A spa is with sunscreen as to what a dentist is with flossing …we will talk about it endlessly because we hope that the message will stick with more than just a few individuals. And although one should wear sunscreen every season of the year, summer is especially important as we are simply out in the sunshine more than most other months …which brings us to our topic at hand: ‘Sunscreen, Summer and Your Skin’.
Sun Exposure and Your Skin
UVA rays coming from the sun (and tanning booths) are the primary cause of skin cancer and wrinkles, so purchasing a sunscreen that is right for your skin in the face and neck region, will help combat this and better maintain your youth – especially beyond those who consider sun exposure to be an easy way to skip the foundation routine in the morning. Don’t do it people …simply DO NOT do it.
The 15s, 20s and 30s of SPF Coverage
Often the question we hear is: “how much SPF is enough SPF?”, and the answer is – a minimum of 15. That being said, perhaps your face lotion offers a 15 SPF and your mineral makeup does as well, this is an ideal scenario to layer your sunscreen based products and reapply a light dusting throughout the day.
Also, those with sensitive skin should consider purchasing a sunscreen that uses titanium dioxide or zinc oxide as the main ingredient, which are both known to guard against breakouts yet still provide you with the imperative coverage of sunscreen protection.
