Between new products and usual precautions, this summer is gearing up to be a beautiful one. Here are few sun products you’ll want to use all season long.
INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS
Refined, mineral sunscreens come in a variety of products (spray, powder brush, stick, solid) whereas face lotions come in different shades and are packed full of anti-aging ingredients.
State-of-the-art, the My UV Patch is an electronic skin patch designed by L’Oréal. Wear in on the back of your hand and it will track your UV exposure.
Accurate, some products now display a UVA symbol in a circle. This European logo means that their anti-aging UVA protection is equal to a third of their SPF, which describes its ability to protect against sunburns. You always need to choose a product that protects against both UVA and UVB.
Prohibited, dishonest marketing that leads to a false sense of security in the sun (SPF 110, sunblock, etc.).
