I get asked a lot of questions about my skin, and to me, that is basically a compliment, because it must mean I am doing something right with my skin! Truth be told, I have been very into skincare since I was in my late teens, and although I haven’t always been amazing at keeping up with my skincare regime, I definitely a have been trying to up my skincare regime game as I enter my 30’s. To me, nothing in your beauty routine matters if you’re not taking care of you skin. But, for some, they just don’t know the key ways to care and maintain good, healthy skin. If that is what you are interested in learning, you’re in luck, because I am here to share the one thing you need in your skincare regime!

In case you haven’t figured it out yet, the one most important thing in anyone’s skincare regime, no matter your age or skin type, is SUNSCREEN. I can’t stress this face enough. Sunscreen is so crucial to maintaining the health of your skin. Even when you think you don’t need to put on sunscreen, you should still put on sunscreen, because some way some how, unless you’re hanging out in a padded room all day, you will encounter the sun. For some, incorporating sunscreen is tough but I have really started being conscious of it because…..

BENEFITS OF SUNSCREEN (in case y’all needed a reminder)

Protects you from UV rays that can cause skin disorders/skin CANCER

Prevents premature aging (wrinkles, sunspots, general old leather bag appearance)

Did I mention….lessens cancer risks?!

Prevents sunburn (it hurts like hell, TRUST)

Ok, its possible I missed some of the benefits of sunscreen, but let’s just be real…nobody wants skin cancer, so its time to get some sunscreen! That’s where EltaMD comes into my skincare regime. I love this sunscreen because it is a great way to incorporate sunscreen into your daily skincare regime and beauty routine. The provide sun/skin care for every season, and their lightweight products are absolutely perfect to use alone or under your makeup, which is how I often use it. Believe it or not, your foundation doesn’t have SPF in it (unless it specifically states it does) so makeup does not protect you from the sun. I’m actually astounded by how many women think that they are protected by their makeup when indeed, they are just exposing their skin to all the sun’s harmful rays.

Another one of EltaMD’s products that I love is their tinted sunscreen. On those days when you just need to get out of the house quickly but still want to have a little tint to your face, this product is the best! It has just a hint of color in it to give you that perfect summer glow, but also has the SPF you need to protect yourself. EltaMD is actually the #1 dermatologist recommended sunscreen brand. It is a mineral based sunscreen formula that feels so light and whippy on your skin, you’re not going to feel gross and sticky in this at all like other sunscreens. I’ve almost used it as a sort of primer to my makeup because the texture is just that great! The coverage is nice and sheer, but your skin will be protected, no matter what the season is, which is so key!
