How To Keep Your Skin & Hair Healthy On The Ocean
How Summer Affects Your Skin and Hair
Before diving into the solution, it’s important to understand the main culprits behind summer’s impact on your skin and hair. Knowing what you’re up against will make it easier to protect yourself and make the most of those long, sunny days.
Humidity
Humidity is a major factor in the summer months, especially in warmer climates. Increased moisture in the air can lead to excessive sweating, clogged pores, and oily skin. On top of that, hair (especially curly hair) is more prone to frizz as the moisture causes strands to expand.
Sun Exposure
The sun feels amazing, but prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause long-term damage to both your skin and hair. Without protection, UV rays can lead to sunburns, wrinkles, dark spots, and premature aging of the skin. For hair, the sun can dry out strands, leaving them brittle and prone to breakage.
Environmental Stressors
Pollution levels tend to increase during the summer months as people spend more time outdoors. Dust, debris, and other environmental stressors can clog your pores and strip your hair of its natural oils, making them more vulnerable to damage.
Saltwater and Chlorine
Swimming is a great way to cool off in the summer, but both saltwater and chlorine can strip your skin and hair of moisture. Saltwater absorbs moisture, leaving skin and hair dehydrated, while chlorine strips away the natural oils that protect them.
Air Conditioning
While air conditioning provides much-needed relief from the summer heat, it can also remove moisture from the air, leaving your skin and hair dry, frizzy, and dull. Long-term exposure to A/C can result in brittle hair and flaky skin, both of which can lead to premature aging.
Summer Essentials for Head-to-Toe Protection
Now that we know the culprits behind summer’s beauty challenges, it’s time to arm yourself with the right products. Here’s a complete guide to Sail Clean’s clean-label summer essentials that will keep you glowing from head to toe.
Sail Clean’s Summer Essentials for Body Care
Sunless Tanning Foam
Want that sun-kissed glow without the harmful effects of UV rays? Sail Clean’s Sunless Tanning Foam is your answer. Instead of spending hours in the sun exposing your skin to damage, this lightweight, streak-free tanning foam works with your skin’s proteins to develop a natural, bronze color in as little as 4 to 8 hours.
