Protect Yourself

Lately I’ve been thinking about how 70% of aging comes from the sun.  It makes my young sun-loving self terrified of my skin’s future. To think I used to lifeguard all day long with spf makes me feel even worse.

Working in a cancer hospital, I am constantly around those less fortune health-wise.  It’s truly humbling, and I am constantly barraged with health tips from patients that want to warn me about potential outcomes of bad lifestyle choices. The most common advice? Stay protected in the sun!

This brings me to Beyond Clear Skin Clarifoam Broad Spectrum SPF.  It’s a mouthful, but it is worth it. It’s full of antioxidants and nutrients and protects against UVA (aging) and UVB  (burning) rays.

It honestly feels like a light moisturizer and doesn’t feel sticky, which is usually a problem for me.  Oh yes, and let me tell you about the scent.  It smells refreshing, yet musky, kind of like CK One from back in the day.  I couldn’t stop smelling my hands each time after I applied it. Embarrassing, but true.

So now is the time I’m going to act like your mom (or grandma) and tell you to make sure you put on sunscreen. It’ll be worth it when the people you went to high school with look much older than you do with their wrinkles and age spots.  You’ll thank me later!

How do you protect yourself in the sun?

    You’re so right! It’s so important to wear sunscreen. I’m definitely going to try this product for sure. I usually just use Aveeno or Neutragena…
