"That&amp;#x27;s right. Forget pricey procedures, gadgets and potions--a plain old teaspoon from your silverware drawer is one of the smartest beauty tools around. Got any ideas what I am getting at? Did you answer: A) For heating with a blowdryer and curling my lashes B) For keeping in the fridge as an on-call de-puffer for tired, hungover eyes The correct answer is: Neither! Okay, both of those are really good beauty uses for a teaspoon, but what I am hinting at is a different tip that I&amp;#x27;ve heard from a couple different dermatologists lately: If your daily moisturizer contains SPF and serves as your only daily sunscreen, make sure you apply at least one teaspoon&amp;#x27;s worth to your face. If you use less than that--as many of us do, especially when it comes to tinted moisturizers--you&amp;#x27;ll only be getting a fraction of the SPF protection listed on the label (say, SPF 2 instead of 15). And as I&amp;#x27;m sure you know by now, wearing adequate sun protection daily is the single most important thing you can do to keep your skin young and healthy. Not convinced? Look at my crazy before-and-after photos! How much moisturizer would you estimate you apply each day? A teaspoon&amp;#x27;s worth? Less? More? How many of you rely on a moisturizer as your primary SPF protection?
