Summer is synonymous with sunshine, swimming, outdoor adventures and moments spent in the fresh air. Between the shores of Lake Annecy, the peaks of La Clusaz and the long, bright days, the season invites us to make the most of every moment.
This particularly enjoyable time of year also calls for special attention to preserve the skin's radiance and comfort. Sun exposure, wind, chlorine and seawater are all part of the summer lifestyle and naturally influence the skin's needs.
Alice, Spa Manager at Cristal Spa Annecy, shares her tips for caring for your skin throughout the summer and maintaining a fresh, radiant complexion.
Choose lightweight and refreshing hydration
As temperatures rise, the skin appreciates lightweight textures that provide freshness and comfort throughout the day.
For Alice, serums are invaluable allies during the summer season. They provide the skin with the hydration it needs while leaving a pleasant feeling of lightness.
PHYTOMER's Hydracontinue 12H Flash Hydrating Serum fits perfectly into a summer skincare routine. Applied morning and evening before your moisturiser, it helps maintain optimal hydration and delivers an immediate sensation of freshness. Its practical format also makes it easy to take with you wherever you go.
To complete your routine, ALPEOR's Fluide des Cimes stands out with its airy texture and its ability to enhance the skin's radiance and firmness.
Reveal your skin's natural radiance
Summer is also the perfect season to treat your skin to radiance-boosting skincare.
Applying a face mask once or twice a week helps maintain a luminous complexion and comfortable skin.
ALPEOR's Masque Fusion, with its second-skin effect, provides an immediate lifting sensation and reveals visibly fresher, more radiant skin in just twenty minutes.
Among Alice's favourite beauty tips, freshness holds a special place. Storing your face mask, eye contour treatment or serum in the refrigerator before use transforms your skincare routine into a true wellness ritual, particularly appreciated on sunny days.
Sun protection, summer's essential ally
Among the season's key skincare habits, sun protection remains a must.
Applied every morning, it helps the skin cope with the effects of the sun while preserving the harmony and radiance of the complexion day after day.
PHYTOMER Sun Active SPF 30 Face Cream combines protection and comfort thanks to its pleasant texture, ideal for everyday wear.
Treat yourself to a radiance boost
Summer is also the ideal time to enjoy a wellness escape in one of our treatment rooms.
Oligoforce Lumination by Phytomer (60 minutes - 140€) combines marine vitamin C and trace elements to revive the complexion's radiance and provide an instant boost of freshness.
Neiges Éternelles by Alpeor (80 minutes - 190€) draws its effectiveness from powerful Alpine active ingredients. It helps smooth facial features, improve skin firmness and reveal a beautifully luminous complexion.
These treatments offer a deeply relaxing experience while addressing the skin's specific needs throughout the summer season.
The most beautiful beauty gesture of summer
The most beautiful beauty gesture of summer goes far beyond a product or a skincare routine. It can be found in those moments when we slow down, enjoy our surroundings and allow ourselves a genuine pause.
Whether it's a stroll along the shores of Lake Annecy, a hike through the Aravis mountains, or a few hours at the Cristal Spa, each moment becomes an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and your wellbeing.
After a day spent in the sunshine or surrounded by nature, a few simple gestures help prolong that feeling of comfort and serenity: hydrate, protect and soothe your skin throughout the season.
Because beauty flourishes through the balance between self-care and the enjoyment of life's simple pleasures, the teams at Cristal Spa Annecy and Cristal Spa Beauregard are here to guide you throughout the summer in choosing the treatments and products best suited to your needs and desires.
