the science of summer stress

What Actually Happens to Skin in Summer?

  • UV exposure depletes NAD+ levels and accelerates DNA damage.

  • Heat and humidity increase inflammation and oil production.

  • Sweat and pollutants compromise the skin barrier.

  • Travel disrupts circadian rhythm and hydration balance.

These stressors don’t just cause surface-level issues like dullness or breakouts, they impact your skin’s biology. That’s why a summer-ready routine should focus on recovery, resilience, and cellular defense.

Defend Your Skin Intelligently

the sun isn’t the problem, unprotected biology is.

Every minute of exposure to UV rays, blue light, and pollution chips away at your skin’s collagen, energy, and cellular integrity. This summer, don’t just cover up. Upgrade your skin’s defenses.

the three products to support skin all season

  • BIO-SHIELD SPF 40

    Daily Environmental Defense
     Protects against the invisible damage that accelerates aging, UVA/UVB, blue light, EMFs, and pollution.

    • Strengthens skin barrier with marine botanicals and ectoin.

    • Defends against environmental triggers that deplete cellular energy.

    • Ideal for everyday wear, travel, and digital-heavy days.

    Why It’s Essential for Summer:
     You can’t always see environmental stress, but it accelerates aging at the cellular level. Bio-Shield reinforces your skin’s natural defense systems daily.

  • HYPERBARIC MASK

    Overnight Skin Recovery
     A weekly (or travel-day) treatment that mimics the effects of oxygen therapy to reset and repair.

    • Boosts ATP production and activates the NRF2 pathway.

    • Replenishes skin post-sun exposure or dehydration.

    • Reduces signs of fatigue and restores radiance.

    Why It’s Essential for Summer:
     Whether from a flight, a beach day, or an all-nighter, your skin needs a full reset. Hyperbaric Mask provides targeted recovery at the cellular level.

  • L.A.D.R.

    Amplify Your Morning Red Light Therapy
     A three-step routine designed specifically to work with red light therapy (RLT).

    • Prepares the skin to receive light by reducing inflammation.

    • Enhances mitochondrial performance and boosts repair.

    • Reinforces post-light therapy hydration and barrier function.

    Why It’s Essential for Summer:
     If you’re using RLT to maintain skin health year-round, L.A.D.R. helps you get more from your sessions, and keeps skin resilient through seasonal stress.

how to structure your week for skin longevity

HYPERBARIC MASK

Use nightly as the final step in your evening routine. Apply generously to the face and neck after serum. No need to rinse. Let the mask infuse your skin with hydration, firmness, and cellular rejuvenation as you sleep. Ideal for calming heat-stressed or post-sun skin.

L.A.D.R.

Apply daily after cleansing and before moisturizing or masking. This light-activated serum enhances skin repair by supporting mitochondrial energy and DNA correction. For optimal results, follow with light exposure, natural sunlight or red/NIR therapy.

BIO-SHIELD SPF 40

Apply each morning as the final step in your daytime routine. This 100% mineral sunscreen shields against UV, blue light, and environmental pollutants while fortifying the skin barrier. Reapply throughout the day as needed, especially after perspiration or sun exposure.

Elevate Your Daily Defense

functional skincare, rooted in biology

These aren’t just surface-level fixes, they’re science-backed, biologically active solutions. Every product was selected because it plays a distinct role in protecting your skin from modern-day summer stressors, without adding unnecessary steps or complexity.

  • nad+ renewal

    Replenishes cellular energy depleted by sun exposure to restore skin vitality and resilience.

  • nrf2 activation

    Detoxifies and neutralizes oxidative stress for a calmer, more balanced complexion.

  • atp boosting

    Energizes fatigued, dehydrated skin by stimulating mitochondrial activity at the cellular level.

  • barrier defense

    Strengthens the skin’s protective shield against pollution, EMFs, and digital aggressors.

why young goose?

At Young Goose, we don’t make skincare. We engineer biological performance tools which are formulations rooted in longevity science, clinical validation, and cellular intelligence.

built on longevity science

Our formulas are driven by cutting-edge research in aging biology, leveraging NAD+ precursors, DNA-repair enzymes, and gene-activating compounds like NRF2 and SIRT1 to support skin health at its source.

clinically proven ingredients

Every active is selected not for trends, but for clinically-backed efficacy. From Lipochroman® and Ectoin to marine photolyases and next-gen peptides. We formulate with measurable outcomes in mind.

formulated for skin under stress

Whether you’ve just had a laser treatment or just stepped off a long-haul flight, our products are designed to support compromised, sensitive, or post-procedure skin, helping it recover, defend, and regenerate faster.

designed for real-world exposure

From UV and blue light to pollution and travel, Young Goose products are engineered for the way we actually live, in cities, on screens, under sunlight, and on the go.
