How to Reverse Sun Damage and Prevent Premature Aging in Florida's Heat

When it comes to slowing and reducing the process of aging for our skin, prevention is key. Sun damage prevention is even more important. If you’re unsure of the steps to take on a daily basis to prevent sun damage, you’re in the right place. Today, we’re discussing how to prevent sun damage, how to repair skin after sun damage, and which treatments help reverse the visible signs of aging caused by sun damage. 

Prioritize SPF to Prevent Sun Damage

Your best defense in preventing sun damage is always, always going to be the consistent use of a high-quality sunscreen. These are Our Favorite Alastin Sunscreens. Using sunscreen daily helps protect our skin from exposures to the sun that we don’t think about, like an afternoon walk through the neighborhood, or your morning commute in the car with sun beaming through your windshield. These exposures add up over time, contributing to sun damage far more often than we give credit for. Don’t save the sunscreen only for vacation and the pool day! Making it a part of your daily routine will pay dividends in the long run. Make sure to reapply sunscreen throughout the day to ensure you’re protected all day. 

Use Vitamin C to Repair Sun Damage

Even for the most sun-conscious of us all, some sun damage is inevitable. The good news is that there are a number of great skincare products that we love to recommend that can help to repair the skin and fight sun damage. One of the heavy hitters? Vitamin C! Incorporating a great Vitamin C serum into your routine with consistency is one of the simplest ways to repair sun damage with the power of antioxidants. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals that are created by overexposure to the sun, which causes premature aging. 

Prevent Premature Aging with Spa Treatments to Reverse Sun Damage

Last but not least, we always recommend reinforcing your “at home” skincare steps with regular in-spa facial treatments that pack a bit more of a punch when it comes to sun damage repair. Your specific skin and the amount of sun damage to be addressed will dictate which treatments we recommend and how often. One of the easiest ways to keep your spa treatments in your self-care routine is through our Beauty Bank Membership! With this membership, your monthly contributions accumulate in your personal beauty bank, giving you the freedom to spend on a wide range of our premium services when your appointment time comes.
