Summer Beauty Essentials

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month and our Spavia {LOCATION_TITLE} team wants to shed light on the best ways to protect your skin. Skin cancer is America’s most common cancer but fortunately is one of the most preventable forms of cancer.

What are the best ways to prevent sun exposure?

• Use sunscreen every day, even when it’s cloudy.
• Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB radiation.
• Reapply sunscreen every two hours. Reapply every hour if you are outside.
• Apply a quarter-sized amount of sunscreen (the size of an almond) when applying just to the face. Apply one ounce of sunscreen (enough to fill a shot glass) to the body.
• Avoid exposure to UV radiation from artificial sources such as tanning beds.

The warm summer months are a popular time for the start of wedding festivities and now is the perfect time to start looking for beauty essentials that will give your skin the best protection possible.

First and foremost, you should still wear sunscreen before starting your makeup routine even if your foundation or BB cream has SPF in it. If you’re using a physical sunscreen (one that has zinc oxide or titanium dioxide), the order to properly apply sunscreen underneath your makeup for a smooth look is moisturizer, SPF, makeup. It’s recommended to wait at least 3 - 5 minutes for the sunscreen to set before applying your choice of face makeup.
