A skin secret.

Most of you know that I'm in aesthetician school right now and halfway done!
My fam is always asking for tips on healthier skin or whats the best brand of this and that. So I thought I would give a few tips every once in a while! I'm no professional (yet) so don't go quoting me on all of it, but I am being well-trained and have some great knowledge to share!
The first secret to younger, healthy skin isn't really a secret. Its called using SUNSCREEN. Now come the questions of what kind?
There are a bajillion brands and types out there.
But its more the INGREDIENTS.
Look for
-zinc oxide
-titanium dioxide
-FULL spectrum coverage (not broad)
-SPF of no more than 35 (after that it is called a CHEMICAL sunscreen which causes burning)
-Avoid fragrances and parabens
I haven't discovered all the best brands yet but just keep those few hints in mind!
Re-apply at least every 2 hours!!
So this summer have fun in the sun, but do it right! :]
