As summer heats up, we enjoy the outdoors more by soaking up the sun's warmth and enjoying the longer days. While the sun provides essential vitamin D, it also can damage our hair and skin.
The intense UV rays, high temperatures, and increased humidity can lead to premature aging, dryness, and damage. Luckily, there are simple ways to support our hair and skin to maintain our youthful glow.
The Sun and Your Skin
The sun offers many benefits like regulating our sleep and nourishing our skin and body with essential vitamin D, but prolonged exposure to UV rays can accelerate skin aging.*†
Here’s how:
- Sunburns: Sunburned skin uses white blood cells from your immune system to heal, which may impact the body’s ability to fight off invaders.*†
- Accelerated Aging: Too much sun doesn’t only cause sunburns, it can also lead to premature aging and other things like wrinkles, leathery skin, and dark spots.*†
Summer Hair Woes
Sunscreen is great to help protect our skin from harmful sun rays, but what can we do to protect our hair? Here’s what happens when we leave our hair unprotected:
- “Straw” Hair: Leaving your hair exposed to the sun can result in dryer, frizzier, and more brittle hair. This can lead to breakage and split ends.*†
- Premature Graying: The UV rays can have similar effects on the hair as bleach, causing the hair to lighten over time.*†
Common Protective Measures to Guard Against Blazing Sun Rays
- Wear a Hat: Protect your hair from direct sun exposure.
- Leave-in Conditioners: Use products with UV protection.
- Limit Suntime: Reduce exposure to the sun, and avoid the hottest hours typically between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
