Summer is on its way and this is a good time to remind clients about protecting skin from those nasty ultraviolet rays. Time and time again clients will come in burnt from the sun because they fail to apply the product properly. Many cream sunscreens that are not sunblocks, need to be applied and re-applied.
There are other options to properly protect your skin without constant reapplication:
- Using a 12-hour protection sunscreen means that you don't have to slather it on every 2 hours. Skin Tx and Vivier are my favourite. Light weight and non-greasy.
- Try a mineral makeup such as Glo Minerals that physically blocks the sun.
- The suns isn't our skin's best friend. Avoiding it like the plague is not healthy either. Just be safe and remember to protect yourself. Too much sun = pigmentation, spots, and accelerated aging.
