friendly reminder: don't skip the SPF!
We know you’ve heard it before—but as we step into spring and head full-speed into summer, consider this your friendly reminder: don’t skip the sunscreen. Whether you're heading to the beach, gardening in the backyard, or just running errands, your skin needs consistent protection from harmful UV rays.
It’s easy to forget how powerful the sun can be when the warmth feels so good on your skin. But UV damage is cumulative and sneaky, leading to premature aging, sun spots, and increasing your risk for skin cancer. The good news? A daily habit of wearing SPF can make all the difference.
Why Daily Sunscreen is Essential
Whether it’s cloudy, sunny, or somewhere in between, UV rays are always present. And while that golden glow might feel like a reward, the damage happening beneath your skin tells another story. Unprotected sun exposure is one of the leading causes of premature aging, sun spots, and skin cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute, ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is a proven human carcinogen.
Spring & Summer: High-Risk Seasons for UV Exposure
During spring and summer, UV levels are at their peak. Even short periods of direct sun can lead to long-term skin damage if you're not protected. This is especially true if you're near reflective surfaces like water or sand, which can intensify UV radiation.
Protect Your Glow Without Compromise
Not all sunscreens are created equal. Many contain irritating ingredients or leave a white cast that makes daily use frustrating. That’s why we created our Organic Tinted Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50.
- SPF 50 broad-spectrum protection against UVA & UVB rays
- Tinted, non-greasy formula that blends seamlessly into all skin tones
- Packed with skin-loving ingredients like zinc oxide, aloe, and jojoba
- Reef-safe, cruelty-free, and free from harsh chemicals
It’s skincare and sun protection in one easy step.
How to Apply for Best Protection
- Apply a generous amount (about 1/2 teaspoon for the face) 15 minutes before sun exposure.
- Reapply every 2 hours, or immediately after swimming or sweating.
- Don’t forget often-missed areas like ears, neck, and the back of your hands.
Sunscreen is Year-Round Skincare
Think of sunscreen not just as a seasonal step, but a daily ritual that helps preserve the health and youth of your skin. Whether you’re spending the day outdoors or just driving to work, protecting your skin should be part of your routine.
Your future self will thank you.
