UV Safety Awareness Month is a time dedicated to educating people about the dangers of ultraviolet (UV) radiation and the importance of protecting our skin every day. While many of us associate sun protection with vacations and beach days, UV exposure happens year-round and is one of the leading contributors to premature aging, hyperpigmentation and skin cancer.
UV Safety Awareness Month was created to encourage education around sun-safe habits, regular skin checks and the daily use of sunscreen. At K.R. Mallak Salon & Spa, this is a conversation we have every day because protecting your skin is one of the most important investments you can make in its long-term health.
More Than Just Sunscreen
If you've spent any time with our skincare team, you've probably heard us rave about Colorescience and for good reason.
While many sunscreen products focus solely on UV protection, Colorescience products are designed to defend against multiple environmental stressors through their proprietary EnviroScreen® Technology. Their formulas help protect skin from UVA and UVB rays, blue light, pollution and infrared radiation while also incorporating antioxidants and skin-supporting ingredients. Many of their products use 100% mineral sunscreen actives, including zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, to provide broad-spectrum protection.
A few Colorescience facts we love:
• Their iconic Brush-On Shield SPF 50 is the only powder sunscreen recommended by The Skin Cancer Foundation for active use.
• Many of their formulas contain iron oxides, which help provide protection against blue light exposure (a growing concern for pigmentation-prone skin and melasma sufferers).
• Their products go beyond sun protection by incorporating antioxidants and skin-supporting ingredients to help defend against free radical damage caused by environmental stressors.
