Summer tips for great skin

Ok, it happened to me the other day, I got sunburnned and boy, did it make me mad! I am always telling my clients how to protect themselves from the sun, and I never thought that it would happen to me.  So, I thought it would be good to go over the basics; follow these few tips on how to enjoy the weather but making sure you protect your skin. Sun protection works IF you apply it! Just don't forget to re-apply after every hour to be safe, this is what happened to me Avoid direct sunlight between 10 AM and 3 PM  these are peak hours when the sun is at its most intense time These are a few misconceptions; cloudy weather won't protect you from the sun, and either will putting a towel or t-shirt over your face.  The sun's UV rays are very powerful and can penetrate through clothing, I have had to scold a few clients on that tip! When you know you are going to be outside, I reccomend putting on a layer of cream or gel sunscreen and then using the micronized minerals over the skin, this will give you double the protection, always wear a hat, and make sure your sunglasses have a UV rating to protect your eyes.
