Pigmentation & Dark Spots – Even with good SPF, UV exposure can deepen freckles, sun spots, or uneven pigment.
Dehydration & Barrier Stress – Heat, wind, salt water, repeated cleansing, and sun can dry skin out and compromise the barrier.
Breakouts & Congestion – Sunscreens and sweat clog pores; travel and humidity can worsen oil imbalance.
Dullness & Loss of Firmness – Antioxidant stores get depleted; collagen breakdown accelerates with UV.
Routine Disruption – Many reduce active treatments (like retinoids, acids) in summer; this can slow down renewal.
