Your Post-Beach Beauty Routine: Esthetician-Approved Tips
There’s nothing like a day at the beach—sunshine, sea breeze, and sandy toes. But while the ocean air may soothe your soul, it can be a little less kind to your skin and brows. Salt, UV rays, wind, and sunscreen buildup can leave your skin dehydrated and your brows in need of TLC.
To help you reset and glow post-beach, here’s your esthetician-approved beauty routine:
1. Double Cleanse—Gently
After a day in the sun, your skin needs a thorough (but gentle) cleanse. Start with an oil-based cleanser to melt away sunscreen and excess oil, followed by a gentle water-based cleanser to remove sweat, sand, and impurities. This helps prevent breakouts and lets your skin breathe again.
Pro Tip: Don’t forget your brows—cleansing the area helps remove sunscreen and debris that can clog hair follicles and slow growth.
2. Soothe and Hydrate
Saltwater and sun can strip your skin of moisture. Reach for a calming toner with aloe vera or rosewater to balance your pH, then follow with a hydrating serum packed with hyaluronic acid. Lock it all in with a lightweight moisturizer.
Avoid harsh actives like retinol or AHAs for at least 24 hours post-sun. Give your skin a chance to recover naturally.
3. Revive Your Brows
Your brows took in just as much sun and salt as your skin. Gently brush them out and apply a nourishing oil (like our Brow Radiant) to hydrate the hair and skin underneath. Rich in castor oil, amla, and plant-based nutrients, it promotes healthy growth and shine—especially after sun exposure.
4. Skip Makeup—Let Your Skin Breathe
If you’re going out later, opt for minimal coverage like a tinted SPF or skin tint. Letting your skin rest after UV exposure can help prevent irritation and inflammation.
5. Hydrate from the Inside Out
Replenish lost moisture by drinking lots of water and snacking on hydrating fruits like watermelon, cucumber, and berries. Your skin will thank you tomorrow.
Bonus: Protect for Next Time
Post-beach care is essential, but prevention is even better. Apply mineral SPF before your next beach trip, wear a wide-brim hat, and toss a hydrating mist in your beach bag to refresh on the go.
A beach day is the ultimate reset for your soul—but your beauty routine deserves one too. With the right post-sun ritual, you’ll keep that vacation glow going while protecting your skin and brows for the long run.
