SPF measures how well a sunscreen protects your skin from UVB rays, the type of ultraviolet light that causes sunburn and contributes to skin cancer.
UVA rays cause aging and also contributes to skin cancer.
Both UVA and UVB are from the sun.

THIS IS WHY USING A BROADBAND SPECTRUM SUNSCREEN IS IMPORTANT AS IT PROTECTS YOU AGAINST BOTH!!

For example-if your skin would normally burn after 10minutes in the sun, SPF of 30 lets you stay in the sun 30 times longer before burning.
This does not mean you are necessarily protected for 300 minutes as there are factors that influence this, sweatwaterrubbing sunscreen wears off over time

PRO TIPS!
-Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours regardless of influencing factors.
-Use minimum of SPF 30
-Foundation with SPF is just a bonus.It is not enough to use as a sunscreen. Apply foundation after sunscreen or try an Alumier MD sunscreen with beads of mineral make up in it to achieve that visible coverage.
-Reapply after swimming, rubbing or sweating.
-Have sunscreen be a part of your daily routine (like brushing your teeth). Summer and winter.

Play safe and enjoy beautiful skin.

YES, You Can Glow All Summer!

Is it safe to have skin treatments in the summer?
YES—**with the right care**. Treatments like facials (glow and go or red carpet ready), microneedling, and even light chemical peels can safely be done in warmer months. The key? Sun protection! Wear a hat, apply minimum of a broad spectrum SPF 30 and reapply frequently.

💡 Pro Tip: SPF needs to be applied more regularly when sweating. SPF will decrease with time and needs to be reapplied every 2 hours even if not sweating or in and out of water. Alumier MD offers 6 choices of mineral based SPF 40. From tinted to untinted these sunscreens are elegant on the skin and can be your one step finish to that perfect glow.

Why You Should Try Microneedling 🌟

Microneedling is a powerful treatment that tackles aging, hyperpigmentation, and scarring—helping you achieve smoother, more even skin! Here are five reasons why you should consider it:

1. Reduce Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Microneedling stimulates collagen production, helping to tighten and firm your skin. The result? A youthful, plump complexion! ✨

2. Fade Hyperpigmentation: Whether it's sun spots or melasma, microneedling can even out your skin tone, leaving you with a more radiant and glowing look! 🌞

3. Minimize Acne Scars: Struggling with acne scars? Microneedling encourages new skin growth, smoothing out scars and giving you a clearer complexion. 🧖‍♀

4. Improve Skin Texture: It smooths rough skin, shrinks appearance of pores, and gives you that coveted silky-smooth feeling. 👌

5. Safe & Effective: Non-invasive and with minimal downtime, microneedling fits seamlessly into your beauty routine without major disruptions. 💆‍♀️

There is no need to be afraid of chemical peels. They are the most effective ways to achieve SMOOTHER,HEALTHIER skin. As we age, dead cells and environmental stressors build up, leading to a dull complexion.
Chemical peels work by exfoliating the surface and stimulating deeper layers of the skin promoting cell renewal and boosting your NATURAL SKIN RADIANCE.
