So everyone is wearing lots of SPF and reapplying regularly, right? Right.
But what if sunscreen isn’t quite enough? Did you know that the sea and UV light can dry out the skin, compromising its natural barrier?
No stress, here’s an easy two-step post beach skincare routine.
- Cleanse Thoroughly, But Keep it Gentle: Make sure to give your skin a deep, thorough cleansing using a mild cleanser after a day at the beach. Mineral sunscreens are ideal in many ways, but also clingy and tough to rinse off completely.
- Rejuvenate and Hydrate: Slather on a soothing moisturizer with gentle-yet-effective antioxidants like, Vitamin C, that work to brighten, while improving hydration, and plant-based peptides to help restore damaged skin and combat photo aging. Our Moroccan Chamomile Sleeping Mask is your best bud on days like these. You can use it overnight or for a quick cooling and reparative 15-minute treatment to revive your skin and provide deep and lasting hydration, firming and brightening.
One thing not to to:
The key is to keep it gentle. The ocean water and air can strip you skin, so using harsh chemical or mechanical exfoliants are best saved in the days after your beach jaunt.
