Help Save Your Skin from Future Wrinkles

It’s early (ish) August with lots of summer sun left, so do your future self a favor and don’t skip sun protection. 

Why?

Sun protection can help to prevent wrinkles and your skin will thank you for prioritizing these three essentials: SPF, shade and hats.

When you’re basking in the sun, do it safely by protecting your skin and using high performing, mineral sunscreens. Be sure to choose (non-nano) zinc oxide or titanium dioxide-based SPF and re-apply it often – a few of my favorites are our Beautycounter Countersun line, Badger and Babo Botanicals. Wearing sunscreen everyday can help slow down your skin’s aging process, so don’t skip this important step in your daily routine.

Shade can be your BFF, so take breaks regular breaks from the sun. If you can’t limit sun exposure between the hours of 10am – 2pm, a canopy like a CoolCabana is a true gamechanger. It offers ample shade and is beyond easy to set up. 

Lastly, further shield your skin by investing in a hat that offers good protection. Be sure it’s one that you like and will enjoy wearing – that way you’ll reach for it often and won’t leave home without it. My two go-tos right now are my House of Shan trucker hat and this foldable Fedora!

You’ll thank yourself later for taking these simple steps now to help keep you safer and slow down aging!
