The importance of incorporating SPF into your professional and personal life<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s a certain warmth in the air as we near the month of April. A cool but welcoming breeze knocks pollen off newly budding flowers, and we start to feel an itch. Is it that spring itch? Probably not; it\u2019s probably sunburn.<\/p>\n

As we shed our winter skin and prepare for the spring and summer months, it\u2019s time to have conversation about skincare, for you and your clients.\u00a0 Three letters: S.P.F.<\/p>\n

So, why is it so important? Glad you asked. We obviously know that the UVA and UVB rays from the sun are what cause sunburn, but what does that actually mean in the grand scheme of your skin\u2019s health. You get premature wrinkles, your skin ages faster, and most importantly, it can lead to permanent skin damage\u2014even skin cancer. With skin cancer being the most common type of cancer, it\u2019s easy to understand why you would want to use SPF in your own skincare routine as well as your clients.\u2019 So, TBC<\/em> has compiled a few tips below on how to incorporate sunscreen into your personal and professional life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apply at least 30 Minutes Before Sun Exposure<\/strong><\/p>\n

The effects of SPF aren\u2019t instant, so you need to give it time to bind to the client\u2019s skin. The 30 minutes allows for the skin to absorb the ingredients and maximize the use of the sunscreen.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Make Sure Your Suncreen has an SPF of at least 15<\/strong><\/p>\n

Any lower and it won\u2019t actually protect the skin. The higher the number, the stronger the protection, and the longer it protects the skin. Keep this in mind when it comes to reapplication (if needed).<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Find Makeup or Skincare that Has it Already Included<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The easiest way to remember to put on SPF is when you don\u2019t have to. A lot of daily moisturizers as well as foundations have sun protection in them already, and it will say so on the bottle.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Use It Even if It\u2019s Cloudy<\/strong><\/p>\n

UV rays still travel through clouds. Sometimes, even more so than when it\u2019s not cloudy. Regardless of weather, you need to protect your skin. So, work your SPF into your daily routine.<\/p>\n

The moral of the story? No matter your skin tone or skin type, everyone needs some kind of sunscreen, and this rule includes clients<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
