The sun on your skin. A light breeze through your hair. Everyone seems a little brighter, and the days feel longer and lighter. Summer does something to you — and to your skin.
What’s less visible, but just as important: UV radiation is responsible for up to 90% of skin aging. Dermatologist Dr. Shereene Idriss confirmed this during the Skin Health MasterClass. Not stress, not genes — sunlight is the biggest culprit. And that’s the reason to take sun protection seriously every single day.
Why we care so much
At Dore, it’s all about gentle care with a purpose. Our formulas with antioxidants — including rooibos — help calm, repair, and support your skin’s natural barrier. But let’s be honest: without sunscreen, your skin is vulnerable. No matter how carefully you care for it, without protection you’re still exposing it to the leading cause of premature aging: UV radiation.
Daily sunscreen use fits seamlessly with our preventive skincare philosophy. We believe in caring before problems arise. Prevention beats correction — especially for your skin. Sun protection is essential to help prevent wrinkles, dark spots, and loss of elasticity.
So we say: make sun protection a natural part of your routine. Choose a sunscreen that suits your skin type and lifestyle — it makes daily use much easier.
SPF, without the fuss
Still unsure? Here are the basics to help your skin, minus the complication:
-
Use a sunscreen that matches your skin type and lifestyle: e.g., a hydrating formula for dry skin, or an oil-free gel texture for oily skin.
-
Water-resistant is always a smart choice if you exercise outdoors or swim.
-
For face and neck: ½ teaspoon is enough. For the body: about 6 teaspoons.
-
Apply every morning, and reapply every 2 hours if you’re outdoors a lot, sweating, or swimming.
And Dore? We’ve got you.
Our Essentials line has everything your skin needs this summer: a gentle cleanser, a lightweight day cream, and a soothing toner. Add the sunscreen of your choice and you’re summer-ready — protected and cared for.
Our rooibos-powered formulas deliver an extra antioxidant boost to help your skin recover after a day in the sun.
In the end
Feeling the sun on your skin is one of the joys of summer. Protecting your skin is an act of love. Or, as Dr. Idriss says: “Wear the damn sunscreen.”
