I’m sure you have heard about all the terrors of what too much sun exposure can do to your skin.
In case you haven’t, let me tell you: Freckles, wrinkles, sunspots, sunburn, sun poisoning, and three types of skin cancer! When you walked outside this morning, did you remember to put on sunscreen? If you forgot, don’t worry, Sephora has a ‘favorites kit’ ($32) with all sorts of sun care products for you to try. It also has a great natural retinol alternative moisturizer made of bakuchiol. The ingredient bakuchiol is one of the best natural ingredients to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Not only is this kit great for you and your skin, but Sephora is donating $20 from every sale to the Skin Cancer Foundation. What a great cause!
I’ve always been as pale as can be, and I’ve ceaselessly wished for a tan my whole life. In my (stupid) youth, I went to the beach and sunbathed without any sunscreen, and I tried out more tanning oils than I can count. But after a visit to my dermatologist a few years back, I found out that other than providing vitamin D, the sun also ages you and essentially sucks the youth right out of your skin and you can see more about it in this post. I know – it sounds dramatic, but it’s true. Did you know some people wear sunscreen daily? Our faces are exposed to the sun every single day, and the sun emits harmful UV rays year-round. Let’s not forget that those rays reflect off snow, sand, and water, and can even reach you indoors through glass windows. Do your skin a favor and get yourself some non-comedogenic facial sunscreen.
