Invest in your future skin health with these sun safety tips! By preventing premature aging and skin cancer, you're not just protecting your skin today, but also ensuring a healthier and more youthful complexion in the years to come.
Sunscreen
"Sunscreen is crucial for preserving collagen since UV radiation is one of the main culprits of collagen degradation," Sunscreen is very important all year round, but especially in the summer months when the sun is more brutal to our skin. If you haven't already, add sunscreen as the last step into your daily morning skincare routine. Reapplying every few hours is also key to staying protected from the sun. The sun can still shine through windows and even damage your skin while indoors.
Check UV Heat Index Online - https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/stratosphere/uv_index/uv_current_map.shtml
Each day, NOAA predicts and tracks ultraviolet radiation levels in the atmosphere that reach Earth’s surface, and then forecasts the potential for skin and eye damaging radiation. A numbered score of 0-5 indicates a low risk for those exposed to the sun, while a numbered score of 6 or greater indicates that significant damage can occur in a short period of time. Try to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, especially on days with a high UV index.

Sunless Tanning > Sun Tan
For a sun-kissed glow without the harmful effects of the sun, sunless tanning is the way to go! I love Norvell Venetian Tanning Mousse for a natural-looking, professional grade tan that's safe for your skin.
Stay Hydrated
I don't think we can be reminded enough about the importance of keeping our bodies hydrated for good health, especially in the hot Texas weather!
