Summer
may be a fading memory, just like that last sunset on the beach, so maybe
you’re thinking that your skin is now safe from the sun. Think again!
Sunscreen
and the Seasons
“Every
day is sun-day,” says Dr. Katie Rodan. The season shouldn’t dictate when (or
where) you apply sunscreen. UVB rays are weaker in the winter so you might not
get sunburned the same way, but UVA rays — the ones that cause signs of
aging like wrinkles and discoloration — are strong all year round. And it’s not
just the face that gets it, make sure to cover your hands and arms if they are
exposed, we’ve all seen dark spots on hands, anyone want to avoid those?
The
weather shouldn’t indicate when to wear sunscreen either. UV rays are laughing
at the clouds and all of us mortals who think rays don’t penetrate an overcast
sky. They do. In fact, 80% of the sun’s rays penetrate clouds. This is why the
Doctors recommend sunscreen even on cloudy days — in fact every day.
Sunscreen
and the Indoors
Same
goes for your location. Just because you’re indoors or in an office every day
doesn’t mean you are protected. UV rays totally penetrate glass, whether it’s
next to your cubicle or an airplane window. So even inside, you need to wear
sunscreen.
R+F
Sunscreens
Since
applying sunscreen is part of a healthy skincare routine, R+F Regimens include
it as a step, but these can also be used separately. In the REDEFINE Regimen, Triple
Defense Treatment SPF 30 is a daytime moisturizer that provides sun protection as it
visibly firms skin and moisturizes. Since REVERSE SPF
50 Sunscreen is designed to visibly decelerate early signs of skin aging like
discoloration that appear over time, it has SPF 50. UNBLEMISH
Shine-Free Lotion SPF 20 protects from damaging UVA/UVB rays that are linked to fine
lines, wrinkles and darkening of acne marks. Mineral sunscreens like SOOTHE Mineral
Sunscreen SPF 30 are well suited for sensitive skin as they protect from
irritating UVA and UVB rays. For the body, ESSENTIALS
Body Sunscreen SPF 30 is ideal for complete coverage, or for any exposed part of the
body like arms. And don’t forget your lips! ESSENTIALS
Lip Shield SPF 25 protects lips and with a blend of Peptides and natural oils it as
a moisturizer for supple, healthy-looking lips.
Then,
to really protect and perfect skin, our Radiant
Defense Perfecting Liquid contains SPF 30 as an extra shield for your face, all while
smoothing and evening out skin tone with this tinted liquid formula.
The
funny thing about sunscreen, as the Doctors like to say, is that if you don’t
use it, it won’t work. And yes, wear it all year long.
