Summer is beautiful. The sun, the terrace, the water — we always want more. But by the end of August, your skin starts to speak up. Dull complexion, dropping hydration levels, small spots settling in: these are the (slightly less glamorous) marks of a great season. Good news: this is exactly what we’re here for.
At Kōena Spa, August is the ideal moment to give your skin a real reset — before fall sets in and the pace picks back up.
What the sun does to your skin (before you notice)
The summer sun, even with good protection, leaves its mark. UV exposure accumulates, dehydration sets in gradually, and dead skin cells build up on the surface. The result: a less radiant complexion, a less even texture, and sometimes small pigmentation spots that start to show.
The good news is that skin regenerates — it just needs a little help at the right moment.
The treatment your skin needs
At Mālama, our esthetics space, every treatment is tailored to you. Here’s what we recommend for end-of-summer skin:
You want radiance and to smooth out dehydration lines: The Bioeffect Facial is for you. It delivers an immediate glow you’ll feel the moment you walk out of the room.
You have small spots or an uneven complexion from sun exposure: The Yonka Vitamin C Facial works directly on pigmentation and restores an even skin tone. A classic for good reason.
Your skin feels tight, dry, or sensitive after summer: The Yonka Hydralessence Facial replenishes the skin barrier and brings back comfort in a single session.
You want to go further and really treat yourself: The Luzern Facial is our most premium signature treatment. After a deep exfoliation, Swiss active ingredients are infused into the skin using an oxygen gun. The results speak for themselves.
Don’t skip sunscreen — even in August
One of the best things you can do for your skin is apply a quality SPF every morning — even in the final weeks of summer. At Mālama, we carry the COOLA Organic Suncare line, a deluxe sunscreen that protects without weighing skin down.
And for those who want to keep up their routine at home, our team is happy to guide you through our selection of Yonka, Payot, Bioeffect, and Luzern — matched to your skin type and goals.
Keep the glow going into September
Summer lasts longer when you take care of it. A facial in August is already one step ahead of the back-to-school rush. We’ll set aside the time, you come in with your summer skin, you leave with a glow that sticks.
