UV Undoes Progress
Southern California sun is relentless — even Irvine office commutes and windshield time accumulate exposure. UV breaks collagen, worsens pigment, and extends redness after resurfacing. Every treatment plan at Aurevia includes SPF compliance.
Post-peel and post-laser skin is especially vulnerable to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Missing sunscreen for one weekend can reverse weeks of brightening progress.
Choosing a Formula
We prefer broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher. Mineral filters (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) suit post-procedure and sensitive skin. Lightweight fluid textures improve compliance for oily or acne-prone patients.
Reapply every two hours with outdoor activity. Hats and shade complement — but do not replace — topical protection.
Make It a Habit
Apply SPF as the last step of your morning routine, after moisturizer. Keep a tube in your bag for reapplication. Treat SPF like brushing teeth — automatic, not optional.
