Protective Beauty for the Great Outdoors
What outdoor activity do you like the most? Camping, hiking, or biking? People utilize the outdoors to reap the stress-relieving benefits of nature. And while spending time in nature contributes to our well-being, the effects can also affect our skin, hair, and body. Bearing this in mind, trending brands offer easy and effective products to shield us from these invaders and adapt. Read on to learn about how you can achieve trending outdoor beauty and wellness.
SPF, hip again
As we look for sunscreens as an essential part of our everyday routines, beauty brands infuse it in skincare and cosmetics. Because rays from the sun and other light sources can cause more damage than you realize when neglecting proper protection. For this reason, putting on SPF that best suits your skin type should become an essential part of your daily routine. We’ve dug up some notable ones:
· ANESSA’s line of sunscreens uses its parent company’s patented Smooth Project Technology to improve sun protection performance. The brand claims to act up to 2.9 times more potent than conventional formulas.
· UK-based brand ZitSticka’s Megashade promises many benefits: protecting against U.V., soothing breakouts, and blocking dark spots.
· US-based Live Tinted’s Hueguard formula includes sunscreen, moisturizer, and primer benefits. The formula protects skin from harmful UVA/UVB rays and blue light. Fans love how the cream blends seamlessly into the skin, gives a natural glow, and leaves no white cast.
Sport Specific
Great news for the outdoor athletes among you: brands are tailoring new products that tend to specific stressors like skiing, swimming, and surfing.
· Brooklyn-based Kinfield’s Ski Weekender protects skiers from wind and sun damage. The bundle includes a tint-free daily mineral sunscreen for broad-spectrum protection. S.O.S. Rescue Mask stands formulated with ceramides and antioxidants to repair wind damage, which can weaken the skin’s natural SPF barrier.
