Summer-Proof Your Skin After LED Treatments
LED treatments make your skin more sensitive to UV rays, which can easily undo all your progress if you’re not careful. With the right summer routine, you can protect your glow, prevent new pigmentation, and enjoy long-lasting results even on sunny days.
Why your skin needs extra protection after LED
After LED treatments, especially those targeting pigmentation, your skin cells are more active and vulnerable. The natural renewal process makes the skin more reactive to UV exposure, increasing the risk of new dark spots. Without proper protection, you might notice pigmentation returning or even getting worse.
Choosing the best sunscreen for your skin
Pick a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 — higher if possible. Choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic formula if you have oily or acne-prone skin, or a richer texture for dry skin. Reapply every two hours if you're outside, and remember that even on cloudy days, UV rays can damage the skin.
Protective accessories and smart habits
Beyond sunscreen, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and light clothing that covers shoulders and chest helps shield your skin. Avoid direct sun exposure during peak hours (usually 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.). If possible, seek shade when outdoors to reduce UV stress on your skin after LED treatments.
Adjusting your LED schedule in summer
During summer, you might need to reduce LED sessions slightly if you spend more time outdoors. Over-treating can make your skin more sensitive. Pay attention to how your skin reacts and consider spacing out treatments to avoid cumulative irritation.
Conclusion
Protecting your skin after LED is key to keeping your bright, even tone all summer long. With smart sun habits and a bit of planning, you can confidently enjoy the sun without compromising your hard-earned results.
