Hey, glow-getters! ✨Summer is here, and we know you’re outside soaking up the sunshine, booking beach days, and living your best bronzed life. But before you grab that iced coffee and head out—have you applied your sunscreen today?
At Coco Bella Spa, we’re all about keeping your glow healthy, hydrated, and protected. So let’s talk real quick about why sunscreen isn’t optional, why it’s good for all skin types (and all ages!), and which ones are actually worth using.
☀️ The Sun Feels Good... But It’s Not Always Your Skin’s Friend
We love a little sunshine—it lifts the mood and gives you that summer glow. But here’s the truth: UV rays are sneaky, and they can do major damage if you’re not protecting your skin daily. We’re talking:
Even on cloudy days, even if you're just running errands—those rays are still out there. And they’re aging your skin in ways you won’t notice until it’s too late.
Sunscreen is for Everyone—Even the Littles
Did you know just a few serious sunburns during childhood can double the risk of skin cancer later in life?
Kids’ skin is delicate and more vulnerable, so it’s important to make sunscreen a daily habit for the whole family. We recommend gentle mineral sunscreens for children—they’re clean, safe, and non-irritating for young skin.
Summer = High UV = More Skin Stress
Let’s keep it real—summer is fun, but it’s also harsh on the skin. Think:
Sunburns
Heat rashes
Flaky, dry skin
Eczema flare-ups
That tight, itchy, overexposed feeling
If you have sensitive skin, acne, or skin conditions like eczema or rosacea, the sun can trigger inflammation and flare-ups. That’s why using the right kind of sunscreen is so important—especially in the warmer months.
What's Coco Bella’s Favorite Sunscreens?
We only recommend what works—and what we love using ourselves in the treatment room!
This is our top pick for daily use and post-facial protection. It’s:
Lightweight & breathable
Packed with hydration
Non-greasy, non-comedogenic
Perfect for sensitive or acne-prone skin
Offers broad spectrum protection (UVA + UVB)
We use this in the spa after facials, peels, and treatments because it soothes the skin and protects it.
Made with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, mineral sunscreens sit on top of the skin and physically block the sun’s rays.
They’re best for:
Children
Sensitive skin
Eczema, rosacea, or post-procedure skin
They’re reef-safe, clean, and super gentle. No burning, no breakouts, just clean protection.
SPF Tips You’ll Thank Us For
Use a nickel-sized amount for your face
Apply 30 minutes before sun exposure
Reapply every 2 hours or after swimming/sweating
Don’t forget your neck, chest, ears, hands, and lips
YES, even on cloudy days. YES, even if you’re just sitting in the car!
Got a Facial? You NEED SPF Even More
If you’ve just had a treatment at Coco Bella—like dermaplaning, peels, or a glow facial—your skin is extra sensitive to the sun.
We always recommend applying SPF daily, but especially right after a treatment, when your skin is fresh, exfoliated, and healing. Trust us—it’s non-negotiable!

Your glow is gorgeous—protect it.
