SOS! Save Our Skin! Melanoma Awareness with La Roche Posay sunscreens

Hi ya Gorgeous,
 I'm sharing this which was shared with me to help keep you mindful of the need to protect your skin with sunscreen.
I'm getting ready to work outside, in the Arizona heat, for a little over two weeks...straight. I'm waiting on a sample of the product to demonstrate it for you, though in the mean time, please read and take action on getting some sunscreen to protect yourself and your children!

Some of you may be going out for some major Cinco de Mayo partying..whatever you choose to do, please be safe with yourself and make good choices. Like wear sunscreen and if you have had too many margaritas, take an Uber!

Melanoma Monday, a day dedicated to raise awareness of this potentially deadly disease. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer and it’s reported that one person dies from melanoma every hour. It’s crucial to raise awareness and help spread the word about the importance of sun protection.

La Roche-Posay is a worldwide leader known for its expertise in UV protection. Now in its sixth year, La Roche-Posay continues its SOS – Save Our Skin Campaign to not only inform Americans about the dangers of UV rays and the importance of sun safety, but to also encourage true behavioral change, such as incorporating sun protection in their daily routines and visiting their dermatologists for regular skin checks. In partnership with the Women’s Dermatologic Society (WDS), the SOS – Save Our Skin campaign lives through a series of initiatives, including skin checks at sporting events, local hospitals and drug stores. To learn how to do a self-check and choose the right protection, visit www.sossaveourskin.com.

NEW La Roche-Posay Anthelios Clear Skin Dry Touch Sunscreen ($19.99/ Drugstores nationwide): Introducing Anthelios Clear Skin Dry Touch Sunscreen – advanced broad spectrum protection that is a 100% oil-free formula, offering a dry-touch texture that won’t cause breakouts. The innovatie formula contains the brand’s patented Cell-Ox Shield Technology, which is a synergistic combination of UVA/UVB filters for broad spectrum SPF 60 protection and a powerful antioxidant complex to protect against damaging free radicals that can accelerate skin aging. Additionally, it contains perlite (a naturally occurring volcanic glass that is able to absorb up to 2.5x its weight in water & oil) and silica (which has the ability to absorb significant amounts of oil) so skin is left soft, matte and protected for hours after use.

NEW La Roche-Posay Anthelios 50 Mineral Daily Tone Correcting Primer ($39.99/Drugstores nationwide): Developed with dermatologists to help prevent further UVA induced damage and visibly conceal existing skin tone discolorations that can also be attributed to sensitivity. The Anthelios 50 Mineral Daily Tone Correcting Primer is formulated with Cell-OX Shield™, which provides 100% mineral broad spectrum protection and creates a soft focus effect on skin. The breakthrough formula is tinted to help those with light to medium skin tones conceal uneven skin tone issues triggered by UV exposure including visible sun damage, redness, dark spots, acne marks, melasma. The innovative optical blurring technology produces a soft-focus effect to provide skin with an even canvas. Wear this primer alone or under any type of makeup or foundation to help build coverage.

Melanoma Monday with Neutrogena dermatologist recommended sunscreens

Hello Gorgeous! Happy Monday! Melanoma Monday to be exact.

Did you know... the sun is actually brighter now than it was four centuries ago?

 

The sun is getting brighter, there is less protective ozone and people are spending more time outdoors. And, due to global climate changes, the spring season starts earlier and fall arrives later. This means we are exposed to more dangerous UV rays now than in earlier decades. 

 

Melanoma, the most deadly form of skin cancer, is the most preventable type of cancer but is still on the rise.  Help raise awareness by wearing ORANGE on “Melanoma Monday,” Monday, May 6, and encouraging your readers to do the same.

 

Not all broad spectrum sunscreens are created equal. Check out these six sunscreens our dermatologists recommend for surviving the summer season and beyond.

 

 

1.       NEUTROGENA® Beach Defense™ Sunscreen Lotion Broad Spectrum SPF 30: Provides beach strength broad spectrum UVA/UVB sun protection in a lightweight, fast absorbing formula, ideal for outdoor skin protection of the active family.

2.       NEUTROGENA® Ultra Sheer® Body Mist Sunscreen: Stabilized with Helioplex® Technology, providing superior balanced broad-spectrum protection against UVA-aging and UVB-burning rays in an ultra-light, non-greasy finish.

3.       NEUTROGENA® Wet Skin Kids Lotion Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 45+: Developed with a technology that is designed to cut through water to apply directly to wet skin with minimal whitening or dripping off.

4.       NEUTROGNA® Clear Face Liquid Lotion Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 55: Specially designed to provide superior sun protection without causing breakouts on acne-prone skin.

5.       NEUTROGENA® Age Shield™ Face Lotion Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 110: Skin conditioners hydrate and replenish skin as the lightweight lotion absorbs quickly for a fresh, non-greasy feel, protecting your face and helping to maintain a youthful appearance every time you wear it.

6.       NEUTROGENA® MicroMist® Airbrush Sunless Tan: For those looking to avoid the rays, this one-touch continuous spray works at any angle to tan hard-to-reach places--even your back. It dries fast and won't clog pores.

 

 I love the Neutrogena brand for my family-white dog with a pink nose included! You can get these products at the Walmart, Targret and major drugstores everywhere.

Remember to reapply! Often!
