Why Sun Protection is Key Before and After Facials

Investing in a facial is a step toward healthier, glowing skin. Keeping those results means protecting your skin daily, especially from the sun.

The Synergy Between Facials and Sun Protection

Think of facials and daily skincare, including sun protection, as a team. Facials provide deep cleansing, exfoliation, and hydration, setting the stage for your skincare products to work more effectively. Meanwhile, using sunscreen daily helps preserve the benefits of each facial session, reducing the risk of sun-induced damage and ensuring a radiant complexion for longer.

Because of this synergy, daily sun protection is a must to get the most out of your spa treatments. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, you should use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Reapply every two hours if you're spending time outdoors, and keep in mind that water and sand can reflect the damaging rays of the sun, increasing the possibility of a sunburn. 

Mineral sunscreens with ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are often recommended after facials or peels because they’re gentle and sit on the skin’s surface without causing irritation. These are especially helpful in the days immediately following a treatment that involves a recovery time.
