The sun is a beautiful force—energising, uplifting, and essential to life. But too much of a good thing can take a toll, especially on our skin. At Pure Earth, we believe in finding balance with nature—and that includes learning how to protect and nourish our skin while enjoying the outdoors.
What Is Sun Damage, Really?
When UV rays from the sun reach your skin, they don’t just give you a tan. They go deeper—damaging your skin cells, breaking down collagen, and disrupting your skin’s natural barrier.
Over time, this can lead to wrinkles, pigmentation, dullness, and irritation. In fact, studies show that up to 80% of visible aging is linked to sun exposure.
But here’s the good news: most of it is preventable.
Your Natural Defence Squad: Antioxidants & Nourishment
While sunscreen is your front-line defence, what you put on your skin every day matters too. That’s where antioxidant-rich skincare comes in. Ingredients like Kakadu Plum (rich in natural Vitamin C), essential fatty acids, and native botanical oils help:
- Soothe and repair sun-stressed skin
- Support the skin barrier, keeping moisture in and irritants out
- Neutralise free radicals, the unstable molecules that cause aging and inflammation
Our Pure Kakadu Plum Facial Oil, for example, is rich in Omega 6 and 9—powerful fatty acids that nourish deeply and help calm redness or sensitivity from sun exposure. It works in harmony with your skin to restore balance and resilience.
Smart Sun Habits for Glowing Skin
You don’t have to hide indoors. Just be smart with your sunshine:
- Wear SPF daily (even on cloudy days!)
- Avoid the harsh midday sun
- Nourish your skin with barrier-loving ingredients
- Feed your body antioxidant-rich foods like berries, leafy greens, and seeds
- Get plenty of sleep, movement, and hydration to keep your skin strong and supple
