Sun Safely

I know summer doesn’t start until after the 4th of July around here but I wanted to plant the seeds early about sun protection.

I recommend full spectrum sun protection to my clients because we all need protection from UVA (aging) and UVB (burning) rays. Remember, both kinds of rays can penetrate clouds and UVA rays can penetrate glass too.

Using an antioxidant like SkinCeuticals C+E Ferulic protects from UVA rays and can also be used post sunburn to help the skin heal faster.

To protect from burning UVB rays use a good sunscreen like Coola's Classic Sunscreen, Glo Skin Minerals Tinted Primer with SPF 30 or SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion SPF 50.

If you’re reading this post too late and you’re already burned, I recommend Coola's Radical Recovery After Sun Lotion, a deeply moisturizing mix of Organic Agave and Aloe Vera to soothe and protect.

As always, stay hydrated and remember to reapply sunscreen frequently, especially after swimming or sweating.

Have fun!
