Summer is just around the corner and so are longer, sunnier days and strong (potentially damaging) UV rays. Before you hit the beach this season, pack your bags with these Aveda summer essentials so you can enjoy your fun in the sun while maintaining a glowing, sun-kissed complexion and healthy hair.

Did you know?

UVA and UVB rays can damage the outside cover of the hair strand, called the cuticle.

Sun damage causes discoloration, dry and brittle strands, broken or split ends, thinning and frizziness.

Fine or light-colored hair lacks pigment that protects the strands from the sun’s rays, making this hair type more vulnerable.

Sun exposure can cause skin damage such as freckles, fine and coarse wrinkles, discolored patches of the skin, and the deconstruction of collagen and elastic tissue.

Sun exposure can decrease the skin’s immune system and increase chances of skin cancer.
