BE SMART. PROTECT YOUR SKIN.

SUMMER IS COMING AND ALL OF YOU CURVED BEAUTY DIVAS WILL BE BASKING IN THE WARM HOT SUN, FADING AWAY YOUR PALE WINTER COAT. BUT BEFORE YOU DO, PLEASE MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW THESE HELPFUL TIPS, FOR SMART SUNBATHING!!!

1. USE SUNSCREEN: YES, YOU CAN STILL MAINTAIN A TAN WHILE USING SUNSCREEN. IT MAY TAKE LONGER, BUT YOU WILL BE THANKING YOURSELF WHEN YOU ARE 50 YEARS. OLD AND DO NOT LOOK LIKE A PIECE OF LEATHER! REMEMBER IT TAKES 10 YEARS. FOR SUN DAMAGE TO SHOW UP ON YOUR SKIN, YOUR SKIN NEEDS TO LAST YOU YOUR WHOLE LIFE- SO TAKE CARE OF IT!!

TRY LA ROCHE POSAY ANTHELIOS SX DAILY MOISTURIZER: IT CONTAINS AN INGREDIENT CALLED MEXORYL THAT HIGHLY PROTECTS AGAINST THOSE SHORT UVA RAYS( THE AGING RAYS!) THAT MOST SUNSCREENS DO NOT PROTECT AGAINST.

 

** SUNSCREEN TIP: REMEMBER THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A SPF 15 vs. 50 IS FOR HOW LONG IT PROTECTS YOU. PLEASE REMEMBER TO RE-APPLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY. FOR EXAMPLE, IF USING A SPF 15 YOU SHOULD RE-APPLY EVERY 1-2 HOURS vs. SPF 50 EVERY 4-5 HOURS. ALSO, LOOK FOR SUNSCREENS THAT ARE SWEAT PROOF AND/OR WATER PROOF.

2. Use a After Sun Intense Moisturizer. This will help to repair, hydrate and nourish the skin after a long day out in the sun.

TRY: Hawaiian Tropics After Sun Body Butter in Exotic Coconut( A Curved Beauty Fav!!!).

 

3. Self Tan! Use a self tanner to maintain your color. DO NOT keep going out in the sun or use tanning beds to get to your desired color. You will just be damaging your skin more in the long run!

TRY: L'Oreal Paris Sublime Bronze Self Tanning Lotion. Use everyday until you reach your desired color and than every other day to maintain color. 

 ** MORE IMPORTANTLY...THE SUN IS OUR FRENEMY. OUR BEST FRIEND, BUT COULD BE OUR WORST ENEMY. BE SMART WHEN OUT IN THE SUN, YOU'LL THANK YOURSELF DOWN THE ROAD!!
