Bonus: Stock up on medical-grade skincare (looking at you, SPF) that will keep your skin protected while you soak up the sun.

The Synergy experts can guide you in selecting the right products, or the right treatments to address common concerns (think: addressing age spots or acne scarring), to keep your skin healthy and glowing all summer long.
