Just because a product says “natural” doesn’t mean it’s better for your skin! 🌿 “Natural” isn’t a regulated term, and many so-called clean products still contain ingredients that can trigger irritation or allergic reactions. Make sure you know what these commonly used terms actually mean!

Not sure what you should try for a certain need? Ask us! We can help you come up with a custom skincare routine. 🙌

Think your sunburn will just fade into a tan? 🥴 Not quite. ➡️Here’s what’s actually happening: that redness is a sign of DNA damage in your skin cells—not a healthy glow.

While some color may appear after the burn, it’s your skin’s way of protecting itself, not a sign of good health.
Protect your skin now to prevent long-term damage later. 🧴

UVA vs. UVB: Know the Difference! ☀️

🔆 UVA: Think “A for Aging” → These rays pe*****te deeply into your skin and are responsible for wrinkles & sunspots.

🔆 UVB: Think “B for Burning” → These rays are shorter and stay more on skin’s surface but are responsible for damage to the top layer of your skin through sunburns and peaks in summer.

Protect your skin from both types of the sun’s rays by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen—every day, rain or shine! 🧴
