Summer’s here and here’s how to maximize your sun protection – 3 top tips:
- Layer on an antioxidant under your sunscreen and apply again at night. During the day antioxidants neutralize harmful free radicals generated by UV rays. Free radicals contribute to wrinkles, skin sag and age spots. At night, the antioxidant works won’t be fighting UV rays and has time to fight free radical damage occurring within your skin cells. Apothekari Vitamin C/E/Ferulic Acid Serum contains an effective combination of ingredients and may be used by all skin types.
- Find a broad spectrum UVA/UVB blocking sunscreen and use it daily. UVB rays cause sunburns and UVA rays cause skin aging. Apply liberally and remember to reapply if you are outside and/or engaged in sporting activities. Choose from our wide selection of Anthelios sunscreens and more at our online store.
- Pracitice safe sun habits. Topical treatments can help minimize sun damage, but prevention goes a long way:
- Avoid the sun during its peak hours between 10 am and 4 pm
- Seek shade whenever you can
- Wear protective clothing – long sleeves, hats and sunglasses will go a long way towards protecting your skin.
