The Calgary Stampede is a city-wide celebration — and your skin is in the middle of it all. Between the heat, dust, cocktails, sweat, and full-glam makeup, your skin is working overtime. But it doesn’t have to suffer. Here’s your Stampede Skin Survival Guide from our clinical team at That Master Nurse — complete with products we recommend and treatments that actually work. Before You Go: Your skin needs protection before the party even starts. SPF is non-negotiable. Brush-on formulas are portable and easy to reapply. Vitamin C serum offers antioxidant support and helps prevent sun damage. Hale Derma mist keeps bacteria at bay and calms redness while you're out and about. Hydration matters. Water + electrolytes help prevent dehydration and inflammation. While You’re Out: A few small habits can make a big difference. Reapply sunscreen every 2–3 hours. Use Hale Derma to manage sweat and soothe skin irritation. Keep cleansing wipes handy to remove grime or makeup if needed. Alternate drinks with water to support your skin from the inside out. After the Rodeo: Your skin is tired — treat it with kindness. Double cleanse. First to remove SPF + makeup, then to cleanse your skin. Skip harsh actives. Instead, reach for hydration and barrier repair. Vitamin C and moisturizer help calm and reset the skin overnight. Once It’s All Over: Come back to clinic for recovery support. Vivier V-Stat Advanced Repair Gel is perfect for sunburns or irritation. Chemical peels are gentle but effective for clearing congestion and brightening skin. Our 365 Day Plan consultations help you go from reactive to proactive skincare — for results that last long after Stampede. Need a skin reset? We’ve got your glow covered.

Skincare isn’t one-size-fits-all. What works for your best friend, your favourite influencer, or your past self might not work for your skin right now.
Here’s the truth: Most people put in the effort. What they’re missing is a long-term plan tailored to their skin's unique needs.
Without the right treatment order, timing, or clinical insight, even the best products and treatments can fall short.
