Spring weather and that glorious sun has arrived. It is so beneficial and pleasant for us to spend time outdoors, but by incorporating some common-sense protective measures, we can play outside while still minimizing the dangers of exposure to UV radiation.

USE SUNSCREEN that’s effective and safe. We recommend physical sun block or mineral based broad spectrum products with Zinc Oxide to avoid excessive chemical ingredients, that don’t always provide the protection they say. Make sure the SPF is 15 or higher. Buy new sunscreen every year. Re-apply sunscreen every few hours or after being diluted by sweat or water to maintain effective protection. Clear Skin Victoria’s skin care boutique is Victoria’s premier retailer for Keys Solar Rx, SPF 30, the Coola Organic Moisturizing Sun Protection line SPF 30-45 for face and body and Colorescience Sunforgettables SPF 30 Mineral Powder.

Support your immune system by boosting antioxidants internally. Dr. Katie Branter, Clear Skin Victoria’s naturopathic doctor suggests healing and skin strengthening suppements Alkaline C (with buffered Vitamin C and Zinc) or Phyto Antiox (a combination of powerful antioxidants.
