Here comes the sun! With summer just around the corner, it’s no surprise that we keep day dreaming of our weekend trips to the beach, soaking in the sun with a nice cocktail in hand. Before you head to water, make sure you have everything you need in your beach bag.

Sunscreen

Cellular Laboratories De-Aging Sunscreen

While it may seen like I'm stating the obvious, sunscreen is a definate must for your beach bag, but all of the choices out there may leave you wondering which is best for you. Choose one that has additional ingredients that your skin will love! 


Over time, sun exposure can result in premature aging, causing fine lines and wrinkles and reddening of the skin, and without preventative action, our skin can begin to look like leather. A quality, anti-aging sunscreen is the key to fighting the signs of aging. Cellular Laboratories De-Aging Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ contains a comprehensive blend of four active sunscreen ingredients that protect against UVA and UVB rays, in conjunction with the antioxidants vitamin E and green tea extract, which condition skin to maintain a youthful, vibrant glow for your face and body. 


Screen out rays that rapidly increase the signs of aging, lock in moisture, and maintain elasticity and firmness by keeping the skin properly protected and equipped for the environmental effects that are around us every day. Cellular Laboratories De-Aging Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ absorbs quickly and dries without residue, making it ideal for daily use.


The Cellular Laboratories De-Aging Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50+ works great as a daily moisturizer, particularly for those with fair skin. Apply the sunscreen to a freshly cleaned, toned face; it can also be used after showering for the entire body. This is particularly great for use during the day. 

Lumière de Vie® Daily Brightening Broad Spectrum SPF 50

Lumière de Vie® Daily Brightening Broad Spectrum SPF 50, the essential your skin can’t live without. Protect and care for the skin with this silky, fast-absorbing crème that provides high protection from UVA and UVB exposure while soothing, brightening and evening skin tone. Protect your skin every day; you can thank us later.


For maximum protection this sunscreen should be applied directly to skin, before moisturizer and makeup. Another option is to double dip by first applying a layer of sunscreen, then moisturizer and finally another layer of sunscreen. No matter how you apply it is important that you allow any treatments/moisturizers to dry fully before SPF application, so that the sunscreen can be absorbed fully into the skin.


Personally, I like to double dip by applying Lumière de Vie® Daily Brightening Broad Spectrum SPF 50 to my face before my moisturizer, and ending my skincare regimen with Cellular Laboratories De-Aging Suncreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50+

Make sure to apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure.
