Avon skin so soft sunscreen is one of the best I have ever used. We use it all the time and we always have bug guard around too for those nights around the camp fire. It is a great time to stock up on these products as we have some sunscreen for sale right now! Skin so soft is one of Avon's best sellers. Don't pass this up. I have added some information from Science World below about how sunscreen works.

The seasons are changing and we’re trading our toques for visors, rain boots for sandals, and umbrellas for sunscreen. But wearing sunscreen isn’t just a summer routine, it’s a great way to protect your skin from ultraviolet (UV) radiation throughout the year.  

Types of sunscreen 

There are two types of sunscreen: physical sunscreens, which contain either titanium dioxide or zinc oxide and reflect UV rays away from the skin, and chemical sunscreens which contain chemicals that absorb the sun’s UV rays before it penetrates the skin.  

Both physical and chemical sunscreens work well and many sunscreens available at stores are usually a combination of the two types. The most important things to look for when purchasing sunscreen are broad-spectrum protection (these protect against both UVA & UVB rays) and SPF (Sun Protection Factor).

What is SPF? 

Sun Protection Factor is a measure of how well sunscreen protects UVB rays from reaching the skin. The higher the number of SPF on your sunscreen, the less UVB rays that penetrate the skin.  

This number is chosen based on how long it takes for the sun to burn the skin (sometimes visible in the form of redness). This means that if it takes your skin 15 minutes to sunburn, using an SPF 30 sunscreen should prevent sunburn for 30 times longer.  

While it is important to be generous in your application of sunscreen and to choose one with SPF 30 or higher, whichever sunscreen you use should be reapplied every two hours.  

Does Everyone Need Sunscreen? 

Studies have shown that overexposure to UV rays can lead to sunburn, skin aging and wrinkling and skin cancer in all skin types and dermatologists recommend sunscreen as a way to help combat that.  

Dermatologists assert that both physical and chemical sunscreens are safe to apply and should also be worn indoors because UVA rays—which have a longer wavelength and can penetrate deeper into the skin—can pass through windows as well.  

When picking a sunscreen, make sure it is one you feel comfortable wearing. If you have sensitive skin, you might prefer a fragrance-free sunscreen. If you don’t want your skin to feel greasy, you could choose a sunscreen that is fast drying.  

Whether you go for a physical sunscreen or a chemical sunscreen, SPF 30 or SPF 45, the best sunscreen for you is one that you’ll wear regularly.

A treat for your hair

I have to rave about something. Everyone who knows me personally knows that my hair is very thick, very curly and frizzy especially at the ends. I decided to try our shampoo, conditioner and leave in serum made with honey. Here is the ingredients just in the shampoo. "• Propolis (tree sap plus beeswax) - Contains minerals, vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants to help restore weak and brittle hair. • Honey (made by bees from the nectar of flowers) - Helps restore moisture. • Royal jelly (the food of bees) – Helps lock in shine and restore hair’s natural luster. Made in Korea" So I decided to try it and I used it once yesterday and let my hair air dry and today I actually can wear it down, the frizz is not there and it is so soft and manageable. I highly recommend this for anyone with damaged hair or color treated hair, it is like a treat for your hair. SHOP NOW

Good skin care is the key

  Avon has one of the largest and highest quality skin care regimens. Having a quality routine will set you up to have younger, firmer, glowing skin.  "Why is good skin care important? Good skin care is important for the following reasons: It helps your skin stay in good condition:   You’re shedding skin cells throughout the day, so it’s important to keep your skin glowing and in good condition. An effective routine can help prevent acne, treat wrinkles, and help keep your skin looking its best. Your skin will look more youthful:   As you age, your skin’s cells turn over more slowly, make it look duller and less radiant. Using a quality skin care line can help remove dead skin cells so your body will replace them with newer, more youthful cells. Prevention is easier than correction:   Preventing skin problems is easier -– and less costly – than trying to fix them in the future.  Your self-confidence will get a boost:  When your skin looks better, you’l...
