Skin Care MYTHS: Sunscreen and Moisturizer

STATEMENT: Everyone needs to use a sunscreen and a moisturizer.

Facts: Without a doubt, a sunscreen and a moisturizer are essential for all skin types every day – even those with oily skin. Broad spectrum sun protection is your first defense against the visible signs of aging, and it can literally save your life. Skin cancer is more than just a spot on your skin; depending on the type, it can lead to invasive surgery, and in worst cases, death. In addition to ultraviolet protection, your skin must also be properly hydrated. Look for humectant ingredients such as urea, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin to attract water to the upper layers of the skin, combined with skin-friendly occlusive ingredients, such as zinc oxide, squalane, shea butter, and niacinamide to lock in moisture. Most product lines formulate sunscreens and hydrators for a variety of skin types and conditions, making it simple to keep everyone protected, hydrated, and healthy.
