Do you apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30 every day?
We hope so! Sunscreen is by far and away the most important thing you can do for your face.
But which sunscreen to choose? Check out what our staff have to say:
Claudia, medical assistant (left) loves Elta MD because it not only protects her skin against sun damage but leaves her dry skin feeling extra hydrated. It’s the only sunscreen she’s found to moisturize without leaving her skin feeling greasy. Elta MD is formulated with transparent zinc oxide, is noncomedogenic, fragrance-free and paraben-free.
Colleen, an aesthetician swears by SkinCeuticals Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50. With a fair, Asian skin-type, Colleen has a fair, Asian skin type and she’s prone to acne, so she needs a strong sunscreen that doesn’t irritate her sensitive skin. This product has it all, plus it’s translucent and weightless so she can put it on under makeup without having a caked-on feeling. It is made with titanium and zinc oxide so is chemical-free. Interesting note – it also contains artemia salina, a plankton extract that increases the skin’s resistance to UV- and heat-induced stress.
Izzy, our marketing director uses a lot of EltaMD UV Aero spray! With two young children who never sit still, Izzy needs an effective product that goes on quickly and effectively. This aero spay dispenses a white cream so she can see where her kids are getting coverage before it dries clear and her kids run off. The aero spray is water-resistant for 80 minutes, fragrance-free, oil-free, paraben-free, sensitivity-free and noncomedogenic. Best part – her kids don’t cry about it getting in their eyes.
