Summer Skin Care


Summer is MOSTLY about the sun & facial skin aging is MOSTLY about sun damage.Prevention is about sunscreens but their efficacy is not just about the (SPF )numbers. SPF measures only protection from a small part of the sun’s harmful spectrum. For full protection:

#1 The right ingredients are needed- high % of Zinc; mexoryl; or helioplex.

#2 Apply thickly- only a minority of individuals apply sunscreens as thickly as in the SPF studies &

#3 Re-apply once or more if you perspire heavily. Additionally, studies suggest that antioxidants such as Vitamin C applied before sun exposure may offset much of the free radical damage elicited by UV exposure.

  1. Please don't forget to cover you hair & scalp! Over 13% of melanomas are found on scalp. You can still look stylish by brushing on Sun Shadz,an all natural powder with spf 15 or Hair Shadz which in addition to above, reblends your root growth. Both protect you from the sun AND glam up your hair. Hair Shadz and Sun Shadz also act as a dry shampoo. So follow the steps in the blog - it's very important to your health!Oh - sun shadz and hair shadz can be bought online at www.monimay.com
