Terns Launches After-Sun Products for San Diego’s Outdoor Lifestyle

We’ve all been there—that post-beach burn that has us reaching for the aloe. But what if we told you the ocean itself holds the key to next-level sun recovery? Enter Terns, the new kid on the block in the world of science-backed health and performance.

They’re making a splash with two after-sun care products that are about to change the game for us sun-loving San Diegans.

From Sea to Skin: The Science Behind the Soothe

Terns isn’t just slapping some seaweed on a label and calling it a day. These folks have done their homework, tapping into the superpowers of shallow reef and intertidal zone organisms.

Terns was founded by San Diego resident Ed Esquenazi (he is also the founder and CEO of Sirenas), whose cancer diagnosis 20 years ago catapulted his interest in understanding the chemistry produced by marine organisms and applying it to human health.

These little marine marvels have been soaking up intense UV rays for millions of years, evolving to produce some seriously impressive sun-fighting compounds.

The result? Everyday and Mayday—two powerhouse products that don’t just cool you down, they tackle inflammation at its core.

We’re talking boosted skin elasticity, faded sun damage, and a complexion that’ll make you look like you’ve been sipping from the fountain of youth (or at least staying hydrated at the beach).

Everyday vs. Mayday

Everyday is your go-to after a typical day of soaking up those San Diego rays. It’s packed with Terns’ secret weapon, the Sirenas Complex, plus a bunch of other natural goodies.

This isn’t your average after-sun lotion—it’s working overtime to fight free radicals, stimulate collagen, and keep your skin’s protective barrier in top shape.

But let’s be real, sometimes we get a little too enthusiastic about our outdoor adventures. That’s where Mayday comes in. This gel-cream is like a cool ocean breeze for your overexposed skin. With a higher dose of the Sirenas Complex and squalane, it’s all about rapid relief and skin regeneration.

Your Skin’s (And The Ocean’s) New Best Friend

Terns gets us. They’ve crafted these products with year-round outdoor enthusiasts in mind—the surfers, the hikers, the “let’s squeeze in one more beach day” crowd. And just like the Arctic Tern that inspired their name, these products are all about chasing endless summers.

The best part? Every time we treat ourselves to some Terns TLC, we’re giving back to our beloved ocean. They’re donating a dollar from each sale to support ocean conservation, research, and youth education.

It’s a win-win for our skin and our seas.
