Excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation can damage your skin and increase your risk of developing skin cancer.
Since sunlight is the primary source of UV rays, it’s important to slather on the sunscreen during the summer. However, the sun’s UV rays are just as powerful in the winter, so protecting your skin must be a year-round commitment.
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, you should reapply sunscreen every two hours. Carol Zoller, licensed master esthetician, recommends Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Brush-On Shield SPF 50 by Colorescience®. It’s the only 100% non-chemical brush-on mineral shield that can be applied over makeup, any time throughout the day. This broad spectrum powder formula sunscreen is non-comedogenic (does not block pores), hypoallergenic, and free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrance, and chemical dyes. And, it’s water/sweat resistant for up to 80 minutes!
Remember, even one sunburn can increase your risk of developing skin cancer. Stock up the next time you visit Skin Therapy of Charlotte®, where the full line of Colorescience® sunscreens and correctors is available for sale.
