A Physical Sunscreen contains active mineral ingredients, such as titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which work by sitting on top of the skin surface to deflect and scatter damaging UV rays away from the skin. A physical spf will provide protection immediately at application from UVA and UVB rays. A Chemical Sunscreen contains carbon-based compounds, such as oxybenzone, octinoxate, octisalate, and avobenzone, which create a chemical reaction and work by changing UV rays into heat, then releasing that heat from the skin. A chemical spf requires about 20 minutes after application before it starts to work. Which ever you choose to protect your skin with, a Physical or Chemical Sunscreen, we recommend a SPF 30 or higher and reapply every 80 minutes. #PROTECT
If you've been wondering when you should start an anti-aging regime, the answer is: it's never too soon. How you treat your skin now will have a HUGE impact on how it looks in the future so don't wait a single second to protect and nourish it. Here are a few ways to get started:
START WEARING SUNSCREEN SPF 30 OR HIGHER EVERYDAY
Wear a broad spectrum sunscreen of a SPF 30 or higher every single day. Even if it is rainy or cloudy. Sun damage is the number one cause of skin aging. Signs of sun damaged skin include skin discolorations, fine lines, wrinkles, and rough texture.
WASH YOUR FACE MORNING AND NIGHT
Give your skin a break by washing away your makeup every night. Washing your face every am and pm gives your skin the clean slate to apply anti-aging treatment products to perfectly cleansed skin for maximum absorption and maximum benefit.
DEVELOP A DAILY ANTI-AGING SKIN CARE ROUTINE
Start with the basics,
Cleanser, toner, eye cream, antioxidant, moisturizer, SPF 30 or higher.
LEAD A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
Take care of your body- eat a healthy diet, stay hydrated, exercise regularly, get plenty of sleep, and don't smoke.
Take care of your mind- Practice stress reduction and relaxation techniques such as, massages, facials, or meditation.
