Sun Protection Solutions: Essential Skincare Tips
In the pursuit of healthy skin, protecting yourself from the sun's rays should be one of the most essential parts of your routine. This goes beyond aesthetics, as shielding our skin from sun damage is a vital component of maintaining its health and vitality. As the body's largest organ, our skin acts as a protective barrier, defending against external aggressors and environmental stressors. However, prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation can lead to many detrimental effects, ranging from premature aging and hyperpigmentation to more severe consequences like skin cancer. The best thing you can do for your skin is prevent it from getting sun damaged in the first place by applying (and re-applying!) sunscreen. If the signs of sun damage are already established, however, we have solutions for that too!
Prevent and Protect
We get it, many types of sunscreen are annoying to apply, can often irritate the skin, and can ruin your look. Colorescience was aware of these very issues when developing their range of mineral sunscreens, creating products that not only block out the sun’s harmful rays, but also act as foundation!
To create a beautiful makeup look that also keeps your skin protected, follow these steps:
- Apply Face Shield Flex or Classic all over your skin
- Contour with Face Shield Bronze
- Highlight with Face Shield Glow and Total Eye
- Touch up with some Color Balm around your cheeks and eyes before finally applying Lip Shine!
For those who are on-the-go and need a quick, easy, and mess-free way to apply sunscreen, then Sport Stick is the perfect sunscreen for you. With a convenient applicator and a water/sweat resistant formula, this sunscreen is ideal for anyone on the move.
After Sun Care & Correction
Perhaps you lost track of the time, fell asleep on the beach, or didn’t apply sunscreen all that much when you were younger! As much as we’d like to be absolutely perfect with our sun protection, life happens. Thankfully, there’s a few ways to treat your skin.
If you’ve just been sunburnt and your skin is feeling red and sensitive, get some Masque VIP O2 and leave it in the fridge. Once cold, apply it to your skin to help reduce inflammation and soothe the burn. You may leave it on for 15-20 minutes before washing it off, or overnight. This trick works extra well if you have Cryosticks too!
For skin that has been sun damaged over time, use Brightening Touch Serum! Enriched with potent botanical extracts and cutting-edge skincare technology, this serum harnesses the power of nature to deliver transformative results. Infused with Vitamin C, a powerhouse antioxidant renowned for its skin-brightening properties, this serum effectively diminishes the appearance of dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and discoloration, revealing a more even and radiant skin tone.
Niacinamide works synergistically to reduce inflammation, improve skin texture, and enhance overall luminosity.
