Summer Skincare Podcast

Always, “News You Can Use” 🙂

Although all year long we should use sunscreen, it seems to be particularly crucial during the hotter weather months when the sun’s rays are more intense. I found a podcast with Dr. Shari Lipner, a dermatologist, who shares valuable insights and expert advice on the importance of skin protection. Sometimes, it’s easier to listen to advice regarding sunscreen tips rather than reading all the variables, especially when she discusses when you should avoid the sun (between 10-2pm). She explains chemical and mineral sunscreens, and how to choose the right SPF for your unique skin type. She emphasizes not only the need for daily application but also the importance of reapplying throughout the day, particularly after swimming or sweating. Take care and stay beautiful with the right protection for your skin and health, as sunscreen is not just a summer necessity but an essential part of your daily skincare routine year-round.
