Switch for Spring!
For many of us, Spring means a refresh, a re-do and a re-charge. We wear lighter clothes, eat lighter, healthy meals, and enjoy the fresh and delicate scents of the newly blooming flowers in the warm spring breeze. Now is the perfect time to change up our moisturizing routine and opt for lighter, fresher products to compliment the changing of the seasons.
Below are moisturizer Spring switch recommendations:
If you currently use . . .
- Tropical Vanilla Day Cream: Make the switch to Red Currant Protective Moisturizer for a lighter daytime cream that will still protect your skin from harmful sun rays.
- Calm Skin Chamomile Moisturizer: Tone and soothe with Rosehip Whip Moisturizer
- Rosehip Whip Moisturizer: Try out the Echinacea Recovery Cream which feels light but still works to repair the signs of aging.
- Rosehip Triple C+E firming oil: The Facial Recovery Oil has Clary Sage and Ylang Ylang, which are both excellent skin balancers.
- Using Facial Recovery Oil? Try Clear Skin Probiotic Moisturizer to reduce inflammation.
Don’t forget about night time…
- Using Monoi Age Corrective Night Time? Swap that for the Bright Skin Overnight Correcting Cream to help your skin recover while you rest.
Most SPFs are harmful – use mineral SPF:
The most important step to take for your skin – especially with the warmer weather ahead of us – is to use a mineral moisturizer. Anjou Spa vets and carries SPFs that are healthy to be absorbed by your skin tissue. Mineral SPFs create a physical barrier between your skin and the sun, while other SPFs use chemicals which are absorbed into the skin. Recent studies show that many SPFs use chemicals that create allergies, are endocrine disruptors, estrogenic and may interfere with thyroid and other hormone processes in the body. Ironically, they also contribute to skin cancer instead of preventing it. See how healthy your sunscreen by checking out this website.
Recommendations:
We carry three brands for mineral SPF: Eminence Organics, Juice Beauty and Suntegrity. Molly Morton, our Lead Esthetician, recommends using the Caramel and Vanilla Latte tinted moisturizers or the Sun Defense Minerals, a sweet on-the-go mineral powder brush. Suntegrity is our newest brand and we offer self-tanning, bronzer serum and mineral sunscreen (scented and unscented). Pick up Juice Beauty’s Sport Sunscreen for a water-resistant option up to 80 mins and tinted SPF facial moisturizers.
Our spring skin care motto:
SPF all day, every day. And don’t forget to apply and repeat after water contact and perspiration.
