Sun, chlorine, wind: What active skin goes through.
The Elements Don’t Take Days Off.
You don’t usually notice what the elements are doing to your skin while you’re in the middle of enjoying them. You’re swimming. Running. Surfing. Walking. Working outside.
It’s only later — when your skin feels tight, dry or a little rough — that you notice.Three everyday things are particularly good at leaving their mark.
Sun.
The sun is part of almost every good day outside. But repeated exposure can leave skin feeling drier and, over time, contribute to visible signs of skin ageing.
You might not notice much after one afternoon at the beach. It’s the accumulation that matters. So sun protection comes first. Good aftercare comes next.
Chlorine.
A swim can leave you feeling refreshed. Your skin may feel differently. Chlorinated water can strip some of the skin’s natural oils, leaving it feeling dry or tight — particularly when you’re swimming regularly.
A quick rinse after getting out of the pool is an easy place to start. Then comes the part that’s often forgotten: putting some of that care back.
Wind.
Wind is probably the one you think about least.
A cool, windy day doesn’t feel as harsh as strong summer sun, but the constant movement of air can increase moisture loss from the skin’s surface.
It’s why your face and hands can feel surprisingly dry after a long day outside, even when it wasn’t particularly hot.
What they have in common.
Sun, chlorine and wind are very different things. But they can all leave skin asking for the same thing: a little help getting back to feeling comfortable, moisturised and cared for.
That’s where barrier care comes in. Body Care combines hemp seed oil, Centella Asiatica and niacinamide in a considered formula designed to moisturise skin, soothe the feeling of dryness and support the skin barrier.
Because being active outside shouldn’t mean ignoring what happens afterwards.
Enjoy the sun. Take the swim. Stay out in the wind.
Then give your skin a little care when you get home.
