Sun Care Doesn’t Stop at SPF
6 Ways To Help Your Skin Recover After the Sun
Sunscreen is a must. No question about it. It’s your skin’s daily shield—protecting you from harmful UV rays that accelerate aging and put your health at risk.
But even with SPF, your skin can still take a hit.
Long hours outside, heat, and sun exposure can leave your skin feeling dry, tight, or red by the end of the day. That’s because SPF helps defend your skin, but it doesn’t replenish what’s lost.
That’s where after-sun recovery comes in.
Here are 6 simple ways to help your skin bounce back beautifully, stay nourished, and keep its healthy glow all summer long.
1. Sunscreen Is Step One. Don’t Skip It.
Let’s start here: no recovery routine replaces good sun protection. Apply SPF daily, even on cloudy days. Reapply often. And when you can, give your skin a break with shade or a hat. Think of sunscreen as your skin’s morning armor.
2. Hydrate Like You Mean It
Heat and sun exposure can dehydrate your skin fast. If your skin feels tight or rough after being outside, that’s your cue to replenish. Reach for a gentle moisturizer with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and squalane. Our Comforting Cream is clinically proven to hydrate and calm dry skin, thanks to organic banana bio-actives and clean, nourishing botanicals.
3. Cool It, Kindly
Feeling flushed? Try a cool (not cold) bath or compress. It helps calm inflammation and ease heat-related sensitivity. For a plant-powered boost, add a few drops of soothing oil. Skip the scrubs—now’s the time to treat your skin like the sensitive organ it is.
4. Feed Your Skin Antioxidants
Even with SPF, UV exposure triggers oxidative stress, which can dull your glow and accelerate visible aging. Antioxidants are your repair crew. Our Radiance Oil is packed with Yellow Banana Bio-Actives, plus Pomegranate and Macadamia oils to help your skin recover and feel calm, radiant, and resilient again.
5. Redness? Go Green (Banana)
If your skin looks pink or feels extra warm, it needs gentle calming support. Our Nutritive Oil contains Green Banana Bio-Actives and Green Tea Oil, both known for their soothing, anti-inflammatory properties. Keep it in the fridge for a cooling effect your skin will love.
6. Handle With Extra Care
If your skin is burned or extra sensitive, less is more. Use a gentle, natural cleanser. Pat (don’t rub) dry with a soft towel. Wear loose-fitting clothes and avoid active treatments until your skin feels back to baseline. The goal is to support—not stress—your skin as it heals.
Before You Head Back Outside
Sunscreen is essential, but it’s not the end of your skincare story.
After a day in the sun, your skin still needs care—hydration, calm, and repair. These simple recovery steps help you protect the skin you’ve worked hard to care for, so it stays nourished, resilient, and radiant all summer long.
You enjoy the sunshine. We’ll help your skin love it too.
