Sun-Safe & Stunning: Your Summer Skincare Plan Using Medical-Grade Essentials That We Love
The sun is shining and the weather is perfection - You have beach days and glowing skin. Or, is it more ‘crispy toast’ and less ‘radiant beach goddess?’ The worst.
The key to glowing summer skin sans the damage? A summer skincare plan that protects, nourishes, and keeps you looking fresh all season long. Enter: Medical-grade essentials. These powerhouse products don’t just sit pretty on your skin - They actually work. Let’s break down exactly what your skin needs to stay sun-safe and stunning.
SPF: Your Skin’s Best Friend (But, Seriously)
If there’s one non-negotiable summer skincare regime we recommend at Bonita, it’s SPF. Medical-grade sunscreens go beyond your average drugstore pick by offering broad-spectrum protection with added skin benefits. Look for formulas with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for a physical barrier that blocks both UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays. Bonus points if they have added antioxidants (more on that in a minute).
Pro Tip: Reapply every two hours, especially if you're sweating or swimming. And yes, even on cloudy days - UV rays don’t take a vacation just because the sun is hiding.
Antioxidants: Your Sun Damage Shield
Think of antioxidants as your skin’s bodyguards. They neutralize free radicals (those sneaky molecules that speed up aging and cause sun damage) before they can wreak havoc. Medical-grade serums packed with Vitamin C, E, and ferulic acid not only brighten your complexion but also boost your SPF’s effectiveness.
Your Summer MVPs:
ZO® Recovery Crème Vitamin C Serum: Brightens, evens skin tone, and fights UV-induced damage.
ZO® Exfoliation Accelerator with Green Tea Extract: Calms inflammation and protects against environmental stressors.
ZO® Brightalive® with Niacinamide: Strengthens the skin barrier and keeps redness at bay.
Post-Treatment Care: TLC for Sun-Kissed Skin
Whether you’ve indulged in a laser treatment, chemical peel, or microneedling session, summer skin needs extra love. Medical-grade post-treatment balms, gentle cleansers, and ultra-hydrating serums help speed up healing and keep irritation under control.
Recovery Must-Haves:
Alumier AHA Renewal Serum: Deep hydration without clogging pores.
Alumier Recovery Balm: Think aloe, ceramides, and peptides to calm and repair.
ZO® Gentle Cleanser Gentle Enzyme Exfoliants Enzyme Exfoliants: Skip harsh scrubs—opt for enzyme-based exfoliants to keep skin smooth without irritation.
