Sun Safety Tips


Tip #1: Armor up with a powerful daily sun protectant
As we age, our skin’s repair and regeneration process slows, so older skin becomes delicate and susceptible to damage. Keep skin ultra-hydrated and protected with a supercharged sun protectant, like Peptide Rich Defense SPF 50. This age-defying sunscreen and moisturizer in one has an advanced formula that replenishes moisture loss and improves visible signs of aging while preventing sun damage with broad-spectrum SPF 50.
Tip #2: Invest in a great broad-spectrum product
When shielding your skin, it’s important to protect it from both UVA and UVB rays, so look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Hydrate+ is a Broad-Spectrum SPF 17 Moisturizing Sunscreen offers all skin types protection against age-accelerating free radicals and future sun damage.
Tip #3: Apply SPF Daily
Skin is constantly exposed to harmful UV-rays, so make a habit of applying SPF each day. If you are spending time in the sun, apply liberally and re-apply throughout the day.
Tip #4: Use clothing and accessories to protect the skin
Physical clothing barriers are recommended for fragile skin areas like the forearms, neck, décolleté and hands. Try sporting big and wide brimmed hats and oversized sunglasses to keep skin protected at all times. Not only do they look incredible, but they serve a barrier from the sun.
Tip #4: Avoid midday sun exposure
The sun is strongest between 10a.m. and 2p.m., so avoid peak sun intensity during those hours.
