How to ease your skin back into sunlight after winter

The trees are blossoming, the days are getting longer, and the gentle warmth of spring fills the air. After a long winter indoors, the sunshine feels like medicine — and it is. Natural sunlight supports vitamin D production, boosts our mood, and helps regulate our sleep cycles. But just like with anything good, it’s all about balance — especially during the first days of spring. After months of low sun exposure, our skin hasn't yet built up its natural defenses, like melanin. That’s why even mild sun can catch us off guard this time of year. A short walk or some garden time can result in redness, irritation, or longer-term sensitivity if we overdo it too soon.
Support your skin’s natural sun resilience
Spring sunburns aren’t a myth — but the goal here isn’t to avoid the sun. The goal is to enjoy it safely, while helping your skin gradually strengthen its natural resistance. Your skin is designed to adapt, and melanin production is part of that beautiful process.
Our natural, mineral sunscreens are here to support your skin, not block nature out. They offer gentle protection that lets you spend time outdoors while giving your skin the space to adjust. Think of them as training wheels for your skin’s springtime comeback.
Here’s what overexposure early in the season can lead to — and why gentle, early protection matters:
Pigmentation issues: Uneven sun exposure when your melanin is still low can cause spots or blotchiness.
Redness and sensitivity: Skin can get inflamed from even short exposure when it’s not yet used to the sun.
Premature aging: UV light affects collagen and elastin over time, even when it’s not hot out.
Barrier stress: Without support, your skin may feel tight, dry, or reactive to other products.
None of this is about fear — it’s about working with your skin’s natural rhythm, not against it.
Why we use zinc — and nothing else
Not all sunscreens are created equal. Many conventional sunscreens use chemical UV filters that absorb into your skin and may cause irritation or hormonal disruption. We do things differently.
We use non-nano zinc oxide, a mineral that sits on top of the skin and reflects the sun’s rays — a gentle, non-invasive way to help your skin ease back into sunshine while it builds up its natural melanin protection.
