YOUR BEST SUMMER SKIN

NEW!  Mary Kay Sun Care Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 50...
 
is here just in time for the summer days!  It's perfect for consumers looking for a high level of sun protection.  Time to head outdoors for some fun in the sun!






Skin Cancer is the No. 1 most common cancer, but fortunately, it is highly preventable.  Scientific studies have determined that daily use of sunscreen can reduce your chances of developing some forms of skin cancer.  You should select a sunscreen that blocks damaging rays, carries SPF of 15 or greater and is easy to apply.  Our Mary Kay Sunscreens do all three!


WHY SUNSCREEN?

A good sunscreen product should be "broad spectrum", containing ingredients that protects against both UVB and UVA rays.

Sunlight contains damaging ultraviolet B and A rays.  UVB rays are typically associated with sunburn; UVA rays cause sunlight-induced premature skin aging, wrinkling and age spots. Both UVB and UVA rays damage skin and can lead to skin cancer.

WHAT IS SPF?

The SPF, or Sun Protector Factor, of sunscreens is calulated by comparing the amount of time needed to cause sunburn on unprotected skin.  The amount of time it takes you to sunburn depends on your skin type, and the SPF number you need depends on how much time you expect to be outdoors.

IS A HIGHER SPF BETTER?

Higher SPF is good for people with highly photosensitive skin but do not provide incrementally more protection.  For example, an SPF70 blocks 98.6% of sunburn damage, only slightly higher than an SPF30 product.  You will also want to know that for daily use particularly on the face, an SPF15 to SPF50 is recommended.

USE & APPLICATION

Be sure to apply sunscreen generously to all exposed areas of skin and pay particularly to the face, ears, hands and arms.

Sunscreens should be reapplied regularly at least every 2 hours or after swimming or perspiration (sweating).  Mary Kay SPF50 Sunscreen is designed to be very water-resistant and is specially formulated for use on the face and body.

To recap, the best sunscreen in the one you actually put on!



So give your skin the protection it deserves, keeping it beautiful and healthy!

Expert insight from Dr. Beth Lange, Mary Kay Chief Scientific Officer
"Studies have shown that night is the best to replenish the skin's dermal matrix and restore the skin barrier by giving skin what it needs to help it recover and restore itself from the stresses of everyday life."

"The actual size of our pores doesn't change as we age.  We talk about pores becoming larger, but in reality they're just more visible due to a slackening of the pore walls.  While it's not biologically possible to shrink the size of pores, you can minimize the appearance using TimeWise Moisture Renewing Softener."


AGELESS BEAUTY





Awaken your skin's age-fighting potential with TimeWise special Night Treatment products, boost and activate collagen, recover from daily damage and wake up to beautiful skin!




Being TimeWise:

Tip #1: The importance of a Beauty Sleep

Sleep is important for skin, just as it is important for overall physical and mental health and wellness.  The skin needs rest to recover from stress of the day: sun exposure, environmental pollution and so on.  Studies have shown that night is the best time to replenish the skin.

Get a good night's sleep, at least 7-8 hours and use the right skincare products at night to moisturize, restore and recover from the day's damage.  TimeWise Night Restore & Recover Complex and TimeWise Night Solution are the perfect nighttime partners for your skin!

Tip #2: Boosting Skin Renewal

As we age, skin's ability to renew itself and push out dead cells slows down.  It is important to have a regular exfoliation routine, at least 2x a week to maintain a healthy glow.  TimeWise Microdermabrasion is ideal for this.

Step 1: Refine contains tiny exfoliating crystals that immediately energize the skin, nourishing it, increasing oxygen and stimulating circulation.  It also reduces appearnace of pores by removing dead skin cells that form around them.

Step 2: Replenish softens and brings balance back, while also nourishing and protecting.

Use both to maintain that radiant, youthful glow!

DEAR LASHES, I LOVE YOU!




Mascara: Friend or foe?
Some women struggle in a love-hate relationship with their mascara.  While it helps lashes stand out, it can also sometimes look a bit overdone.  We've all seen it: a beautiful look ruined by clumpy, heavy-looking lashes that are smudged, flaky and in a word - disastrous.  While terrible lashes can ruin your look, fabulous lashes can take your look to another level.  Well-defined, lush lashes make any look appear more polished.  And when they are free from clumps, smears and flakes, they look healthier and more natural-looking.  That's where the right mascara comes in.

Formula + Brush = Mascara Perfection
Your mascara formula should work with its mascara brush to get the lash look you love - perfect, well-defined lashes.  For lashes with perfect definition and volume, the best brush for the job is a flexible, sculpted brush that can separate and coat even the fine, hard-to-reach lashes.  Combine that with a water-resistant formula, developed with strong pigments for deep color - you've got the perfect recipe for lashes that say "look at me" in all the right ways.  So if you can also find a formula that actually strengthens and conditions your lashes while it flirts, separates and volumizes them, that's a mascara you can't live without.

Key Ingredients
Panthenol-Pro Complex - This exclusive complex contains Pro Vitamin B5 (panthenol) and phytantriol, ingredients commonly used in shampoos and conditioners that together attract moisture from the air and bind it to hair.  When used in mascara, this complex adds moisture to eyelashes and helps make the mascara easier to apply.

Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate) - An antioxidant known for its moisturizing and conditioning benefits.
