Things I love… beaches, pools, and sunshine.
Things that don’t love me back… beaches, pools and most of all sunshine!
Despite the fact that my red headedness means it’s biologically my biggest adversary, I LOVE the sunshine. Knowing what I need to do to protect my skin while exposed to my favorite things, is equally as important as caring for my skin after exposure.
Did you know that skin is our largest organ? Its primary function is protecting us from external aggressors, and a very important part of that is the hydrolipidic film that our body produces to safeguard our skin. Without that layer we are not only vulnerable to bacteria, fungus, and completely defenseless to the environment but we would also look old as hell! You put sunscreen on your skin to protect it while enjoying the sun (at least I hope so!), but what are you doing to make sure you’re telling your skin thank you for keeping you safe once you get home?
Rebalancing your skins natural pH after exposure to the rollercoaster of salt and chlorine is imperative for protecting and restoring that hydrolipidic barrier. Davines North America SU is my secret weapon, meant to calm your skin and bring back balance and moisture after sun exposure. Regenerative organic certified bitter orange is the active ingredient in SU, using its antioxidant superpowers to hunt down free radicals caused by sun exposure.A great bonus is its magical scent, bright and sunny with apple & rose but still grounded thanks to a warm musk at its base. SU only makes its way into our salon once a year, and once we run out it’s a long wait to next springs replenishment. We only have a few items left so grab them while you still can!
