Colorescience Pro: Mineral Sunscreens and Primers

Colorescience Pro Mineral Sunscreens and Primers is a new line that I’ve been eyeing for some time and it’s finally available at our online store.

Colorescience offers a line of SPF sunscreens and primers formulated with proven ingredients to give you instant and long lasting results. Formulated with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide (minerals) Colorescience sunscreens and primers offer protection against both UVA and UVB rays.

Why am I so excited about Colorescience? Several reasons:

1. Unlike many traditional sunscreens, it doesn’t contain many of the carriers, emollients or fragrances that may irritate, sting or burn sensitive skin. Colorescience is free of talc, perfumes, mineral oil, harsh preservatives, drying alcohols, emulsifiers and dyes.
2. As a mineral product, Colorescience sunscreens are effective immediately upon application and don’t require a waiting time of 15 to 20 minutes.
3. Colorescience sunscreens have demonstrated a high resistance to breaking down in conditions involving water, humidity and sweat. According to current FDA standards, they are considered very water resistant making them ideal for use during activities including swimming, biking and gardening.
4. Powder sunscreens aren’t greasy, don’t stick on the skin, and are easy to reapply over or under makeup.

Choose from the following:

• Colorescience Sunforgettable SPF 30 – available in light, medium or dark shades to suit a range of skin types
• Colorescience Sunforgettable SPF 50 – available in a medium tone suited to most skin types

Skin primers aren’t a new invention, but have been around for more than a few years. Just like you prime a wall before you paint it, you can prime your face prior to applying foundation. Makeup artists love primers because they even out skin tone, helping makeup to stay on longer even in hot weather. Apply a primer after your moisturizer and before your makeup. The advantage of Colorescience primers is that many come with the added benefit of SPF protection. The result? Smooth, flawless looking skin. And that’s before you apply makeup!
