As the winter season rolls in and the cozy sweaters come out, sunscreen often gets tucked away. It's a common misconception that the colder months give us a pass on sunscreen. During the cooler months, UV rays will pierce through the atmosphere and wreak havoc on your delicate complexion, just like they do in the summer. Ahead, learn why sunscreen is an absolute must-have in the wintertime.

As winter descends, the combination of cold air outside and heated air inside can wreak complete havoc on our skin. While many of us are familiar with the common practices of moisturizing regularly and drinking plenty of water, there are several lesser-known skincare tips that can help keep our skin radiant and healthy during the chilly months.

The sun: the catalyst for life as we know it. Its importance transcends its illuminating presence in our day-to-day lives. Without the sun, our world would be devoid of life, warmth, and the rhythms that have shaped our existence. However, along with its life-sustaining properties, the sun emits ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can have detrimental effects on our skin and overall health.

The allure of a sun-kissed glow is undeniable. It adds a sense of vitality, radiance, and that coveted "just-back-from-vacation" appearance. If you're going out of your way to apply a sunless tanner, it likely means you enjoy being tan, which also likely means you want your sunless tan to last as long as possible, right? Ahead, we'll discuss a few tricks of the trade that have helped our golden, radiant faux tans (courtesy of our award-winning Sunless Tanning Mist) last up to a week longer, with a special focus on an often-overlooked ingredient: erythrulose. Let's get to it.

From its inception as a rudimentary sunblock in the early 20th century to the high-tech, multi-purpose products available today, to say sunscreen has evolved dramatically would be an understatement. Let's take a look back at the winding trajectory of sunscreen throughout history.

You already know that sunscreen is your trusty shield against the sun's harmful rays. But what if I told you that there's another layer of protection that you might be overlooking, one that can be a game-changer in maintaining radiant, youthful skin? Enter antioxidants – the unsung heroes of sun protection.

Aging is a natural part of life, and as we enter our 50s and beyond, our skin may require extra care and attention. By now, it should be no secret that one of the most significant factors that can accelerate the aging process of our skin is sun exposure. However, with the right skin and sun care practices, we have the power to age gracefully and maintain healthy, radiant skin.

We are absolutely elated to announce our partnership with the one and only Rande Gerber - serial entrepreneur and founder of Casamigos Tequila.   How did Rande first become acquainted with our brand? As luck would have it, Gerber discovered Hampton Sun during his stay at the Four Seasons in Miami with his wife, Cindy Crawford.

For several years, we have wanted to offer our customers a mineral sunscreen mist that is everything a mineral sunscreen typically isn't: lightweight, sheer, and blendable. Formulating a mineral sunscreen spray that is all of the above presents its own unique set of challenges, but, thanks to Solstice Technology and our well-versed chemists, we have made the seemingly impossible possible. Introducing our new SPF 50 Mineral Mist! 

Hyaluronic acid is one of the most essential ingredients in many skincare products, and for good reason. This powerful natural compound has been used to treat a variety of skin conditions for centuries and is increasingly important as we age. Hyaluronic acid can help reduce wrinkles and keep your skin looking youthful. Here’s what you need to know about this amazing ingredient.

The sun is a wonderful and powerful source of energy, but it can also be dangerous. Excessive exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause skin damage, which raises the risk of developing melanoma—a type of cancer that begins in cells known as melanocytes.

We at Hampton Sun love winter and all of the joyous things that come along with it: the holidays, skiing, visiting family, going on vacation, getting some much needed rest. What we don't love about winter is how it can make our skin feel and look. Freezing temperatures and brisk winds call for tight, dry, flaky skin that is reactive and difficult to manage. Simply put, dealing with winter skin can sometimes feel like a never-ending battle that we're bound to lose.Over several decades of working in the skin care industry, we've tested out hundreds of "winter skin tips" and stand here today with only a select few that have stood test of time and actually make a difference.

Being long-time admirers of the Gerber/Crawford family, this news means that much more to us!
