Does Glass Block UVA/UVB Rays?

Does Glass Block UVA/UVB Rays?

by | Mar 29, 2018

While window glass effectively blocks UVB rays, UVA rays, which cause premature signs of aging, still get through.

This means that whether you’re sitting at a desk by a window, are in a window seat on a plane, or are in a car, your skin is likely being exposed to damaging rays.

Studies have found that in the United States, skin damage is worse on the left side of the face and body since that’s where we sit when driving. Windshield glass is usually treated to block UVA and UVB rays, but side windows are not.

To best protect yourself, slather on the SPF each morning, whether you’re going out or staying in, and reapply every two hours.

 If you need to restock your supply (or get an extra for the car), we have sunscreen for your BODY, and one for every Regimen: REDEFINE, REVERSE, UNBLEMISH and SOOTHE.

Share this with friends or family members. It could save their skin — and their lives.

Fact or Myth? You Should Wear Sunscreen Indoors

Fact or Myth? You Should Wear Sunscreen Indoors

by | Mar 27, 2018

DID YOU KNOW? ?

?That you should be wearing SPF when you are inside, too.

Why? It turns out that UV exposure from lamps and other indoor light sources has the potential to harm your skin. Over time, UV exposure can add up, causing skin damage and early signs of aging.

Indoor sources of potentially harmful UV exposure include fluorescent bulbs, halogen lamps and even tablet and computer screens. It’s not just your face you should be concerned about: UV curing lamps used during gel manicures have the potential to damage the skin on your hands. (Tip: Bring your REDEFINE Age Shield Hand Balm with SPF 30 to the nail salon.) PM me for the best options to suit your budget 🙂

Facing Your Skins Future – Collagen Breakdown

Facing Your Skins Future – Collagen Breakdown

by | Mar 14, 2018

The aging process accelerates with time.
For example, starting at the age of 18, the average person loses 1% of collagen & elastin each and every year.  By the time we reach mid-thirties, the loss rate of collagen & elastin doubles to 2%. By the time we reach our 50s, that rate has doubled again to around 4%.
Take care of your skin with products proven to work!

Did You Know?  Much like the tip of an iceberg, our body and our skin ages every day but you may not notice these signs until they build up to a point when they suddenly become visible. It’s called the “tipping point”. Imagine waking up to this change when you’re 35, 45, or 50!!!

This is why it is so important to take care of your skin because this ‘tipping point’ started way back as a result of a degradation process that started at the age of 18.

Don’t put off taking care of your skin…it’s worth the extra effort! #skincarepartners
