Getting some vitamin D is totally crucial for your health – and a nice glow doesn’t hurt either. But whether it’s winter, spring, fall or especially summer, don’t forget your sunscreen!
I remember back in ‘80s when the big trend was laying out by the pool or hitting the beach with a bottle of baby oil and a sun reflector. We did this for hours and then the next thing you know, we’d be in the sun-tanning booth hoping to turn our redness to bronze.
We know so much more now than we did then. One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetimes – a very scary thought! Here’s how we at DASHA® recommend protecting your skin from the sun.
Find a primer or foundation that has SPF in it. While you’re walking around the city, your face is exposed to the sun and it’s the first body part that can easily get burnt. By finding a makeup with an SPF in it, you won’t have to worry about layering on creams.
Look for an SPF of at least 30. How often do we “forget” or choose not to re-apply? Trust me – you’ll be happy you opted for a stronger formula.
Keep a travel size SPF in your bag. It will be perfect for days spent out at the park, shopping or eating outside. You never know what summer days will bring!
Don’t forget about your lips. Find a lip treatment that has SPF in it because nobody likes a chapped or peeling pout!
This summer, be happy, safe and protect yourself!
