Why you need SPF in your daily skincare routine!

You will age quicker than someone who uses SPF everyday, there is no doubt about it. If you want to feel or look young and youthful than SPF is your best friend. Now you’re probably wondering, why?

The sun puts off UVA, UVB and UBC rays. The way I like to remember is A=Aging, B=Burning and C=Cancerous rays. To block out these harmful rays a good solution would be to use SPF 30 everyday on the face and neck as well as to any exposed skin. Once you start creeping your way up the scale of higher SPF’s the difference between the ratings are not that different and no sunscreen is 100%. SPF 15 blocks about 94% of UVB rays while SPF 30 blocks around 97% and an SPF of 45 only blocks out roughly 98% of the UVB rays. I highly recommend at least a moisturizer with SPF 15 or 30 to put on the face and neck. (yes even in the winter!) There are tinted moisturizers and foundations you can get with SPF and the one I highly recommend is the Nancy K Brown tinted moisturizer with SPF 30. I personally use it and am in love with their formula as it soaks right into the skin, it is not greasy and has a lovely smell.

You can Purchase this moisturizer here.

Skincare mistakes you are making!

If you are like me and have tried nearly everything to get your skin to where it should be, then you are probably making these mistakes without realizing it.

STOP using an arsenal of different products!

Products are put out to work alongside with each other not with other brands. Certain products are used to balance the pH of the skin while others already have a stable pH of 5.5. Using all these different products are confusing your skin, it doesn’t know what to do!

LET your skin purge!

Don’t stop a product line because you are breaking out, be thankful that you are! They are pulling the oils from your skin so it can naturally get rid of your blemishes without you picking at them. Trust that they will come out and your breakout will go away.

GIVE it time!

Products take time to work themselves into the skin, be patient and let these products do their work. You could see results in two weeks, a month or sometimes more. Be persistent with your routine and keep a close eye on your skin while trying new products.

STOP buying drugstore skincare products!

Most of these well known drugstore products do not have a lot of active ingredients to fully put your skin in full drive to get it working. You are wasting your money and your time.

SPEND the money on good skincare!

I recommend NuOxygen, as I have done clinical studies using these products and have seen amazing results. This is the brand I currently use and I can honestly say my skin has never felt or looked better since I started using these products. You can find the full line at http://www.nuoxygen.ca/
