Sunscreen Facts and Why SPF is Your BFF!

Summer is here! That means it’s time to take our sunscreen game to another level. Sun damage is a real thing and we wish we would’ve paid attention to it more when we were younger.

Here are some serious #SunscreenFacts that we found interesting:

• Skin Cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States

• More than 1 Million Skin Cancers are diagnosed annually

• 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer of the course of a lifetime

• 54% of Beauty lovers do not reapply sunscreen throughout the day

• 57% of Beauty consumers think that the SPF in their makeup is sufficient for sun protection

• Most sunscreens only protect against UVB Rays

• Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide are physical blockers that protect against both UVB and UVA rays

• People who used a tanning bed before the age of 35 increased their risk for melanoma by 75%

• An estimated 80% of skin aging is caused by the sun

Yes you read that right! 80% of aging of the sun is caused by the sun! Lather up and stop the aging process.

Sunscreens we (and dermatologists) swear by:

• EltaMD

• Epionce

• ISDIN

Want another layer of protection? Add a hat. Choose one with a wide strong brim that shades your entire face. Baseball hats are nice but they typically only shade part of the face.
