We know how exhilarating it feels to let the summer sun kiss our skin. But remember, too much of anything can be harmful and the summer sun is no exception. It can lead to sunburns, dry skin, faster skin aging, and worse.
So, let's talk about some fun and easy ways to show your skin some love in these sunny months...
Show Love with Sunscreen
Your best bet against the sun is sunscreen. Slather it generously and frequently, especially if you're splashing around in the pool or breaking a sweat. A broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more is your buddy. Don't forget to pay attention to every sun-kissed inch of your skin, not just your face!
Dress Up for Protection
Long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and wide-brim hats are your allies. Opt for bright or dark colours with tightly-knit fabric. Also don't forget the sunglasses, they give your eyes much-needed protection from the sun's harsh rays. Go for the ones that block out both UVA and UVB radiation.
Stay Hydrated
The summer sun can leave you parched, and your skin is no exception. Your favourite summer drinks are not just refreshments but also a way to keep your skin moisturised.
Be Shady
Seek shades under the tree or an umbrella, especially between 10 am to 4 pm. If you're beach or park bound, don't forget your shades, canopies, or any situations that provide some shelter.
Pamper your Skin
After your skin braves the sun, it's time for some TLC. Moisturisers, body oil, lip balms, and after-sun products are just what you need to replenish the hydration of your skin and lips, and our expertise in hydrating and moisturising balms can help. Check out our limited edition Botanical Lip Balm, perfect for adding moisture to dry and cracked lips during the summer months, and our latest skin launch, the NEW Navy Body Oil in the brand's signature scent.

Remember, folks, prevention is the best defense. The more you care for your skin, the less it has to suffer later. Let's enjoy the summer safely and responsibly. Stay sunny, stay happy!
