How to Soothe & Protect Sun-Damaged Skin After a Day in the Sunshine Coast Sun
Whether you're spending the day on Main Beach or exploring the coastal walks of Noosa National Park, your skin is often the first to show signs of too much sun. And while we all love that Noosa glow, unprotected sun exposure can quickly lead to dryness, redness, and long-term sun damage.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through simple, effective steps to care for your skin after sun exposure – including product recommendations for treating sun-damaged skin in Noosa, and where to find the best SPF protection in Noosa.
Step 1: Gently Cleanse Away Sweat, Salt & Sunscreen
After a beach day, it’s important to remove sweat, saltwater, and SPF without stripping your skin.
Top pick: Biopelle Tensage Gentle Gel Cleanser – perfect for sensitised skin and post-sun exposure. It calms, soothes and deeply cleanses without harshness.
Step 2: Rehydrate & Cool the Skin
The sun can leave your skin feeling tight and parched. Reach for ingredients like aloe vera, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid to calm and replenish.
Try:
-
Environ Skin EssentiA Moisturising Toner – works like a hydrating serum to restore moisture and rebalance sun-stressed skin.
-
Saya Rose Hydrating Mist – a refreshing mist with aloe, rose and kakadu plum that delivers an instant hydration boost (great post-cleansing or kept in your beach bag!).
Step 3: Repair with Antioxidants
Free radical damage from UV exposure can age the skin prematurely. Combat this with antioxidant-rich serums.
Studio Favourites:
-
Biopelle Antioxidant CE Plus Serum – packed with Vitamins C & E to neutralise damage and brighten sun-affected skin.
-
Environ Vita-Enriched Coloustrum Gel – helps to protect and restore sensitive, stressed skin, leaving it feeling soothed and comforted.
Step 4: Soothe Redness & Sensitivity
If your skin feels hot or looks red after sun exposure, calming ingredients are key.
We recommend:
-
Regen Ceutic – Designed to soothe and protect the skin after trauma, features 3% Hyaluronic Acid, which deeply hydrates the skin, improving its firmness and elasticity.
-
LED Light Therapy at Noosa Skin Studio – clinically proven to reduce inflammation and support healing.
Step 5: Don’t Skip the SPF – Even After the Beach
Reapplying SPF after a beach day is just as important as applying it beforehand. The best SPF is the one you’ll actually use daily!
-
K Ceutic SPF 50 – loved by locals for its lightweight texture and strong protection against UVA/UVB rays
