Summer is here and now that we spend a lot of time outside sun protection is uber important! Of course you should be wearing SPF all year round but the topic mainly comes up during the spring and summer time. Applying SPF is mostly pretty straight forward, the key is just to remember to re-apply every 2 hours. However for whoever wears make up, the task can get a little more challenging. As I have struggled with this and probably risked a few sun spots over the years, I have found some pretty easy solutions and products that can make sun protection a challenge of the past.
Sun Protection Spray for Face
The Institute Esthederm Sun protection products are especially beautiful because they do not just protect from UVA and UVB, but also contain ingredients that help to prevent signs of aging and especially hydration. My favourite new discovery is the Bronz Impluse Face and Body spray.
What about if you are wearing make up? I feel that wearing make up prevents a lot of women to continuous protect themselves from the sun during the day. Apply a sunscreen in the morning only works for 2 hours (I currently love using the Skinceuticals Tinted SPF50, which works as a base for my make up) , but what about after that? The skin is pretty much completely exposed to UVA and UVB rays. A powder or foundation with SPF is the answer. Or a combination of a SPF facial mist (above) and a powder.
SPF Make Up
And of course we need to protect our sin everywhere, but this is usually an easier task. Apply and re-applying sunscreen every two hours is key in preventing sunburns, sun spots and pre-mature aging. Here are a few of my favourite products.
SPF for Body
I hope this article will help stay protected from the UVA and UVB this summer and throughout the year. Enjoy the sunshine!
