Your Mid-Year Skin Reset

¡Hola beautiful! Summer is in full swing, and while vacations and sunshine are taking center stage, your skin might be telling a different story. I've seen how sun exposure, dehydration, and clogged pores from sweat and sunscreen can leave even the most dedicated skincare enthusiasts looking dull or irritated.
That's why July is the perfect time for a skin reset. At Herasme Beauty, I believe in smart, seasonal skincare, evidence-based treatments that work with your body's natural healing processes, not against them. Here's how we're helping clients revive their glow this summer without the downtime or damage that comes with aggressive treatments.
Why Summer Skin Needs Special Attention (From a Medical Perspective)
As a healthcare provider, I see the physiological changes summer brings to our skin daily:
Your skin barrier gets damaged: Heat and humidity break down your skin's natural protective layer, causing it to lose moisture faster than it can be replenished.
Even oily skin gets dehydrated: This might sound backward, but when your skin loses moisture, your oil glands go into overdrive trying to compensate, leading to dehydration even if your skin feels oily.
Sun exposure creates dark spots: UV rays trigger your skin cells to produce more pigment as protection, which shows up as dark spots, sun spots, and uneven skin tone.
Your collagen breaks down faster: Sun damage doesn't just affect the surface, it destroys the collagen you have while preventing your skin from making new collagen, leading to fine lines and loss of firmness.
Instead of aggressive resurfacing like deep peels or ablative treatments, summer calls for regenerative, collagen-supportive therapies that strengthen your skin barrier while promoting cellular renewal. Power Up Your Skincare Routine (The Science-Backed Way)
Let's start with the medical-grade basics that work:
Broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every single day, UV rays penetrate windows and reflect off surfaces, even indoors. Most important reapply not a one and done!
L-Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) to neutralize free radicals and stimulate collagen synthesis.
Hyaluronic acid serums that can hold up to 1,000 times their weight in water, like AlumierMD's HydraDew, for that effortless summer glow.
Pro tip: Most clients think they need heavier moisturizers in summer, but your skin craves lightweight, penetrating hydration that won't clog pores or feel sticky under sunscreen.
While medical-grade skincare forms the foundation of healthy summer skin, sometimes we need to go deeper. That's where regenerative treatments come in. I've seen firsthand how the right combination of advanced skincare and minimally invasive treatments can transform how you look and feel in your own skin.
Whether you're exploring your first aesthetic treatment or ready to take your skincare to the next level, I'm here to guide you every step.
Of course, understanding what's available is part of feeling confident about any treatment. So let me share some of the options I offer, starting with what I consider a game-changer:
Plated: Advanced Skincare That Actually Works
If your skin needs a reset but you're not ready for injectables, let me introduce you to what I consider the future of skincare: Plated. This isn't your typical department store serum, it's made with concentrated healing ingredients that literally communicate with your skin cells, telling them to repair and renew themselves.
Think of it as giving your skin a direct message: "Hey, time to act young again!"
From my clinical experience, clients see the most dramatic results using Plated:
After treatments (like microneedling or PRF) to speed up healing and boost results
As your daily anti-aging serum to smooth fine lines, improve texture, and strengthen your skin barrier
To calm irritated skin after too much sun, stress, rosea or breakouts
The difference? Most serums just sit on top of your skin. Plated actually gets your skin cells working harder to repair, rebuild, and refresh themselves from within. It's like having a personal trainer for your skin cells.
Microneedling: Customized for Your Comfort & Goals
Microneedling remains one of my favorite summer-safe treatments because I can customize the depth, technique, and enhancement based on your skin's unique needs and comfort level.
PRF Microneedling: We take a small amount of your own blood and spin it to concentrate all your natural healing factors. Then, during microneedling, we apply this concentrated healing serum directly to your skin. It's like giving your skin its own personalized repair kit, made from YOU, for you. Your skin gets exactly what it needs to heal faster and look better because we're using your body's own natural healing power.
Custom Skin Cocktails: Our peptide and vitamin-infused cocktails offer incredible regeneration potential for clients who prefer to avoid blood draws. I formulate these based on your pigmentation, texture, or hydration concerns.
Clinical benefits include:
Measurable improvement in skin texture and elasticity
Reduction in acne scarring and fine lines
Enhanced barrier function and hydration retention
Increased dermal thickness over time
Pro enhancement: Pair with Plated post-treatment, and I consistently see 40-50% faster healing times with superior results.
Your Personalized Summer Reset Plan
Whether you're dealing with:
Post-vacation skin damage or uneven texture

Fun fact: Did you know that when Shakira first worked with Gloria Estefan, she was so nervous about her English that she only spoke Spanish and felt embarrassed to sing in English? Look at her now, a global icon who looks absolutely radiant and ageless at 48! Sometimes we all need someone who speaks our language to help us feel comfortable and confident.
For my Spanish-speaking clients who want that extra comfort and care, I'm here for you, podemos hablar en español throughout your entire journey. ¡Vamos a brillar juntas!

Michelle's Beauty Empowerment Corner
This month, let's talk about confidence in your skin, literally. Summer can make us hyperaware of our "imperfections," but I want you to remember that true beauty isn't about perfection, it's about feeling comfortable and confident in who you are.
Spotlight Treatment: Under Eye PRF Gel treatment ($650)
Using your body's own healing factors to naturally brighten, smooth, and refresh the delicate under-eye area. No synthetic fillers, no downtime, just your skin looking like the best version of itself.
Empowerment Tip: Your skin continually regenerates every 28 days, and you have essentially new skin cells. The treatments we do together simply optimize that natural process. You're not "fixing" anything wrong with you; you're supporting what your body already knows how to do.
