Sunscreen has been in the news…but not in a good way.
Recently the FDA has warned that some people wearing spray-on sunscreen near a flame have suffered burns. But that’s not the only reason to stay away from the spray. Tune in to the latest webisode of Skinpact News, “Spray-on Sunscreen Controversy,” to learn from Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields what type of sunscreen you should be using—and the best way to apply it safely.
Reasons people are Excited about Rodan + Fields and becoming an entrepreneur with the Doctors that created Proactiv®:

The thin skin on lips is particularly sensitive and vulnerable to showing signs of dryness and aging, conditions which are exacerbated by the sun. And chances are that the remnants of summer sunburns, chlorine and salt water, combined with September’s changing temperatures, aren’t doing them any favors.
Treating chapped lips can be tricky. Although a recent study found that almost 60% of women 35-44 reported wearing lip gloss daily, layering on gloss won’t help cure dry, flaky lips. That’s because lip gloss is primarily a cosmetic, designed to color lips and add shine. While most formulas might temporarily help soothe and disguise dry lips, they aren’t formulated to improve the quality of lips over time.
1) Most important when you’re battling dry lips is to resist licking and picking the area, which will only make matters worse.
2) Instead, gently exfoliate lips with a conditioning product to remove dead skin cells. This will help your moisturizer better do its job.
3) Then, use a balm that contains lipid molecules, antioxidants and dimethicone to improve skin, lock in moisture and protect the delicate moisture barrier.
4) Make sure to select a balm that contains broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect against UVA and UVB rays. Your (previously parched) pucker will thank you.
If you’ve sweated it out at the gym with a little foundation, you’re not alone. A recent British study found that more than 65 percent of women wear makeup to work out. And we get it. You might not have enough time to wash off your makeup before you jet to Zumba after work, or maybe you just want to look your best in your a.m. spin class, but unfortunately, wearing makeup to the gym can make skin worse.
It’s a classic Catch-22: The more makeup you wear to the gym, the greater risk you have for clogged pores, blackheads and breakouts, which means the more likely you are to need makeup for your next gym session. And while normally a good idea, even non-comedogenic products aren’t guaranteed to keep you in the clear. These product claims only stand true under the conditions under which these products are tested, and don’t take into account the moisture, heat, salt and repeated wipe-downs with a rough hand towel that happen at the gym.
If you’re working out in the morning, cleanse your face, but avoid any heavy products that will smear and sweat off. If you’re working out after a day of wearing makeup and can’t fully wash your face beforehand, wipe your face with aneye clothas soon as possible after exercising, then wash and treat skin as you normally would. If a little coverage while you sweat is non-negotiable, try mineral peptides, which are more breathable and even offer sunscreen protection if you’re exercising outdoors or near a window.
In the long run, intelligent, daily skincare is the path to looking your best both in and out of the gym.
