Sun protection is about more than SPF – read here how you can strengthen your skin with
antioxidants.
We love the sun. It gives us warmth, energy and glow – but it is also one of the biggest
culprits when it comes to early signs of aging, pigment spots and loss of skin elasticity.
At SMUK skincare, we believe that skincare should be in balance with nature. And when it
When it comes to sun protection, it's not enough to just slather on sunscreen and hope for the best.
The skin's natural defenses need to be strengthened – from the inside and out – and this is where antioxidants come in.
comes into the picture.
Why antioxidants are essential in your sun care
The sun's UV rays create free radicals in the skin – unstable molecules that damage cells and collagen tissue. This triggers the aging process, causing wrinkles and sagging to become visible.
Sunscreen blocks a large portion of the rays, but cannot prevent the biological reactions that have already started.
What can antioxidants do?
Antioxidants neutralize free radicals and protect skin cells from damage. When you use antioxidants in your skincare under your SPF, you give your skin much more complete protection.
At SMUK skincare, we have developed two key products that work in depth and prepare the skin for the sun – every day.

SERUM – active defense and glow
Our serum is lightweight, fast-absorbing and packed with vitamins A, B3, C and E – some of the most well-documented antioxidants in skincare. The serum works actively to prevent sun damage, improve skin texture and provide a natural, even glow. SERUM is ideal as the first layer in your morning routine – especially during the sunny months.
OIL – nourishment, barrier and calmness
Our oil is composed of carefully selected plant oils such as rosehip seed, sea buckthorn, wild blueberry and argan oil – all rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants and with a small molecular size, so they easily penetrate the skin. OIL strengthens the skin's barrier, soothes any inflammation and binds moisture, so the skin feels silky soft and protected all day long.
It acts as a natural buffer (most oils contain natural SPF) under SPF and is perfect for skin that is easily stressed by heat and sun.
How to use them together
A simple and effective sun care routine with SMUK skincare might look like this:
1. Gently cleanse the skin in the morning with 3IN1.
2. Apply SERUM for active protection and glow. Feel free to massage it into the skin with a nice facial massage.
3. Massage in a few drops of OIL for moisture and barrier care.
4. Finish with your favorite sunscreen (SPF 30+).
5. If you are not going out to sunbathe and the weather is a bit cloudy, you can use LIGHT with SPF15.
6. Refresh with a moisture mist during the day.
Sun protection isn't just about avoiding sunburn
It's about taking responsibility for your skin – now and in the long term. By combining SPF with a skincare regimen packed with antioxidants, you empower your skin to withstand both the sun and everyday stressors.
We have created these two products with the aim of caring for the skin gently but effectively, protecting it and giving it optimal conditions – with pure active ingredients with deep respect for nature. 🌿
