FALL SUN CARE

t's that time of year again when it's dark when we wake up and dark when we get home, but that doesn't mean you should forget about your sunscreen!

Even during cold cloudy days, the sun can still cause damage. Sitting in a car, the sun still penetrates the windows and will cause cellular damage, even the blue light from your computer has harsh effects on your skin. In the winter, the snow can reflect almost 80% of the harmful UV light from the sun so you're getting sun from above and below. Double exposure means double the risk for dry aging skin or worse - skin cancer.

Most people dread the idea of having to wear a daily sunscreen but companies like Eminence Organic Skin Care, Elta MD and Miracle 10 make it easy to continue protecting your skin. Options vary from tinted to non-tinted, organic to medical-grade and they aren't all heavy summertime creams. Take a look at our favourites below!

EltaMD sunscreens help prevent sunburn and decrease the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun, when used with other sun protection measures. EltaMD sunscreens are formulated with transparent zinc oxide and are noncomedogenic, sensitivity-free, fragrance-free and paraben-free. Available in Tinted.
