The sun emits super-strong ultra violet (UV) rays that penetrate deep into our skin where they cause irreparable cell damage. This emitted light steadily hammers away at our skin year round, no matter how cloudy the day might be, eventually leading to the signs of photoaging that we know and hate oh so well. (Wrinkles and hyperpigmentation, we’re talking to you.)
Anti-aging sunscreen works by effectively shielding your delicate skin from the harsh, damaging UVA and UVB rays. The best anti-aging sunscreens use mineral formulas that contain active ingredients (such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) which rest on top of the skin, acting like a physical barrier that refracts sun rays.
But more evidence is coming out that suggests anti-aging sunscreen can also improve the appearance of damage caused by the sun, not just prevent it. By applying SPF daily and preventing the accumulation of more and more damage, the skin actually has a chance to heal. With a 28-day cell turnover rate, you might be amazed by the improved texture and tone of your skin after wearing anti-aging sunscreen every day for a month!
Daily SPF is a must, but not all brands are created the same. It’s important to look for chemical-free sunscreen, otherwise you risk applying toxins that are readily absorbed by the skin and enter the bloodstream, or those that are washed off the skin and pollute the environment.
Colorescience offers mineral anti-aging sunscreen made with pure, natural ingredients. Our formula is also rich in antioxidants, which are the perfect counter-partner to the sun’s harmful free radicals. When you shop our line of cosmetics, whether you’re looking for healthy SPF or matte mineral makeup, you receive products formulated to the highest quality in skincare.
