Post-Summer Skin Rehab: Reverse Sun & Salt Damage in St. Pete
Relax & Reset at Spindrift Aesthetics
St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay summers are unmatched—endless sunshine, salty Gulf breezes, and weekends on the water. But as much as we love beach days and boat rides, our skin often pays the price. UV exposure, salt, heat, and humidity can leave behind dryness, dullness, and stubborn pigmentation. If you’re noticing your skin looking less than radiant as we head into fall, it’s time for a post-summer skin rehab plan tailored for St. Pete locals.
Why Sun and Salt Stress Your Skin
UV rays: Even with sunscreen, daily sun exposure breaks down collagen, triggers hyperpigmentation, and accelerates fine lines.
Saltwater & chlorine: Both strip the skin of natural oils, leaving it tight, flaky, and more prone to irritation.
Humidity & heat: Prolonged sweat and clogged pores can lead to breakouts and uneven texture.
Together, these factors create what we call the “end-of-summer slump”—skin that looks tired, rough, and dehydrated.
Treatments to Repair & Refresh
At Spindrift Aesthetics in St. Petersburg, we specialize in bringing skin back to life after months in the Florida sun. Our top post-summer skin rehab services include:
1. DriftGlow Facial
Our signature DriftGlow facial deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates—perfect for restoring balance after salt and sun. Add LED therapy to calm redness and boost collagen. Customize your treatment with serums that help target acne, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles.
2. Dermaplaning
Gentle exfoliation that removes dead skin cells and peach fuzz, instantly brightening dull skin and creating a smooth canvas for skincare and makeup. This is a great add on to any facial service to help improve dull complexions.
3. PCA Chemical Peels
Fall is peel season in Florida. PCA peels target sun spots, melasma, and texture issues caused by UV exposure, revealing fresher, more even skin. PCA peels are gentle for all skin types and blended to address multiple areas of concerns in one sitting.
4. Microneedling with Exosomes or PRP
I personally feel microneedling is one of the most underrated beauty treatments. For deeper repair, microneedling stimulates collagen production while exosomes or PRP speed healing and enhance results—ideal for reversing fine lines and sun damage.
5. Medical-Grade Skincare Reset
Pair your treatments with PCA Skincare and Spindrift Beauty products designed to rebuild the skin barrier and lock in hydration. My favorite amongst the collections? The PCA gentle exfoliator face wash is great for daily use helping to keep your complexion glowing. My signature Replenish & Repair cream keeps your skin barrier healthy and hydrated with ceramides and nicinamide.
Why St. Pete Locals Need Seasonal Skin Rehab
Living in a coastal city means our skin battles extra environmental stressors year-round. By committing to a seasonal reset each fall, you’ll help fade summer pigmentation before it sets in permanently, help reduce long-term collagen destruction and damage, and get you ready for the holiday season with glowing, refreshed skin.
