Sun exposure is a natural part of life, but protecting and supporting the skin properly can make a big difference in how it responds. If sunburn does occur, certain products may help support the skin’s natural healing and repair process. For example, Sore to Soar is often used to help soothe and support skin recovery, while RejuvAllure can provide additional support for irritated or sunburned skin.

When it comes to sun protection, not all sunscreens are created equal. Many conventional sunscreens are chemical-based, meaning they create a chemical layer that absorbs UV rays before they penetrate the skin. However, these chemical ingredients are also rapidly absorbed into the body. Mineral sunscreens work differently. They typically use ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to sit on the surface of the skin and physically reflect UV rays away from the body. Between the two, zinc oxide is often preferred because it does not contribute to the formation of free radicals in the body, whereas titanium dioxide may increase free radical formation and contribute to oxidative stress.
