I am sure you are thinking, well, girl, this would be beneficial more in Summer (you know, protecting your skin and stuff), but let me just say that protecting your skin from sun is crucial throughout the whole year.
I was that kind of person, that I knew that it is important, but sometimes I just forgot and didn't feel guilty about it. Well, not everyone is wearing sun protection everyday and their skin is just fine. But whenever I had clients who loved sun, didn't use sun protection you could tell, that their skin just didn't look that great.
Obviously still that meant a difference for me until I got a skin check by this Facial assessment which is like a machine that takes pictures of the skin and compares your results with people in your age, same gender and skin type, taking the test and scoring you with percentage (the higher the better).
Most of my results were pretty good except for UV SPOTS and BROWN SPOTS. And that got me thinking. Even though I am really trying to take care of my skin, I need to make sure I am getting protected from the sun ALWAYS. Because even though there is no sun, there is UV rays chasing your skin.
So I made a promise to myself using a sun protection everyday. I love my City block spf40. Even though it is an extra step, I make sure I use it. Making sure that in the future I will not get any discolouration on my skin because of my previous bad choices.
The last thing, I know it may seem a little excessive using spf 40 everyday, but at least I don't have to worry if it is sunny out or if my sunprotection is enough. Because you should have at least SPF 20 on a EVERYDAY BASIS. (Make sure though that your spf has UVA and UVB protection;))
I hope I helped some of you, just reminding you that it MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
PS: I got my skin analysis done in Whole foods where they sell their natural skincare lines but have seen the same one also on Elemis counter, so if you would like to know how you stand, I would definitely check it out:)
