Don't Forget Your SPF

It's a dreary overcast day, the perfect day to do yard work. You grab your water bottle and gardening gloves and start to head out the door. Putting your hand on the door knob you pause, knowing you're forgetting something. It dawns on you! You have forgotten your SPF!

Even on a cloudy day it is essential to apply your SPF every few hours. Even when the sun isn't shining your skin is still exposed to UV rays. It is said that 90% of aging is due to sun damage, not to mention increasing your risk of skin cancer if not properly protecting your skin daily. Good sunscreen to look out for will contain zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, they are natural ingredients that protect the skin and zinc oxide also helps to reduce inflammation. Pairing with antioxidants in either your serum or moisturizer will also help to combat free radical damage and hydrate the skin.
