The Need For A Sun Care Routine
Skin Cancer
Prolonged UV exposure can give you more than just a bad sunburn— both UVA & UVB rays can penetrate the skin and actually damage the DNA within your skin cells, leading to mutations that increase the risk of developing skin cancer. Using sunscreen can help decrease this risk by at least 40%.
Premature Aging
Also known as photoaging, the sun’s rays are notorious for triggering the breakdown of your skin’s collagen and elastin supply. These 2 proteins are instrumental in reinforcing your skin’s structure, elasticity, and shape— meaning their breakdown leads to wrinkles, sagginess, and more fragile skin.
Hyperpigmentation
Hyperpigmentation can have a number of causes, but one of the most common triggers is UV exposure. In response to external factors like this, our skin cells will actually increase their production of melanin (skin pigment) – when too much melanin is produced, we get “sun spots”.
Dryness
Sun exposure can dry out your skin by damaging the outer layer and causing it to lose moisture and natural oils, leading to dryness & flakiness. This is why restorative, hydrating creams (like our Skin Recovery Cream) are so important for soothing sun-related dryness and sunburns.
Sunburn
When we get a sunburn, UV radiation damages the DNA in our skin cells, triggering an inflammatory response that results in redness, pain, and swelling. Our Skin Recovery Cream not only helps soothe & calm this inflammation, but also moisturizes and fortifies the dry, damaged skin barrier. This reduces redness and can help prevent peeling!
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I use the Sun Care Duo?
The Sun Care Duo includes our Mineral Facial Sunscreen & Skin Recovery Cream, designed to protect, hydrate, and nourish your skin from the effects of sunlight.
☀️ During Sun Exposure
Use about 2 fingers worth of Mineral Facial Sunscreen on your face and neck, reapplying about every 2 hours while in the sun.
💦 After Sun Exposure
After washing up after a day in the sun, use Skin Recovery Cream wherever your skin feels dry, or looks a bit pink or is sunburnt.
(Note: Skin Recovery Cream should only be applied to closed to closed skin)
Is your mineral sunscreen waterproof?
Our Mineral Facial Sunscreen is designed for daily wear and offers some sweat resistance. However, mineral sunscreens are generally less water-resistant than other types. We recommend reapplying every two hours and using a more water-resistant sunscreen if you plan to swim.
How do I soothe a sunburn?
Our Skin Recovery Cream is a great option for soothing dryness and inflammation— two of the key players in an aggravating sunburn. If you find yourself looking a little pink, dried out, with minimal peeling, apply the Skin Recovery Cream to the affected skin a few times a day to keep the area hydrated and boost skin integrity as it heals.
Pro Tip: Keep your Skin Recovery Cream in the fridge for added coolness as you apply!
Do I need Skin Recovery Cream if I don’t have a sunburn?
Hydration is an important part of any Sun Care Routine, whether you’re sunburned or not! (Ideally not!) Not only does our Skin Recovery Cream take care of moisturizing your skin (which tends to be dried out after a day in the sun) it also helps strengthen your skin integrity by boosting collagen synthesis— keeping your skin barrier even stronger for next time!
Does zinc oxide cause sunscreen pilling? (& how do I stop it?)
While mineral sunscreens offer your skin great protection, they are a bit notorious for sometimes pilling. Sunscreen pilling is when your sunscreen (and/or other products) start to ball up or flake on your skin. In short, this means your sunscreen isn’t doing its job to protect you from the sun.
Luckily, there are plenty of ways to fix this—simply make sure you give your products a few minutes to fully absorb into your skin between steps, and then your sunscreen should go on smoothly.You can also try simplifying your routine with fewer products, and make sure you’re routinely exfoliating!
When do I use the Skin Recovery Cream as part of my routine?
Many dermatologists favor mineral over chemical sunscreens— and there’s no shortage of reasons why. For one, mineral sunscreens tend to be much gentler on sensitive skin, as well as non-comedogenic— meaning they tend not to clog pores, so they’re also a great option for acne-prone skin. Mineral sunscreens also tend to be safer for the environment, and offer immediate, broad-spectrum protection by reflecting UV rays off the skin.

Highly Recommend
I spend quite some time outside every day and my skin is not really that protected. A friend of mine told me about this product a few days ago. I gave it a try and I can tell the difference! My skin feels more hydrated now. I totally recommend this product to everyone who stays outdoors most of the time.

"LOVE this product!
I have tried everything under the sun and have never seen results ever (and I'm 65) - until now. Immediately (and that's literally 1-2 days) I noticed an improvement in my skins texture, tone and reduced pore size."

High Quality Sunscreen
It is easy to rub into skin and doesn't leave a white residue. Being pregnant, it gives me peace of mind that I am using a high quality mineral sunscreen that protects my skin, is easy to use, and doesn't expose me or my baby to any extra chemicals.

"God send to the skin!
I am a 76 year old woman who grew up in a generation of sun worshipers. We used baby oil laced with iodine to deepen our tans. As you might imagine we had skin that was dark, baked, dry and leathery. Keep up with this amazing product. It is smooth, easy to apply and a God send to the skin."
