Sunscreen in products is not just for the summer months—it can be used all year around. To prevent aging caused by UV rays, sunscreen should be used every day of the year, even if it is a cloudy and you're not even planning on going outside.

Sunscreen in products is not just for the summer months-it can be used
all year around. To prevent aging caused by UV rays, sunscreen should be
used every day of the year, even if it is a cloudy and you're not
even planning on going outside. | I did some research about the importance of SPF on your skin, lips and hair-and each is affected differently by the sun. I also gathered up some products I think your clients will find very useful for everyday SPF wear that you might want to recommend: | |

COOLA Liplux – Make sure to put SPF on your lips too! The lips
are very thin and more prone to aging caused by sun exposure than other
parts of the body. Not only can lips get sunburned, but repeated sun
exposure can lead to lip cancer. Liplux is a USDA-certified all-in-one
lip treatment that is highly concentrated with certified organic and
active ingredients. It includes fruit butters like organic raspberry and
avocado, aloe vera, shea butter, jojaba oil and rose hips. | ||

The sun's light waves are categorized by their intensity. There are
three categories of light waves. These are UVA, UVB and UVC. The UVA and
UVB can both damage the hair in a variety of ways. It can cause
permanent damage to the outside covering of the hair, which is the
cuticle, and it can penetrate into the center of the hair, which is the
cortex. | ||
