San Diego's Skin Challenges
We get 266 sunny days a year, low humidity, salt air near the coast, and Santa Ana winds that dry everything out. This combo means UV damage, dehydration, and a damaged moisture barrier are the top skin concerns here — even if you don't feel sunburned.
Morning Routine
Gentle cleanser — don't strip your skin. Vitamin C serum for antioxidant protection against UV and pollution. Lightweight moisturizer with hyaluronic acid to pull in moisture. SPF 30+ every single day, even if it's overcast. San Diego's UV index is high year-round.
Evening Routine
Double cleanse — oil cleanser first to remove sunscreen and makeup, then a gentle water-based cleanser. Niacinamide or retinol depending on your goals (brightening vs. anti-aging). Rich moisturizer or overnight mask to repair the moisture barrier while you sleep.
Monthly Professional Care
A monthly facial keeps everything in check — deep cleansing pores clogged by sunscreen, boosting hydration, and addressing any sun damage before it accumulates. At Full Circle Beauty, we customize every facial to San Diego skin concerns. Book yours at our Point Loma studio.
