Top 5 Beach Day Skincare Tips You Should Try This Summer
Do you know that applying and reapplying sunscreen on the beach isn't enough to get you that sun-kissed glow you've always desired?
Yes! A lot is at stake here. From the damaging UV rays to the salty water, sandy wind and other environmental factors that may affect your skin barrier.
Well, does that mean you should avoid going to the beach? Absolutely no!
Going to the beach is the whole point of experiencing a fantastic summer vacation.
Just like we promised earlier, we got you covered 100% percent this summer. Have all the fun, and leave us to worry about your skin.
All you have to do is follow these top 5 powerful skincare tips to maintain healthy skin before, during, and after the beach.
Prep Your Skin For Fun Beach Time
Just like every other night where you hydrate before going to sleep, your pre-beach skincare routine should follow the same path. Exposing your skin at the beach is like subjecting it to a harsh condition, so you'll have to ensure it doesn't feel thirsty.
So, we recommend proper cleansing at night and in the morning before. You may decide to use our Bleach Cream Soap for that. Then, apply a hydrating serum that can draw water into the skin, just like our Hyaluronic Acid Serum. Finally, seal it off with a good moisturizer.
Most importantly, it's advisable to avoid using any product that contains retinol or exfoliants two to three days before your beach time. These ingredients remove dead skin cells by chemically exfoliating to thin your skin. Since the revealed skin is much younger and still under the effects of the chemical exfoliants, it's still delicate and will easily get burned by the sun.
Stay Hydrated During Beach Day
As we mentioned earlier, don't allow your skin to get thirsty due to the damaging UV rays of the sun and sandy sea wind. Hence, ensure you keep hydrated throughout your stay on the beach.
For this, we recommend either our Control Serum PH 5.5 or Hyaluronic Acid Serum. The former is recommended because of its ability to draw water into the skin and balance the skin's PH level. These products are also lightweight, so you shouldn't worry about over-sweating.
On top of the serum, apply any moisturizer of your choice. You can choose Carrot Moisturizer, Ita Nourishing Cream, Placental Moisturizer, Vit C + SPF 15 Cream, etc.
Ultimate Sun Protection
Of course, at this point, this is one of the most crucial steps. Don't ever make the mistake of leaving your house for the beach without applying sunscreen.
For regular sunscreen, you may apply and reapply at intervals to effectively block harmful UV rays from damaging your skin. However, on the other hand, you can decide to go for our 24-hours Sunblock SPF 50 Regular or Medium Tone.
Unlike other sunscreen, this product is unique because it provides 24-hour UV rays protection from the sun. With it, you need to apply once before leaving for the beach. And, of course, it's purely lightweight and water-resistant.
Soothe and Repair
This particular step falls under the post-beach skincare routine. When you are back, your ultimate goal should now be to replenish the lost moisture and nutrients.
First of all, start the process by cleansing your skin with gentle cleansers such as Bleach Cream Soap and the Blanco Purifying Facial Cleanser. Avoid scrubbing your skin. After that, if you experience sunburn or itchiness from salty water, kindly apply our Aloe Vera Gel and moisturize thoroughly with Azulene Moisturizer to suit the skin.
But if there is no itchiness or irritation, you can switch to moisturizing with our Vitamin C serum or any of our Mineral Gold Night Cream for antioxidant nourishment.
Have A Good Rest
After frolicking under the sun, now is the time for rest. Also, don't forget to eat well because your skin needs it as much as your body system.
However, assuming you noticed breakouts or funny appearances on your skin after your beach outing. You only need to book an appointment or schedule a free consultation via our website by uploading a picture or video of the affected area. Our top medical estheticians will analyze it and get back to you soon with a professional recommendation.
