After-Sun Skincare with Terns Products
By Jill Robinson 
Getting outdoors on a sunny day feels good on your skin, but sun exposure isn’t all great for your skin. If you have an active lifestyle, whether at home or on vacation, you likely have a regular sunscreen routine. But sunscreen only goes so far to protect your skin, which endures regular UV exposure whether you’re in the car, the plane, or on the beach. I’ve been testing out products by Terns that are made to help revive your skin.
Terns Everyday
is a high-performance moisturizer designed to minimize the effects of daily exposure to UV rays and other environmental pollutants. The formula incorporates Terns’ Sirenas Complex, which targets inflammaging (a chronic inflammation that develops as you age), utilizing natural ingredients to combat daily environmental stress on the skin like UV and toxin exposure. It also contains baobab seed oil and niacinamide, which help to improve skin elasticity and improve skin barrier function, respectively.
After enjoying time outdoors, shake and apply Everyday nightly, ideally after you shower.
Sure, we all know about reapplying our sunscreen often, but we’ve all lost track of our time in the sun, and that’s when you rely on
Terns Mayday
. Its intensive formula uses an extra boost of Sirenas Complex to aid in skin barrier recovery and sooth irritation caused by too much UV exposure and other environmental aggressors. It also contains squalene, which promotes skin regeneration, reduces redness and swelling, and enhances moisture retention.
Keep Mayday on hand and use a pea-sized amount on sunburned areas every 8-12 hours for 3-4 days.
Both products are free from parabens, phthalates, silicones, sulfates, mineral oils, gluten, and synthetic fragrances. I’ve found them to be non-greasy and to absorb into my skin quickly.
Terns commits $1 from every product sale to foster and support ocean conservation, research, and education initiatives.
