Let's chat about erasing wrinkles this summer, even when we're spending time in the sun.
According to WebMD, the leading cause of wrinkles is….SUN EXPOSURE. This accounts for 90% of premature skin aging!
It wasn’t until the late 1940s when society decided that tanned skin made them look healthier. Since then, the tan look was considered socially acceptable. So, how’s a girl (or guy) supposed to keep wrinkles away and still enjoy that summer fun?
Drink 6-8 glasses of water a day or half of your body weight in ounces. As we age our skin becomes thinner and drier. So, drink plenty of water to keep the skin hydrated. Remember to add in Vitality Drops or oils to change up the flavor and add extra health benefits.
Wear sunscreen. But make it a toxin-free one! So many sunscreens out there are contributing to the cause of skin cancer rather than protecting us from it, not to mention they're adding to the destruction of coral reefs from all the tourists swimming their screen off in the ocean. Before you even leave the house - even when you’re headed to the office - apply Young Living's Mineral Sunscreen. The time you spend in the sun without any protection leads to those pesky wrinkles. (This goes for winter sunshine, too.) Apply it to your hands, arms and face as those areas are particularly susceptible to sun damage. This sunscreen is certified reef safe and is free from all the toxic ingredients that are found in so many other sunscreens; you can feel good about using it daily for yourself, your kids, and even babies.
Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply after 80 minutes of swimming or sweating, immediately after towel drying, or as often as necessary. The SPF of a sunscreen simply means that you can remain outside 10 times (SPF 10) or 50 times (SPF 50) longer than you would be able to without any protection.
Pro Tip: Apply this sunscreen before applying your Savvy Minerals makeup for a nourishing and protective primer.
