Summer Skincare Hero: Why Dr. Alkaitis Soothing Gel Deserves a Spot in Your Beach Bag
By a Licensed Esthetician Who Swears By It

As an esthetician, I’ve worked with countless products—but few have earned a permanent place in both our spa treatment rooms and my personal routine quite like the Dr. Alkaitis Organic Soothing Gel. And if you’re looking for a true multitasker this summer, look no further. This golden-green elixir is more than just skincare—it's skin therapy.

Whether you’re dealing with heat rash, post-wax redness, sunburn, or even a sneaky bug bite, this calming gel is about to become your skin's new best friend.

🌿 What Makes Dr. Alkaitis Soothing Gel So Special?

First off, let’s talk ingredients. Dr. Alkaitis is famous for his “raw living” philosophy, meaning the ingredients are not only organic, but processed in a way that preserves their healing properties.

The Soothing Gel features a base of organic aloe vera, witch hazel, and Dr. Alkaitis’ proprietary herbal complex, which includes anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant-rich botanicals. These aren’t just buzzwords—this is true plant medicine.

🌞 Summer Skin Saviors: The Gel's Best Uses

Here’s how we—and many of our clients—use it in the warmer months:

1. Post-Sun Skin Rescue

If you’ve overdone it in the sun (hey, it happens), the cooling aloe and anti-inflammatory herbs help bring down redness and irritation fast. Apply a thin layer to sun-exposed areas and feel the instant relief.

2. Bug Bite Itch Relief

One of my favorite “off-label” uses! The gel’s antibacterial and calming properties make it excellent for mosquito bites. It reduces inflammation and the urge to scratch—which, let’s face it, can make things worse.

3. Breakout Control (Yes, Even in Humidity)

This isn’t just for sensitive skin—it’s also fantastic for acne-prone skin, especially in the summer when sweat and sunscreen can clog pores. The Soothing Gel has natural antiseptic properties that calm active breakouts and prevent new ones from forming—without drying you out.

4. After Shaving or Waxing

Use this on your bikini line, underarms, or anywhere prone to post-shave bumps. It reduces inflammation, soothes irritation, and helps prevent ingrown hairs.

5. Hand Sanitizer Sidekick

All that hand washing and sanitizing? This gel helps soothe raw, dry hands without the heavy, greasy feeling of a cream.

6. Post-Facial Peace

In the treatment room, We often use it after extractions or chemical peels to reduce redness and help the skin bounce back faster. It’s especially great for clients with reactive skin.

💚 Who Is It For?

Truly everyone. Whether your skin is oily, dry, sensitive, or somewhere in between—this gel adapts. It hydrates lightly without feeling heavy, which is especially important during hot, humid months when layering products can feel like a chore.

👜 Esthetician Tip: Keep It in the Fridge

Want to take the soothing effect up a notch? Keep your bottle in the refrigerator. The cool temperature gives an extra boost of relief—especially nice after a day in the sun or a sweaty workout.

Final Thoughts: Skin First Aid, Bottled

In a season where skin is exposed to more elements—sun, sweat, saltwater, chlorine, bugs—the Dr. Alkaitis Soothing Gel acts like a botanical bandage. Healing, hydrating, and calming, all in one step.

So yes, bring the SPF. Stay hydrated. But if you’re serious about keeping your skin happy this summer, don’t forget the Soothing Gel. Your skin will thank you.

Want to experience it in the treatment room? Ask us about how we incorporate Dr. Alkaitis into our facials, or pick up a bottle during your next visit—We always keep it in stock for a reason.

Stay glowing,
