SUNSCREENS & TANNING
No matter what time of year it is, or
where you live on this vast planet, if your out in the sun, you need sun
protection. A quality sunscreen used over time, can help prevent
premature wrinkles and further sun damage such as skin cancer. So if
your a serious tanner, or tan here and there, or even try to avoid being
in the sun, you need what we have.
There are several ways to fit sun protection into your daily
skincare routine. You can choose an Spf 15 or greater moisturizer
formulated with sunscreen, or you can apply a sunscreen after applying a
moisturizer. I do not recommend Spf foundations as your main sunscreen because they do not
usually contain a high enough Spf level. The sunscreen should be the
last thing you apply to the skin. So if I were going to add this to my
routine, I'd follow the following regimen: cleanse, apply toner,
moisturize then Spf (ie Spf15 moisturizer). If this is to heavy, then
apply the moisturizer over the dry areas of the face only, and then
apply the Spf15 cream over the entire face. We do not recommend
synthetic sunscreens.
