It’s hot out there, and you’ll need to protect your skin every single day to make sure your skin isn’t damaged by the power rays of the sun. I had the chance to check out a few sunscreens from the Aveeno Positively Ageless sunscreen line. They are powerful and very effective, but still very gentle on my skin. My daughter, who often breaks out in a rash with many sunscreens, is able to wear these with no problem at all.
Want to learn more about preventing sun damage? Here are some QUICK FACTS and TIPS from Dermatologist Jeanine Downie:
§ You should wear a sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher everyday of the year—rain, snow or shine—because your skin is still being exposed to lethal UV rays
§ Many people believe that they will become Vitamin D deficient by wearing sunscreen; according to Dr. Downie, this is false! As a population, we receive more than enough Vitamin D through our diets
§ People with darker skin, often believe that they do not need to wear sunscreen. Again false, says Dr. Downie! The threat of skin cancer exists for all skin tones and races
§ More than 3.5 million skin cancer cases in two million people are diagnosed annually and one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime.
§ The Tour will visit over 80 locations through September where consumers will have the opportunity to receive a FREE full-body skin cancer screenings in a private room inside of the Tour’s 38-foot customized RV, conducted by local dermatologists (Visit skincancer.org for the full tour schedule)
§ Over the past two years, more than 6,500 people have received free screenings, and of those screened, more than 2,000 potential skin cancers and pre-cancers were found, including 116 suspected cases of melanoma
§ The AVEENO® Brand will be distributing samples of CONTINUOUS PROTECTION® Sunblock Lotion SPF 55 as well as the new POSITIVELY AGELESS™ Sunblock Lotion SPF 70 for Face, featuring the latest breakthrough in sun protection: ENVIROBLOCK™ Triple defense technology
§ With longstanding commitment to ACTIVE NATURALS® technology and making sustainable strides, the AVEENO® Brand has partnered with TerraCycle™ to give new life to empty AVEENO® Product tubes by ‘upcycling’ tubes collected at tour stops into eco-friendly items, such as household items, that will then be available for purchase at major retailers nationwide
Disclosure: I received free samples of Aveeno sunscreen at no cost.
