SUNCREENS Worth the Splurge

We all know sun exposure is our skin’s worst enemy. Choosing the right sunscreen can help protect against sun damage and maintain healthy, glowing skin all year round.

With summer upon us, we thought it was a good time to share three of our faves.

SkinMedica Essential Defense Mineral Shield Broad-Spectrum SPF 32 Tinted is a 100% mineral-based sunscreen that uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to provide broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. This light, oil-free formula is gentle enough for sensitive skin and infused with antioxidants to help protect against environmental stressors.

EltaMD UV Daily Broad Spectrum SPF 40 is a tinted, chemical-free sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB rays. The lightweight formula contains hyaluronic acid to help boost hydration and improve the skin’s overall texture while providing a sheer tint that helps even out skin tone.

• All 3 are medical-grade skincare lines that do not use controversial preservatives such as parabens.

• There is no white cast (when sunscreen leaves a white layer on your skin) when applied.

• They are lightweight and blend effortlessly into the skin.

• They contain powerful antioxidants and no harmful ingredients.

Image Skincare Prevention + Sun Serum SPF 30 is a unique sunscreen in the form of a serum that provides broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection. Its sheer formula is quickly absorbed into the skin and contains a blend of vitamins C, E, and B5 to help improve the overall health and appearance of skin.

Available at Incentives Organic Spa & Salon, Babylon Village.

It is our recommendation that you do your own due diligence when selecting a sunscreen or any product. Read the labels and ingredients to ensure they meet your needs and provide the level of protection you are looking for.

We love Supergoop! Play Lip Balm SPF 30. It moisturizes AND protects - a must-have for your beach bag this summer!

Summer Fridays Lip Balm provides intense hydration and nourishment while protecting lips from environmental free-radical damage through a blend of natural antioxidants and plant-based ingredients, such as pomegranate and acai berry, avocado & jojoba oils and shea butter. Great for chapped lips.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask is a leave-on overnight treatment formulated to repair and rejuvenate lips. It contains a blend of hydrating ingredients, including a nourishing Berry Fruit Complex™, Murumuru seed and shea butter, which help lock in moisture and promote healing.

*Neither Summer Fridays Lip Balm nor Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask contain SPF, so they do not provide sun protection. It’s important to use a separate lip sunscreen if you plan on spending time outdoors.
