Are you a sun lover who can't resist soaking up those warm rays? While basking in the sun can feel amazing, it's important to take care of your skin before, during, and after sun exposure. Here are some essential skincare tips to keep your skin healthy and glowing.
Before heading out into the sun, it's crucial to prepare your skin. Start by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Our Sun Drunk 100% Mineral Sunscreen offers invisible sun protection, is lightweight, and absorbs quickly. Apply liberally to cover all exposed areas of your skin, including your face (don't forget your lips to prevent them from getting chapped or sunburned), neck, ears, arms, and legs.
1. Reapply Sunscreen: Reapply sunscreen every two hours, or more often if you're swimming or sweating. Our mineral sunscreen ensures that your skin stays protected without leaving a white cast.
2. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. Dehydration can lead to dry, flaky skin.
3. Seek Shade and Wear UPF Clothing: Take breaks in the shade, especially during peak sun hours (10 AM to 4 PM). Wearing UPF clothing, like our stylish UPF shirts, can provide additional protection while keeping you cool and comfortable.
After a day in the sun, it's time to pamper your skin.
1. Cleanse Gently: Take a cool shower to soothe sun-exposed skin and remove any sunscreen or sweat buildup. Avoid harsh exfoliants that can irritate sun-exposed skin.
2. Soothe and Repair: Apply our Aloe Vera Gel to soothe any sunburn and hydrate your skin. Aloe vera is known for its cooling and healing properties (calm inflammation).
3. Nourish Your Lips: Reapply a nourishing lip balm to repair any dryness or chapping.
Sun exposure is so enjoyable and beneficial when managed correctly. By following these essential skincare routines, you can protect your skin, maintain its health (did we say that our Mineral Sunscreen also have Niacenamide? this incredible ingredient strengthens the skin's natural barrier, helping to retain moisture and protect against environmental damage), and enjoy the sun safely. Remember, Sun Drunk is here to provide you with the best products to support your sun-loving lifestyle!
Stay protected and glow on!
