Do I really need to wear sunscreen in the winter?

Even in the winter, or on a cloudy, rainy Seattle day, you can be exposed to UVA/UVB rays.

You should get in the habit of protecting your skin with sunscreen on a daily basis. Choosing the right sunscreen for your face – one that addresses your skin type and skin conditions – is not always easy, but  the right sunscreen can prevent sun damage, skin problems, and skin cancer.  Harmful UV rays can damage skin cells deep within the skin’s surface, making your cells vulnerable to toxins (free-radicals) in the environment.

Our Favorite Sunscreen

My favorite sunscreen is IS Clinical SPF 25 treatment sunscreen. Because most IS Clinical sunscreensunscreens can be tacky when applied, many of my clients have been resistant to applying them every day. IS Clinical Treatment Sunscreen goes on so smooth you don’t even know it is there, even under your foundation.

IS Clinical treatment sunscreen will provide you with UVA/UVB broad-spectrum protection, reduce the appearance of erythema (redness), provide an antioxidant-rich protective seal, and may even soothe inflammation.

IS Clinical treatment sunscreen comes in clear and tinted formulas for darker skin (or if you just want a little extra color). The cost for one 8 oz. tube ranges from $33-36 and will last for several months.
