That coveted summertime glow? Well, sometimes it comes with a side of sunburn, razor burn, and excess shine. While warmer temps, vacations, and outdoor adventures can make summertime the best time, they can also spell trouble for your skin. Certain skin concerns tend to surface in these warmer months, especially on our bodies, that may call for more hydrating ingredients and nourishing skincare. Discover clean, effective ways to hydrate and nurture your skin during the sunny season.
Drink Plenty of Water
That lit-from-within glow starts from…within. Sun exposure can lead to dehydration, which can impact your skin's health. Drink plenty of water—with electrolytes if needed—to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out. If you need to cool down, take a cold shower or try applying something cool to your body (pro tip: store your Gua Sha Sculptor in the fridge and give yourself a refreshing full-body massage when you're feeling overheated).
Wear Sunscreen (Even on Cloudy Days)
Shield your skin with an SPF of 30 or higher. Apply it to all exposed skin areas before going outside and reapply every two hours, or more frequently if you’re sweating or swimming. Our founder, Jenefer, is a big fan of sun-protective clothing like long-sleeved shirts, wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses with UV protection.
After-Sun Skincare
Long days in the sun can lead to dryness, dullness, and dehydration. The best way to care for sun-soaked skin is by nourishing it with deeply hydrating body care products. After taking a lukewarm bath or shower, apply our Hyaluronic Body Serum to slightly damp or dry skin. This lightweight, fast-absorbing serum is clinically proven to instantly increase hydration by 161%.* Five molecular weights of hyaluronic acid provide multi-surface layer hydration to the epidermis, while soothing aloe delivers an immediate boost in hydration and improves the skin's moisture barrier. Our ultra-hydrating daily treatment provides 24 hours of non-stop hydration,* making it the ideal product to hydrate your skin after a day in the sun.
Follow your body serum with a layer of our Undaria Algae™ Body Lotion from neck to toes to maximize your results and nourish sun-soaked skin. The featherweight texture sinks into your skin faster than you can say, “Wow, my skin feels incredible!” Undaria Algae™ Body Lotion is also clinically proven to instantly increase hydration and visibly firm skin in just 4 hours.* (Wow, indeed!). Hyaluronic acid drenches the driest layers of skin in hydration, while Undaria seaweed helps to replenish the skin’s moisture barrier.

Post-Shave Skincare
Summer dresses and bikini lines may mean you choose to shave more than usual, and with that can come ingrown hairs and razor bumps. Exfoliate your body regularly with Undaria Cleansing Body Polish to buff away dead skin and use a sharp razor blade to help prevent ingrown hairs and razor bumps from appearing post-shave. After shaving, apply a generous layer of Hyaluronic Body Serum to boost your skin’s hydration, seal in moisture and prevent your skin from drying out. Our body serum is also loaded with hydrating aloe and smoothing niacinamide (vitamin B3) along with vegan peptides and green microalgae, to moisturize, nourish, and plump skin. Hyaluronic Body Serum absorbs quickly, without any sticky residue, making post-shave skin feel extra soft and smooth./p>
