the skin.

Even incidental exposure—while driving, walking the dog, or hanging out laundry—can affect your skin over time. That’s why reapplication every 2–3 hours is key for consistent protection.

🍊 Antioxidants: Your Skin’s Daily Defence

Antioxidants help neutralise free radicals—unstable molecules produced by UV exposure and environmental stress. While vitamins A, B, C, and E offer antioxidant support, topical formulations are an efficient way to support your skin barrier during summer.

Recommended antioxidant serums available at Tx Bar:

✅ Aspect Dr Optiboost Complex
A lightweight, hydrating serum designed to support the skin’s recovery and reinforce resilience. Ideal for all skin types.

✅ SkinBetter Science Alto Defense Serum
A comprehensive formula featuring 19 antioxidants to support an even skin tone and barrier repair. Suited to dry, mature, or sensitive skin. (Available in-clinic only—ask your clinician)

💧 Hydration: Support From Within and On the Skin

Even with optimal water intake, only a fraction of that hydration reaches your skin. That’s why using hydrating skincare is crucial for maintaining a plump, balanced complexion during the warmer months.

Top picks from our clinical team:

💦 Aspect Dr Hyaluronic Serum
Two types of hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and antioxidants combine in this feather-light serum to hydrate and smooth skin.

🌿 Aspect Soothing Gel
Infused with aloe vera, chamomile, and cucumber to calm and refresh the skin—perfect post-sun or after active treatments.

🔬 Breakouts and Oil Control

Increased oil and sweat production during summer can contribute to congestion and blemishes. Supporting skin with lightweight, clarifying products can help manage this shift without stripping or irritating the skin.

🌞 Aspect Dr Multi B Serum
Think of it as a multi-vitamin for your skin—formulated with a complex of B vitamins to balance oil flow, brighten tone, and support barrier health.

🔥 Aspect Dr Problem Skin Serum
Designed to clarify and calm, this serum is ideal for those experiencing congestion or inflammation. Suitable for oily, acne-prone, or hormonal skin types.

🧼 Cleansing: Always, No Matter What

Sleeping in makeup, sunscreen, or sweat is a recipe for congestion. Clean skin at night is non-negotiable, especially during summer when skin is exposed to more environmental build-up.

Tx Bar offers a curated selection of cleansers to suit sensitive, oily, dry, or combination skin types. Chat to our team for a tailored recommendation.
