Tis the season for beach trips and baecations, but don't forget your sunscreen!
According to the American Academy of Dermatologist (AAD), only about 33% of people in the US apply sunscreen at the recommended rate (every 2 hours while outside). That is not enough ya'll and if my ladies and gents in the cloudy parts of the US think you don't need sunscreen, think again.
UV rays, the energy from the sun that can damage your skin, are present even during cloudy weather. Its not just Houston, Oakland, Miami, and DC that need to wear sunscreen. This "public service announcement" is for Pittsburgh, Seattle, and Buffalo too!
If you want to keep your skin poppin' AAD recommends finding a sunscreen that is broad-spectrum, water-resistant, and is an SPF of at least 30. Also, wearing a hat, UV-protective glasses, and ultra-violent protective factor (UVF) clothing can help you stay safe as well.
So when you pack your brushes, your lashes, your cute shoes, and your relaxing robe that you purchased from our site, remember your sun protection too.
