Calgary Stampede-Ready Skin: How to Protect, Cleanse, and Recover this Season
July 9, 2025
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.

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.
