The pigments used in SMP are formulated to remain stable and not change color over time, but sun exposure can still have a negative impact on the appearance of the results and cause fading. In order to protect your SMP from sun exposure and maintain the color of the pigment, there are several steps you can take.
The first step to protecting your SMP from sun exposure is to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. If you must be outside during peak sun hours, which are typically between 10 am and 4 pm, try to stay in the shade or wear a hat that provides full coverage of the scalp. If you are spending a lot of time outdoors, it is also a good idea to wear a hat that covers your scalp and protects it from the sun.
Another way to protect your SMP from sun exposure is to use a product with a high SPF. Sunscreen not only helps to prevent sunburn and skin damage, but it also helps to protect the color of the pigment in your SMP.

In addition to using sunscreen, you can also protect your SMP from sun exposure by wearing a hat or head covering that provides full coverage of the scalp. This can include a wide-brimmed hat, a baseball cap, or a scarf or head wrap.
The key is to make sure that the hat or head covering provides full coverage of the scalp and protects it from the sun. Wearing a hat or head covering can also provide extra protection from the sun and help to maintain the color of the pigment in your SMP.
Another way to protect your SMP from sun exposure is to avoid certain skincare products that can cause irritation of the pigment. This can include products that contain alcohol, fragrances, and exfoliating ingredients.
Additionally, it is important to avoid using hair products that contain harsh chemicals, as these can cause irritation and of the pigment.
Finally, it is important to keep your scalp hydrated and moisturized to protect your SMP from sun exposure. This can include using a light and non-greasy moisturizer that is specifically designed for the scalp, as well as drinking plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
