Sunscreen Everyday, Keeps the Doctor Away

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month and we believe sun protection is a fundamental part of any healthy skincare routine. While getting that summer tan might be tempting, the sun's UV rays can damage your skin leading to premature aging, wrinkles, and even skin cancer. It’s okay to get outside and love the sun, just protect yourself first.

A good sunscreen is your best defense but with so many options it can be confusing. Here are 5 tips for choosing a sunscreen to keep your skin healthy and protected all year round:

 

Oxybenzone-Free and Octinoxate-Free:

Choose a sunscreen lotion that is free of certain chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate. Also look for sunscreens that are paraben free and cruelty free. Dermatone’s line of sport sunscreen lotions are oxybenzone-free, octinoxate-free, cruelty-free, paraben-free and made in the USA. On top of that, they are also sweat and water resistant.

Reef Safe:

If you are headed on a beach vacation this summer, try a zinc-based mineral sunscreen! Dermatone’s mineral line is in compliance with Hawaii Reef Safe Act 104, which prohibits any sunscreens containing oxybenzone and octinoxate. The mineral line is an all natural, zinc formula. Our line contains a Sunscreen Lotion SPF30, hands-free Sunscreen Stick SPF50, Lip Balm with SPF30, and even a Baby Sunscreen Stick SPF50.

SPF Everyday:

Sunscreen isn't just for summer! Sun damage is a year-round threat, accelerating aging and increasing the risk of skin cancer. Choose a sunscreen that will be a part of your daily routine. In the winter, opt for one of our skin protection balms  with SPF23 that protects against sun, wind and cold. In the warmer seasons, try our long-lasting, sweat & water resistant, Sport Sunscreen Lotions in SPF30 or SPF50. Reapply every two hours, or more often if sweating or swimming.

Hydrating & Moisturizing:

No one wants painful, dry, and dehydrated skin. Our sunscreens have a moisturizing formula that helps your skin retain moisture, while protecting from UV rays. Choose the Skin Protection Balm with Zinc SPF30 for an all natural yet hydrating formula. This balm will keep you moisturized all year long and protect from elements like salt, wind, cold, or sun. It is even travel sized, so you can take it on any adventure or put it in your pocket to reapply throughout the day! 

SPF Lip Balms:

One of the most common mistakes is that everyone lathers their body with sunscreen, but forget their lips! The layer of skin on our lips is even thinner than the rest of our body, so it is important to keep them protected with an SPF lip balm. Dermatone has SPF30 lip balms, ranging in flavors from mango, green tea, pomegranate or even mineral. 

 

Choosing a skin protection brand that supports your outgoing, adventurous lifestyle is key. Dermatone supports your biggest ambitions by protecting your largest organ on your body - your skin! The month of May is critical to spread awareness about the dangers of skin cancer. By simply adding sunscreen into your daily skincare routine, it can help eliminate these risks! 


Bring Dermatone along on every trip and there will be many years of outdoor adventures to come. See you Outside!
