Summer is coming and I spend a lot of time outdoors. Do you have a sunscreen or an SPF moisturizer you recommend?

You know, we get this question regularly. Chaé launched an absolutely fabulous Ageless SPF 15 Day Cream last fall. It’s filled with moisturizers and anti-aging ingredients so rich and nutritious that we recommend it be used on the face, backs of hands, décolletage and neck – even your arms.

Remember, even if you’re using the Ageless SPF 15 Day Cream, we need to realize the real issue comes down to maintaining a safe lifestyle while spending time out of doors. . .especially during the Spring through Fall months.

Chaé recommends several ways of managing your skin to allow for healthful sun exposure. First, there is the unbelievably moisturizing Ageless SPF 15 Day Cream to use whenever you are outdoors. Remember to reapply about every two hours.

Then there is our luscious CoQ10 moisturizer which incorporates Sea Buckthorn Berry oils high in omega oils and vitamin nutrition that our skin needs to retain elasticity and overall health. Sea Buckthorn Berry oils make our skin more sun-friendly since it acts on the melanin in the skin. It is melanin that allows us to tan after exposure to the sun.

Equally important is managing the amount of time that you spend in the sun. If we wear a product with an SPF of 15, the rating means that you can remain in the sun 15 times longer with no protection on your skin. Spending a reasonable amount of time outdoors may NOT mean being in the sun for 4-6 hours at a stretch. That is enough time to develop severe sunburn even WITH a sunscreen.

We do expect to have an additional SPF sunscreen product available by early summer. That product will likely carry an SPF 20+ rating and is intended for all family members including babies and small children. Made from clean, green ingredients, it will be certified ToxicFree – assurance of safety for your entire family.
