Making Sunscreen Beautiful

Now that summer is officially here it is important to remember to apply sunscreen. Some of us may shy away from sunscreen because it’s already in our makeup/moisturizer or because we don’t want to ruin our makeup by applying oily or as we like to call it, the ‘Casper’ look of sunscreen when your face turns all white.

We are here to tell you that we have the BEST product to help save your skin and NOT ruin your makeup. It is called Sunforgettable® Total Protection™ Brush-On Shield SPF 50 by Colorescience. This innovative product is an all-powerful, all-mineral skin shield that provides complete protection in one convenient brush-on application with or without makeup.


What’s the Big Deal About Sunscreen?

A lot of us think that once we put on sunscreen we are good for the day. However, did you know that you need to reapply ALL sunscreens two hours after application if you are in the sun?

“Usually people put sunscreen on in the am and they are set for the day. Sometimes we girls don't like to mess up our makeup, sometimes men have a bald head and need to reapply, kids need to reapply, we all need to reapply, but many of us don't,” said Lesa Thompson, RN, CNP., owner of Timeless Elements Med Spa and Laser Center.


What is the Sunforgettable Brush?

The Sunforgettable brush makes it easy to reapply your sunscreen without ruining makeup. You can keep it handy in your purse, glove compartment of your car, golf bag, beach bag, or boat, and the effectiveness is not affected by the heat. We have mini brushes for travel or purses, too. Now there is no excuse not to reapply sunscreen and save your skin.

The Sunforgettable Brush from Colorescience is a mineral sunscreen, so no chemicals. Safe for children. Comes in 3 colors. People who don't want any color such as men or children just use the "fair" color brush. The color is very minimal though with all the brushes.

“I highly recommend this product for everyone, especially in the summer when we are always in the sun and may forget to reapply sunscreen,” said Lesa.


Three Reasons to Wear Sunscreen

  1. Skin Cancer Prevention: According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, UVA rays account for up to 95 percent of the ultraviolet radiation that reaches the Earth's surface. Although UVB rays are less prevalent, they also cause skin damage. Both UVA and UVB rays contribute to the development of skin cancer, including basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma.

  2. Premature Aging Prevention: Wearing sunscreen regularly helps prevent premature aging and age spots, according to the National Institute on Aging.

  3. Sunburn Prevention: According to LiveStrong.com, a research report published in August 2008 in the "Annals of Epidemiology" noted that each severe sunburn throughout life increases the risk for melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer. Wearing sunscreen prevents sunburns and the associated long-term side effects.
