It’s time for a regime change (and not just because it’s election season!) Ditch the heavy creams and stock up on sunscreen!
I am using SkinCeuticals Foaming Cleanser. Be sure you cleanse away all that sunscreen at the end of the day!
SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic serum is a must year-round! You must read the research on this amazing product…it provides 8x photoprotection, reduces sunburn cells up to 96% in UV irradiated skin, & prevents thymine dimers (DNA mutations associated with skin cancer).
Daily Moisture is a great product for the p.m. summer regime. It minimizes pores & hydrates without greasiness (so it’s also great under makeup!)
The face, neck and chest need lots of protection if you’re going to prevent sun damage & wrinkles. I like SkinCeuticals Ultimate UV Defense SPF 30. It works well under makeup for daily use & doesn’t cause breakouts!
If you have any spots from past sun damage, have your derm check them out. Ask about a 4% hydroquinone lightener, like the one from Dermesse (available at reNew Medispa…you can learn all about this line at our Hautemommas’ Night Out on June 12th). If your skin is sensitive to this ingredient, SkinMedica and SkinCeuticals make great hydroquinone-free lighteners.

Thank goodness for this product. We scheduled a last-minute
vacay for next week and I’ll have to miss my color appointment. So, instead of my usual 5 week interval, I’ll have to go 7 weeks…not good.
Quick tint to the rescue! It’s a genius instant hair root touch up pen that lasts through 2 or 3 shampoos (or until you remove it with baby oil). Dab color (there are 10 shades…even blonde) on a small comb and distribute through roots.
