This summer, protect yourself against
Environmental Skin Aging


Remember the old phrase “healthy tan”? We now know that repeated exposure to the sun and other environmental stressors (like extreme weather and pollution) can take a serious toll on our skin. Also referred to as extrinsic or external skin aging, environmental aging accelerates the breakdown of collagen and elastin, which can lead to fine lines, age spots, blotchiness and more. In addition, sun exposure causes DNA damage that inhibits the skin’s ability to repair itself. Over time, the water content of the epidermis decreases and skin appears dry and brittle.

But don’t despair! You can still enjoy barbecues and the beach. You just have to be smart about enjoying warm, sunny days.

We recommend Oil-Free Sunblock Sheer Tint SPF 15. Not only will you get protection against damaging UVA/UVB rays, but it balances skin tone with a light, natural tint. You’ll look great at pool parties while preventing environmental damage.
For active lifestyles, we recommend Waterproof Sunblock SPF 30. This long-lasting, high SPF waterproof formula protects skin with three active sunscreens.

    Hi Faye,

    The Oil Free Sunblocks, SPF 15 Sheer Tint or SPF 30, are great for oily skin! They help to protect the skin with SPF and antioxidants while also providing oil mattification. Definitely a great must have not jsut for summer, but all year! Environmental damage can be caused even on a cloudy day so it is always best to apply a protective sunscreen and even better when antioxidants like pomegranate or Vitamin C are included as well.
