(Winter) sun protection for your face from StriVectin, Serious Skincare and Kellett!

The biggest mistake we can make in the winter months is to skin the sunscreen. Many people think that because the weather is cold and the days are short that what little sun there is isn't doing any harm to the skin - wrong! Protecting your skin from the sun is the best anti-aging step you can take and it doesn't have to be a pain or mean an extra step, just use a moisturizing/treatment product with a built-in sunscreen like:

StriVectin-AR Advanced Retinol Day Treatment SPF 30 - 50ml - $109 - worried about multiple signs of aging? Then check out this daily multitasker with broad spectrum SPF 30 protection that fights the major signs of aging, including texture, firmness and wrinkles. Combining the patented, scientifically proven NIA-114 molecule to harness the potency of retinol, the gold standard in anti-aging, without the retinol side effects – including skin irritation, peeling, redness and sensitivity.

Available at Murale, Shoppers Drug Mart and The Bay. 

Serious Skincare Serious-C C-Cream Vitamin C Ester Protective Daytime Broad Spectrum Moisturizer SPF 30 - 59ml - $28.50 - a protective daytime broad-spectrum moisturizer featuring 5 Vitamin C Esters and the Colloidosome delivery system, that with regular use, can help reduce the appearance of visible wrinkles for a younger look..

Available at www.seriousskincare.com and The Shopping Channel - www.theshoppingchannel.com.

If you already have a favourite moisturizer that doesn't include a sunscreen, that's easy enough to fix with:

Kellett Skincare SPF 30 Face Sunscreen Lotion - 75ml - $35 - offers oil-free, broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection that is water and sweat resistant.

The formula is super-light and soft and easily layers over your regular moisturizer and also makes a great primer for foundation!

lightweight, spreads well, and hydrates like an overpriced night cream. It feels great under makeup (I apply it right when I wake up all over my face and neck, let it soak in for 20 minutes while I prepare my brekkie) and even over makeup (when I reapply before leaving the office for the day). What’s more, this lotion can actually help fade dark spots over time because it contains licorice root extract, a common anti-inflammatory ingredient found in skin-lightening cosmeceuticals. - See more at: http://theskiny.com/kellett-skincare-sunscreens/#sthash.sHVThtyQ.dpuf
