Why Sunscreen is Your Number One Anti-Aging Product

Glycolic acid, Coenzyme Q10, Niacinamide, Green Tea Extracts, Resveratrol … and the list goes on! So many AMAZING and WONDERFUL ingredients and products are on the market to help you slow the aging process down. So, are you going to die when I tell you that there is one simple (and number one) anti-aging product … and it’s not that fancy serum or ceramide?

You know what I’m about to say too!!! Protecting your skin from the number one external aging factor is the most important. So, you need to be wearing your SPF daily and reapplying when you are out in it.

Common conversations with new clients sometimes go like this.

“I do wear sunscreen when I go out.”

OR

“My makeup has sunscreen in it.”

Here are my responses.

“If you can grow a plant in your house, then you have enough sunlight that you need to be wearing SPF daily.”

“Consistent efforts are seen in the skin years later. Maybe of the memes that I like to share during skin cancer prevention month and summertime say things like, ‘If I could go back to the 20 year old me, I would tell myself to wear SPF.’”

“Did you know that in order to get the number on the bottle from your foundation, you need approximately 9 pumps? Ain’t nobody be wearing 9 pumps of foundation a day. Foundation is extra, like gravy. But it does not substitute for your daily sunscreen.”

Because the aging and burning rays are getting to us everyday, you need to be mindful of the products that will best slow down our clocks of aging.

New bonus though! Many of the professional sunscreen products you can get from your Esthetician will also have ingredients on the anti-aging deck list! Wahoo!!!

Don’t beat yourself up if you haven’t been as consistent as you would like in the past. Let’s start today and get you an SPF that you love so you’ll look forward to wearing it daily, reapplying as needed, and never skipping a day!

Don’t forget to

Breathe. Let Go. Relax.
