Finding the right sunscreen for your skin type that you will love is no longer like finding a needle in a haystack! For many years some professional skin care companies have done an exceptional job of providing cosmetically elegant sunscreens for all skin types. The challenge has been making sure the general public knew about them! We still have many clients that do not use sunscreens regularly because they do not like the feel or look on their skin. We hope this article will help to change that!
Please note that all sunscreens below range from SPF 15-50. Regardless of the SPF number they all need re-applying every 2-4 hours depending on YOUR SKIN COLOUR. The darker your natural skin colour the closer to three to four hours before needing to re-apply. If you are white, we strongly encourage to reapply every 2 hours. If you are inside but by a window (or in a car) consider that UVA rays pass through glass ALL YEAR ROUND.
Sunscreens with a mineral pigment - these sunscreens are our best sellers for everyone. They will not make you look tanned but instead even out the skin tone slightly. They self adjust based on your natural pigment making them blend into the skin exceptionally well.
