Sun, Salt, and Skin: Skincare Tips for Ocean-Loving Women

Sun, Salt, and Skin: Skincare Tips for Ocean-Loving Women

If your happy place is somewhere between the reef and the shoreline, you know your skin takes a beating—sun, salt, wind, and sand can dehydrate and damage if you’re not prepared. Here’s how to care for your skin while living your best ocean-loving life.

1. Protect First, Always

Use a high-zinc, reef-safe sunscreen with broad-spectrum SPF 30+. But don’t rely on sunscreen alone—UPF swimwear is your best friend. Our long sleeve one piece suits are made with UPF 50+ fabric that keeps your shoulders and back protected without constantly reapplying lotion.

2. Hydrate from Within

The sun and salt pull moisture from your skin. Coconut water, cucumber juice, and omega-3-rich foods like chia and flax help nourish your skin from the inside.

3. Rinse After Every Swim

Saltwater can be healing, but it’s also drying. Always rinse off after a session and apply a lightweight body oil or lotion while your skin is still damp.

4. Exfoliate Gently

Use a natural scrub 1–2 times per week to clear dead skin and keep your glow. Avoid harsh scrubs—your skin’s already doing a lot out there.

5. Keep Your Products Simple

Avoid fragrances and harsh chemicals. Stick with aloe, jojoba, shea, and reef-safe, natural products.


Bonus Tip: Our UPF suits double as rash guards—protecting your skin while keeping you stylish in and out of the water.
