SPF Easy

Illustrated by Jacqueline Davis Moranti

It's no secret that using spf infused products is essential to maintaining great skin for years. For those of you that don't know, too much sun can cause really bad long term problems for your skin. Might as well love the skin you're in and take care of it! As soon as the weather hits a stable 60 degree and sunny temperature I start to switch out my skin care products for other products with spf in it. That also includes body products too. While I like to consider myself a sun worshipper, I also make sure to know all the facts about too much sun. As you know, the sun causes pigmentation wrinkles, skin cancer, all of that is enough to send me running to my local department store for some adjustments to my skincare! I've been adding this special ingredient to my beauty ritual for years, yes my product rotation has greatly changed but my views on skincare are greatly cemented into my brain, thanks mom! Take a look at my current rotation! 

In conclusion to research, when determining which spf number to use, 15 over 30 or 30 over 50, it truly doesn't matter, as long as it has at least spf 15. Buying sunscreen can feel and even be a technical decision but it truly is easy, make sure that your choice includes protection for UVA and UVB.

Sunscreen is essential to keep your skin looking awesome, if you're going the extra mile in buying and wearing makeup then consider shielding your skin to keep your makeup looks awesome. I love the Coola products because of the wonderful scent it provides and the Clarins spray is an easy sheer application. Lips also need some protecting, Fresh's Sugar Sport is a product I swear by! I also love Promise Organic's Coconut Sunscreen (C/O) which comes in lotion bottle and easy stick applicator (not pictured).

At the end of the day, let your vanity win this one of nothing else will do! Sure this might be an added extra step into your daily routine, but it's as easy as 1-2-3 and your skin will thank you! Dear readers, how do feel about sunscreen in your beauty routine?
