If you deal with dark spots, melasma, or uneven tone, sunscreen matters way more than just preventing a sunburn. The tricky part is that pigmentation can get worse even when you don’t actually burn. UV exposure, heat, inflammation, and for some people, even visible light can all play a role in m

This is one of those summer hair tips I wish I knew sooner. Hair is porous, which means it can absorb water. When your hair is completely dry before getting in the pool, it has more room to soak up pool water. Pool water + chlorine can make the outer layer of the hair, called the cuticle, fee

Summer hair tips are always aimed at blondes, but brunette hair needs protection too. Brunette hair can still look dull, dry, brassy, reddish, faded, or flat in the summer — especially from chlorine, UV exposure, sweat, hard water, sunscreen buildup, and over-washing. A few things that can af

Everyone says to wear sunscreen, but I feel like most of us were never actually taught how it works. Sunscreen does not block 100% of the sun’s rays. It helps protect your skin, but it’s not a magic shield. UVB rays are the ones most connected to sunburn. UVA rays are sneakier because they’re

Most people blame chlorine for dry pool day skin… but it’s usually the combo of chlorine + UV exposure + sweat + hot showers + skipping moisturizer that leaves your skin feeling tight, irritated, and more prone to breakouts. Having a few simple products on hand can make a big difference. ✨ Be
