Brows & Sun: How to Protect Your Eyebrows in Summer

The sun is high, temperatures are rising and you're making the most of every summer day. But did you know that the sun also affects your eyebrows? Whether you've just had a brow treatment or you simply do your brows daily with B'KATE products — in summer, your brows deserve a little extra care.

What does the sun do to your brows?

UV radiation can dry out and fade your brow hairs. Dark brows can lighten with prolonged sun exposure, and coloured treatments (like brow henna or tinting) can fade faster. The skin beneath your brows can also dry out, which isn't great for hair growth.

Summer brow tips

• Apply SPF around your brows too. Gently apply sunscreen over and around your brows. This protects both the skin and the hairs.
• Go for waterproof formulas. In summer you sweat more and come into contact with water more often. The B'KATE Fine Liner Pencil and Pro Brow Powder Pencil are built to last through a day at the beach or on a terrace.
• Set everything with Brow Gel. The B'KATE Brow Gel (clear) keeps your brows in place even in the heat. A summer must-have!
• Hydrate your skin. Well-hydrated skin means healthier hair growth. Use a light moisturiser around the brow area too.

After a day in the sun

Always remove your make-up thoroughly at the end of the day, even in summer. Use a gentle micellar water or cleansing oil and be careful around the brow area. This keeps the hairs healthy and ready for the next day.

Summer-ready brows start with the right products. Discover the B'KATE collection and keep your brows looking perfect all summer long.
