May is Skin Cancer Awareness month and there’s no better time to talk about how to prevent sun damage. Warm weather is here and it’s important to have a skincare routine that accounts for sun exposure. With the help of Spavia Day Spa products and some helpful tips and tricks to protect your face from the rays, sun damage won’t have to be an inevitable part of your summer! Soak up the sunshine this season without having to worry about free radical formation or the long-term effects of prolonged exposure.
Take your sunscreen seriously
Sunscreen should be your holy grail product this summer so your skin is protected at all times. Any old sunscreen simply won’t do if you are looking for quality protection from the sun. Spavia Day Spa carries IMAGE Skincare sunscreen products that support your arsenal in sun damage prevention.
IMAGE Skincare moisturizers offer broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection and Digital Aging Defense™. They also provide ample hydration to the skin and a subtle glow that we all desire for the summertime. If your skin takes care of that glow all on its own with natural oils, IMAGE Skincare also offers a matte version of the daily moisturizer. If you are looking for a one-stop-shop product, IMAGE Skincare has a tinted moisturizer with SPF so you can get coverage and sun protection in one bottle! All products are infused with a hint of citrus essential oils for a naturally uplifting and calming scent as well.
Applying sunscreen daily may not seem all that appealing when it leaves a white cast on the face and a greasy feeling. Luckily, IMAGE Skincare products are formulated with ECOCert-organic zinc oxide for an invisible finish and weightless feel. Your sunscreen will seep into the skin effortlessly and will sit beautifully beneath makeup as well.
