As we move into the summer months, we will be talking about SPF more regularly. Sunscreen is the most important step in any skincare regimen. It’s essential for any and all skin types, colors, and conditions. As living organisms, we need the sun to survive and thrive, but it can have downsides as well. UV rays can be incredibly damaging to our skin and cause long term issues. These issues may be as small as dehydration or hyperpigmentation, all the way to larger concerns like skin cancer. While many forms of skin cancer are treatable, melanoma can be deadly. Safe sun practices will always be the key to enjoying summer fun and sunscreen is the most important practice you can have!

Amarte Ultra Veil SPF 50

This month’s featured product is brand new to this spa, but I quickly fell in love. Amarte’s Ultra Veil SPF 50 is a lightweight, fluid sunscreen. It provides both physical and chemical sun filters to provide the ultimate coverage. It’s water and sweat resistant up to 40 minutes so it’s a great product to toss in your bag and take out with you wherever you go. You’ll love its consistency and light tropical smell.

Amarte Ultra Veil is formulated with a blend of 6 botanical extracts. These include gingko biloba nut extract, mesima mushroom, roobios, tormentil root, skullcap, and wild thyme. These ingredients work together to provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. They also provide protection against free radical damage and condition the skin. Antioxidants can also improve the firmness in your skin by promoting collagen and elastin production; two structures of the skin that UV damage directly impacts. This sunscreen contains caviar extract, which works to provide hydration, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to keep your skin functioning at its best. It gives the skin a beautiful radiance and protects your collagen and elastin.

Why I love this sunscreen:

• Your skin is adequately protected with the blend of chemical and physical sun filters
• The light smell, to me it smells like pineapple!
• The nourishing botanical extracts
• The light, fluid consistency that’s easy and comfortable to apply
• The glow is on another level

At the end of the day, the SPF that you’ll wear is the best SPF for you, but I do believe you’ll love this one! Dry, dull skin types love this product but it’s great for anyone. Amarte Ultra Veil SPF is now available in person or through our online store so pick yours up today!
