Did you know that 1 out of 5 Americans get skin cancer in their lifetime? According to the American Society of Dermatologic Study, it is also the second most common form of cancer for those aged 15 to 29. Was that a bit rough to digest with your morning coffee? Now that we've scared you, here's the solution (it's actually rather simple): Wear sunscreen.
The only way to prevent getting melanoma is to protect yourself from the sun's rays. And if that wasn't reason enough to start wearing sunscreen, let us reach out to your vanity by saying 90 percent of wrinkles are caused by the sun according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. Cue horror music.
In the spirit of loving your skin and protecting it from harmful rays we've compiled the newest sunscreens that boast anti-aging properties, prevent white streaks and repair skin cells along with providing your UVA/UVB broad-spectrum protection. You can thank us later.
Have you heard of the "Shaka Shaka"? No, it's not a new Zumba move -- it's actually a sunscreen technology, which gets its name from the noise the lotion makes when you shake it. "Shaka Shaka" says the little ball inside that, when shaken, combines oil and water together to create a super sheer, matte lotion. It's also packed with white grape polyphenols and vitamin E, which help provide broad-spectrum sun protection to penetrate deep within the epidermis.
While La Roche-Posay also has the "Shaka Shaka" formula, it's infused with a mineral sun filter along with a potent blend of titanium dioxide that gives 100 percent mineral UV protection down to the cellular level along with increased protection against UVA rays. To top it off, this sunscreen also has plant extract, Senna Alata, which protects against cell damage.
Many of the skin care products that we put on our face are filled with artificial chemicals -- until now. Lavanila came out with a line of 100 percent natural sunscreens for the face, body and lips. We particularly like Lavanila's light lip formula that not only offers sun protection, but also gives intense hydration with Shea Butter, natural titanium oxide and zinc oxide. The best part is that it comes in a small jar you can toss it into any handbag and be on your merry, sun-protected way.
Sunscreen and anti-aging? Neova, leader in the clinical research for DNA repair, launched a new sunscreen that features DNA enzymes to reprogram genes. Fancy stuff that basically means it treats damage done to the epidermis and helps protect cells from future damage by enhancing the skin's barrier. As a smart multi-tasker, this product also accelerates recovery from sun-induced damage.
