After surviving a harsh winter, nothing makes our team happier than those first few days of summer. The sunshine! The warmth! Pure happiness.
But before you pack up and head out for summer adventures, make sure you grab some sunscreen.
Sun protection is a must year-round (even during the winter), but it’s especially important during the summer months, when the sun’s UV rays are at their most powerful.
There are so many options out there for SPF these days, and part of our job at Cole’s is to make sure we are only carrying the best of the best in terms of products. We want your skin to stay protected, for sure … but we also want your SPF to work extra hard, improving your skin and keeping it healthy at the same time!
Our favorite SPF product is IMAGE Skincare’s Daily Prevention Advance Smartblend Mineral Moisturizer with SPF 75. This physical sunscreen sits on top of your skin and reflects UV rays before your skin can even absorb them. It’s also color-correcting — it soothes, neutralizes redness, and boosts hydration to reinforce the skin’s vital moisture barrier. Best yet, it contains antioxidants to give you an awesome all-over glow!
Of course, you need to pair your facial SPF with all-over body coverage. A great option is IMAGE’s Sheer Matte Moisturizer with SPF 30. It combines both mineral and chemical sunscreen filters, so it doesn’t leave behind a white cast! It’s also great for people who deal with oily and blemish-prone skin, smoothing your skin’s appearance and helping to minimize shine.
For re-application on the go, we love IMAGE’s Daily Prevention Protect and Refresh Mist with SPF 40. It’s a hydrating dry-oil sunscreen spray for quick and easy touchups that goes on clear, giving you a barely-there feel. Perfect for putting over your makeup and refreshing your UV protection throughout the day, and great for those easy-to-forget spots like your hair part, the tips of your ears, and the tops of your hands and feet.
Stop into your nearest Cole’s today to grab these summer must-haves, so your skin is protected while you have your fun in the sun!
