Summertime was made for poolside lounging and the great outdoors. Studies have shown a moderate amount of sun, which provides vitamin D, is beneficial to overall health. But over-exposure can result in premature aging, hyper-pigmentation and rough, dry patches, which is why the spas at MGM MIRAGE resorts offer exceptional treatments and products to address your summer skin needs.

Whether you want the perfect tan without harmful UV rays or to soothe and repair damage you’ve already done, you’ll leave the MGM MIRAGE spas feeling refreshed with a healthy, vibrant glow. Here are three ways to achieve beautiful summer skin:

Protect – The best way to guard against sun damage is to protect your skin from UV rays. ColorScience, available at the Grand Spa inside MGM Grand, uses mineral powders that block UVA and UVB rays unlike traditional sun blocks that can clog pores. Available in transparent or tinted powders, these sunscreens double as foundations, bronzers and highlighters to provide flawless, waterproof protection for up to six hours.

It is just as important to protect your hair during summer months. Cristophe Salon, inside the Grand Spa, offers an extensive line of Soleil by Kerastase, which protects your hair from becoming dry and brittle. Try Voile Protecteur, a non-oily spray that provides UV protection, leaving hair soft and supple, or Hydra Fresh, a moisturizing mist that provides advanced protection and leaves hair looking shiny and silky.

Repair – Premature aging can be triggered by even minimal exposure to harmful UV rays, causing skin to lose elasticity. Sans Soucis Relaxolution skin care, available at Monte Carlo Spa & Salon uses biotechnological ingredients to relax muscles, reducing expression lines and creases. This three stage system, consisting of 24-hour Care skin moisturizer with UV protection, High Relax Gel and Eye Mask, ensures fast results and smoother, younger looking skin.

Exfoliate – Exposure to sun leaves skin dehydrated causing rough, dry patches. Pure Fiji Coconut Sugar Rub, available at The Spa at New York-New York, combines a unique blend of natural ingredients including quick absorbed, cold pressed, virgin coconut oil and exotic nut extracts to hydrate and replenish skin. Naturally occurring alpha hydroxyl, found in the fresh sugar cane crystals buffs away dry, aging skin cells and unclogs pores. Available in a variety of tropical scents. Use regularly for a glowing, healthy complexion.
