As winter ends and the weather warms up, it's a joyful feeling to know that spring has arrived. However, it's also a season when UV radiation strengthens without us realizing it.

If you think, "The sun isn't that strong yet, it'll be fine," you might find that UV damage progresses without you noticing.

 

✔ Spring UV radiation can be as strong as in summer on some days ✔ Continuous exposure of skin and hair to UV rays can cause spots, dullness, and dryness ✔ The sooner you start preventive care, the more damage you can prevent

 

This time, we'll introduce skin and hair care tips you should do in spring before UV radiation gets stronger.

By incorporating just a few habits, you can maintain skin and hair that are less susceptible to damage, even in summer.

Why Spring UV Radiation is Dangerous

✔ UV radiation rapidly increases from March (UV-A roughly doubles compared to winter) ✔ "Hidden damage" gradually accumulates in skin and hair ✔ UV damage can lead to dryness, dullness, and sagging

 

In particular, spring UV radiation contains a lot of "UV-A," which penetrates deep into the skin and can damage collagen.

This UV damage affects spots, wrinkles, and sagging years later, so it's important to take action now rather than thinking "it's fine for now."

Basic UV Protection! Spring Skincare

① Apply sunscreen thoroughly from spring

✔ Change from "not applying in winter" to "applying daily" in spring ✔ Choose products with SPF30・PA+++ or higher (SPF30 is sufficient for daily use) ✔ Apply thoroughly not only to your face but also to your neck, ears, and the backs of your hands

 

Sunscreen can dry out the skin, so it's also important to moisturize thoroughly.

② Enhance "barrier function" with morning skincare

To prevent UV damage, strengthening the skin's barrier function is key.

When the barrier function is intact, the skin becomes less susceptible to UV effects.

✔ Wash your face "gently" (no harsh rubbing; wash by enveloping with foam) ✔ Focus on "moisture + oil" in skincare (toner + oil to strengthen barrier) ✔ Add oil to your morning skincare routine (prevents dryness and improves sunscreen adhesion)

 

Applying one drop of SAKI Oil Serum after toner locks in skin moisture while supporting the barrier function.

This makes it easier to prevent dryness caused by UV damage.

Spring Hair Care to Prevent UV Damage

Exposure to UV rays can damage hair cuticles, leading to dryness, split ends, and color fading.

Hair is particularly susceptible to UV exposure more than the face, so it's important to take proper measures in spring.

① Reconsider your shampoo to gently protect hair and scalp

✔ Shampoos with strong cleansing power are not recommended (can cause dryness) ✔ Choose an amino acid-based shampoo that is gentle on hair and scalp ✔ After shampooing, moisturize thoroughly to prevent damage

 

CHANT's All-in-One Shampoo Bar is mildly acidic and amino acid-based, allowing you to wash your hair and scalp without stress.

It lathers well and rinses quickly, making it ideal for busy mornings or evening routines.

② Utilize UV-protective hair oil & hats

✔ Apply a small amount of hair oil before going out (prevents UV damage) ✔ Use a hat or parasol to avoid direct UV exposure ✔ Maintain hair moisture with leave-in treatment

 

SAKI Oil Serum is an oil that adds shine to hair while reducing UV damage.

Its light texture provides a natural finish without stickiness.

Incorporate Foods That Prevent UV Damage

It's also possible to prevent UV damage to your skin and hair through the power of food.

By consciously incorporating antioxidant-rich ingredients, you can build a body that is less prone to sunburn.

✔ Vitamin C (citrus fruits, kiwi, bell peppers) → Prevents spots and dullness ✔ Vitamin E (avocado, nuts, olive oil) → Prevents skin oxidation ✔ Lycopene (tomatoes, watermelon) → Alleviates UV damage

Summary: Prepare Thoroughly Before UV Radiation Strengthens

Spring UV radiation can damage your skin and hair without you noticing if you're not careful.

Take proper measures now to maintain healthy skin and hair for summer.

✔ Apply sunscreen thoroughly from spring (to face, neck, and backs of hands) ✔ Skincare to enhance barrier function (avoid over-washing & prioritize moisturizing) ✔ Don't forget hair UV protection (care with CHANT's All-in-One Shampoo Bar & SAKI Oil Serum) ✔ Prevent UV damage with diet (focus on vitamins C, E, and lycopene)
