must-have summer beauty essentials (#bestofbeauty)
Happy Tuesday! Today we’re dishing about our favorite summer beauty essentials as part of our Sassy Summer Must Have Series and Best of Beauty.
It’s never too late to prevent sun damage and protect your skin. Growing up on the white beaches of Florida was perfection, however I’d give almost anything to go back to my teenage years and lather myself with more sunscreen and preventative skincare products. My skin isn’t horribly damaged, but the brown spots that appear sporadically on my face are not my favorite feature.
In my early thirties, big splotches began appearing on my face within a few hours in the sun, covered in 45 SPF, big sunglasses and hat – something was going on with my skin. After many trips to the dermatologist it turned out to be long term skin damage that was triggered by heat and UVB/UVD rays along with melasma.
Looking to bump up your sun protection this summer? We’ve rounded up summer beauty essentials for you and the sassy kiddos.
SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF: Provides protection against UVA and UVB radiation, stimulates collagen and diminishes hyperpigmentation.
Skinceuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50 : Sheer, universal tint adaptable to all skin tones, broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection, decreases UV-induced premature aging, Paraben-free and water-resistant for 40 minutes. Works well when paired with Phloretin CF.
Rayito De Sol: The #1 sun care brand in Argentina and the #1 selling bronzing sunscreen in Brazil, is finally available in the United States, Rayito de Sol is available at www.rayitodesolus.com and at select Ulta stores and online at www.ulta.com.
Xen-Tan: Want to stay as far away from the sun as possible (is that possible?) and you’re not one to lounge poolside, Xen-Tan is the solution. Read my Xen- Tan review!
Sunology: Uses FDA-approved active ingredients derived from natural sources. Unlike most American sunscreens that use man-made chemicals, Sunology uses Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide to reflect the sun’s harmful rays. Kids lotion also available in SPF 50.
