Clothing provides a barrier against UV rays and, unlike skin products, doesn’t wear off after a few hours. When choosing clothing, hats, and fabrics, remember – the higher the UPF (ultraviolet protection factor), the better! Make sure to look out for high-tech protection, full skin coverage, and as much breathability as you can.

Soak Up The Sun.. with SPF!

June, 2018

Let's Soak Up That Sun.. with SPF

Summer is just around the corner and the sun is stronger than ever! Sunscreen is an FDA-Regulated product that needs to pass specific tests before they are sold. SPF is a must during these summer months. Here are some tips on what to know about how to protect yourself from harsh sun rays!

Skin Cancer Foundation Sun Care


1. The UV rays are strongest between 10am & 4pm
Check the strength by using the shadow test: if your shadow is shorter than you are, the sun’s rays are at their strongest! Staying in the shade is the best way to steer clear of the harsh sun.

2. Sunscreen Expires!
On average, sunscreen lasts between 2-3 years. Especially if it has been exposed to heat (i.e. glove box or car trunk), it may be less effective.

3. Choose “Broad Spectrum” Protection!
This label means that is protects against both UVA and UVB rays!

4. Ingredients Matter!
Make sure your sunscreens include active ingredients such as zinc and titanium.

Diamond Microdermabrasion is a technique that removes the topmost layer of skin, while leaving it more supple and vibrant.

All about SPF

August, 2013

What is SPF?

Summer is so here and most of us are wondering what sunscreen we can use. Do we really need it just in the summer and what SPF stands for?

The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) refers to the sunscreen’s ability to prevent skin from damaging UV rays. Sunscreen SPF ranges from 2 to 50 and more. For example, if you use a sunscreen with SPF 15 you can stay in the sun 15 times more before burning. It is good to know that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate sunscreens with SPF higher than 50 and there is no proof that this kind of sunscreen works better.

There are two types of UV rays which can cause damage on our skin: UVB and UVA.

UVB rays are invisible for naked eye. They play a key role in causing sunburns and developing a skin cancer. The UVA rays penetrate deeper than UVB rays into the skin. They play a major role in skin premature aging and wrinkling. Since both types of UV rays are harmful for our skin, look for the so called broad-spectrum sunscreens which protects from both UVB and UVA.

According to the American Melanoma Foundation (AMF) sunscreen should be used daily. It should not only be used on sunny summer days. Even in a cloudy day about 80 percent of the UV rays pass through the clouds and can cause damages on our skin. Your sunscreen should at least have one of these active ingredients: Zinc Oxide – A safe and non-irritating physical sun protectant. Titanium Dioxide- Provides physical protection from UV radiation. It also prevents skin damage and excessive melanin synthesis.

There are many sunscreen products on the market today but which of them are safe to use? We have to read the ingredients and make sure that the sunscreen we buy is:

– Lotion based: It is not recommended to use sprays. They can contain additional chemical and most of the oils have SPF less than 2.
– Contains no parabens: This is a type of preservatives that is used to prevent growth of molds and bacteria in cosmetic products.
– Mineral based ingredients that do not penetrate the skin such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
– Water resistant especially if you have outdoor physical activities.
– Broad spectrum that provides protection from both UVA and UVB.
– SPF not higher than 50

In our Skin Care Studio we proudly offer safe sunscreen products for our clients. Our products are free of parabens and dyes with high concentration of actives and innovative ingredients.
