Everyone knows by now that you get sun exposure, and risk skin damage, every time you go out into the sun, not just when you’re baking at the beach. But I’m willing to bet that most people (especially guys) don’t ever think about putting on a sun block just to walk the dog, or when they’re riding in a car, or walking to the subway. That kind of daily exposure, even if you’re not out in the sun for too long, can seriously damage your skin over time.
If you are one of those people who don’t like to wear sunblock on a daily basis (and I raise my hand as one in the group), a product I have recently tried, liked, and use, is the Mineral Sun Veil SPF 15 by G.M. Collin. The 4 fl. oz. plastic pump bottle contains an unscented sunscreen with 100% mineral filter, and a 12.5% zinc oxide as an active ingredient. The broad spectrum sunblock feels nice–silky, actually, and it doesn’t leave a sticky film. It is good for all skin types, even sensitive skin. I think even reluctant men would feel positive about using it. All of these benefits are a huge plus.
But that’s not all you get with this product: It contains antioxidants that help keep your skin from fine lines and wrinkles from sun damage, If you think of this of this product as an anti-aging, facial moisturizer, and forget for a moment that it also protects your skin from daily exposure to the sun, you may really fall in love with it–and use it.
For those who care, the G.M. Collin Mineral Sun Veil SPF 15 was a 1007 Natural Health Award Winning product. It is paraben, alcohol, PABA, fragrance, and color-free. For those who prefer a chemcial sun protection and who don’t require a high SPF, or those with sensitive skin, this is a great choice not just for Summertime, but all year long.
The Mineral Sun Veil is available at various spas and online web sites with a suggested retail of $28.00. You can learn more about all the G.M. Collin products through the G.M. Collin Web Site.
