Wear Your Sunscreen

Hi friends!

Summer time is coming! Thank goodness. There’s nothing I love more than sunshine and warm weather. However, this means it’s time to really step up our skincare routines. Most importantly, step up our sunscreen routine!

I know, there’s nothing people dread more than rubbing in bright white sunscreen all over their perfectly clear complexion. Trust me. I’ve been there! I used to fear sunscreen because I was terrified that it would break me out. But you know what’s scarier than acne? Sun damage. Sunscreen has so many benefits and I promise you can find the right sunscreen that won’t break you out!

My personal favorites right now are -

Murad Perfecting Day Cream SPF 30

CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen SPF 30

Avène SPF 50

I’ve found that all of these sunscreens keep my face nice and clear while providing protection. The CeraVe sunscreen even has a sheer tent that blends into your skin color providing a foundation-like coverage! None of these sunscreens feel heavy or greasy on my skin.

Here’s a few benefits of applying sunscreen daily -

1. Sunscreen lowers your risk of developing life-threatening skin cancer.

2. Sunscreen actually works to keep your skin even and clear. Wearing sunscreen prevents you from getting brown spots or discoloration from the sun.

3. Screenscreen helps with the visible signs of premature aging. Overexposure and intense sunlight can quickly lead to fine lines and wrinkles. Wear your sunscreen to help protect your skin.

4. This is just another step to add to your skincare routine! It’s fun getting to take care of yourself and feel your best. Adding sunscreen to your routine is another way of taking care of yourself and the skin your in!

5. Sunscreen protects against painful sunburn. Sunburns hurt! Nobody wants to experience a sunburn in the middle of summer. Wear your sunscreen to prevent turning bright red!
   

There are countless other benefits related to regular sunscreen usage. The bottom line is don’t skip your sunscreen! Even if it’s a cloudy day, there’s still dangerous UV rays that can leave permanent damage on your skin. Please just do yourself a favor this summer and stick to sunscreen! Do your best to reapply frequently. Try to avoid tanning beds at all costs! Damaging your skin is no joke!

Enjoy your summer! Step into the sunshine. (With sunscreen on of course!) Let’s all take care of ourselves 🦋✨
