I am talking about Sunscreen Beautiful! Your skin is the largest organ of the body and its job is to protect us from everyday harm - free radicals, chemicals, etc. So it is very important to apply sunscreen every day to protect us from damaging UV rays. Show your skin some love!
To follow are some tips to protect yourself while still looking good!
Yes, there is much benefit to wearing a daytime moisturizer that has a sunscreen added to it. Something over 30 SPF is the most effective to protect us.
FUN FACT: Did you know that sunscreen can help even out your complexion and improve skin tone and texture? even more reason to be diligent in wearing it daily! Check out this study from AAD.
There are a lot of moisturizers on the market that include sunscreen for daily use. Here is the one I use from DRMTLGY a medical grade skincare line. I like this particular one - because it is a foundation and sunscreen in one! It is also reasonably priced for a 2-in-1!
There are others of course, and if you are looking for a daily moisturizer with SPF that does not have foundation - DRMTLGY does have a clear option on their website or AMAZON carries several, like this best seller for sensitive skin: CETAPHIL MOISTURIZER&SUNSCREEN OR SUN BUM Facial Spray Mist.
Whatever you use remember to use 30 SPF or above!
Sunscreen use can help prevent skin cancer by protecting you from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Anyone can get skin cancer, regardless of age, gender or race. This is why it is important to wear this daily but especially reapplied every 2 hours or after swimming while at the beach!
