Why is sun protection so crucial?

We all love a little bit of sunshine, especially if it means getting to go back outside again. It's important that no matter what your summer might look like this year, to keep your skin protected for benefits that will last a lifetime.

A seemingly no-brainer while at the beach or by the pool, applying sunscreen on a daily basis (even on cloudy days too!), can help set your skin up for life-long results. The earth's ozone layer has continued to decrease over time, allowing more harmful rays to penetrate your skin and cause damage or worse, even cancer. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, about 70% of skin cancers could be avoided simply by proper use of sunscreen.

Choose a sunscreen that offers you a physical barrier of coverage against UVA/UVB rays, apply it before you go outside and constantly reapply. Even simple things like driving, reading in a sunroom, or walking to your mailbox can still expose you to the sun's rays. Using a UV-protectant film in the car can help, but wearing sunscreen is like brushing your teeth, you'll should to do it everyday and reapply, reapply, reapply.

Our Advanced Defense Moisturizer with SPF 30 is by-design, a daily sunscreen. Gently moisturizing while remaining light enough to build upon for makeup, you don't have to avoid the sunshine anymore. 

Embrace these coming bright and sunny days, remember to always reapply and show your skin some love this summer.
