Wear sunscreen. It may sound simple and obvious, but a little sunscreen goes a long way when it comes to protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays. It will also help prevent wrinkles, skin cancer and burning. There are tons of great sunscreen options for every lifestyle. If you prefer a natural option, try The Honest Company Honest Sunscreen Stick in SPF 30 which received a 0 score, the best possible rating, on the ThinkDirty App! You can even purchase a makeup foundation that includes built-in SPF. We love Sulwhasoo Cushion Foundation with Built-In SPF 50.
Get Help from an Expert. An expert esthetician can help you clear up any skincare issues you are having and assess the best products for you to use on your skin type for maintaining beautiful skin. Try a treatment from Mobile Styles, the on-demand beauty app. With Mobile Styles, a licensed esthetician will come straight to your home for your facials and skincare needs.
Moisturize. Celebrity Aesthetician, NYT Bestselling Author and Owner of Jersey Boutique Spa says, “The sun is a beast and can cause the skin to become extremely dry, flake or even develop bleeding cracks. Opt for a balm moisturizer that is oil or cream based (not water) to lock in moisture.”

Drink Plenty of Water. Keeping hydrated will improve your complexion by helping your skin look bright and healthy. It also helps flush out toxins and prevents dryness.
Avoid the Sun Before Laser Treatments. If you are getting a laser treatment it’s a good idea to stay out of the sun two weeks before and after a treatment. Niki Garcia, a laser expert at Boom Boom Brow Bar advises those getting a laser treatment, “Don’t go to the gym, sauna, jacuzzi, ocean or pool for 2 days. Let your skin heal for 5 days before exfoliating.”
Exfoliate. Refresh your skin with some exfoliation after a long day of swimming and sweating. The experts at Luxury Spa Premier57 suggest a Korean Body Scrub. “This one-of-a-kind treatment will remove layers of dead skin (sunburn/peeling), dirt and oil, while also increasing circulation and firming the skin. This cleansing ritual has been an important part of Korean health, wellness, and beauty regimen.”
After-Sun Care. Soothe and hydrate skin after a long day in the sun with an after-sun care product like Babo Botanicals After Sun Soothing Hydrating Gel. The soothing, cooling and quick absorbing, unique formula leaves skin hydrated and healthy with no sticky residue. It is made with 75% organic aloe vera gel and a blend of plant-based ingredients.
