☀️ Summer Skincare: How to Protect Your Skin from Sun Damage

Summer is a season of sunshine, beach days, and outdoor adventures—but it also comes with an increased risk of sun-damaged skin. At Nude Skin Beauty, we’re passionate about helping you enjoy summer without sacrificing your skin’s health. Here’s what you need to know to protect, nourish, and glow all season long.

Why Sun Protection Matters

Ultraviolet (UV) rays are the number one cause of premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and skin cancer. Even a short time in the sun without protection can accelerate skin damage—especially on the face, chest, and hands.

☂️ 1. Use a Broad-Spectrum SPF—Every Day

• Choose SPF 30 or higher, and ensure it protects against both UVA and UVB rays.

• Apply 15–20 minutes before going outside.

• Reapply every 2 hours, and immediately after swimming or sweating.

• Don’t forget your lips, ears, and the back of your neck!

💡 Pro Tip: Mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are ideal for sensitive skin and offer immediate protection.

👒 2. Create a Physical Barrier

• Wide-brimmed hats, UV-protective sunglasses, and lightweight, long-sleeved clothing go a long way.

• Seek shade between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. when the sun’s rays are strongest.

• 
  

💧 3. Hydrate from the Inside Out

Sun and heat dehydrate your skin quickly.

• Drink at least 2 liters of water a day.

• Add water-rich foods like cucumber, watermelon, and berries to your diet.

• Use a hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture.

• 
  

🧴 4. Repair and Replenish Every Evening

Even with SPF, your skin needs recovery.

• Use a gentle cleanser to remove sunscreen and impurities.

• Apply a vitamin C serum to combat free radicals and brighten the skin.

• Follow up with a moisturizer and a few drops of nourishing facial oil.

• Consider a night cream with niacinamide or peptides to support barrier repair.

  
  

💆‍♀️ 5. Don’t Skip Professional Treatments

Summer can be a great time for:

• Hydrafacials to deeply hydrate and clear congestion.

• Sun damage-targeted treatments, like our custom microneedling with vitamin infusions.
