3 Tips for Using Skinceuticals Ultimate Defense SPF 30

Many people, especially those with sensitive skin, are turning to SkinCeuticals Ultimate Defense SPF 30 as a means of sun protection. This sunblock offers broad spectrum protection, including both UVA and UVB protection and is suitable for daily use and high altitudes. Because it uses residue-free zinc rather than the chemicals used in many modern sunscreens, Ultimate Defense is quickly gaining a following. Here are a few tips for using this PABA-free, oil-free, and fragrance-free formulation to protect your skin from the sun.

1. Make It Part of Your Morning Routine


Many sunscreens must be applied over moisturizers and other daily skin care products. Ultimate Defense, however, does not interfere with moisturizers nor contain products that should not be put directly on sensitive skin. Most people get the best result from applying this sunblock before performing the rest of their daily skin regimen. Making sunscreen part of your daily skin care will ensure that you are always protected from harmful rays.

2. Use Liberally


Health scientists estimate that most people don't get the full benefits of sunscreen because they don't apply enough. Many people especially go lightly with zinc-based sunscreens because of the white residue that many of these leave behind. However, Ultimate Defense leaves no white residue so you can apply liberally to get maximum defense without looking like a mime.

3. Protect Your Sun All Year-Round


Many assume that sunscreen is only needed in the summer. However, it is actually required year round. Water (such as puddles) and snow both can create glare that is just as damaging to skin as direct sunlight. In addition, UVA rays are not blocked by clouds and fog so you may be getting more skin damage than you realize on an overcast day. Wearing sunscreen every day is a good health habit that can lead to a lifetime of healthy, youthful, cancer-free skin.

If you follow these three tips, Skinceuticals Ultimate Defense SPF 30 can help you to protect your skin so you never get another sunburn. Protect your skin for good health over your lifetime.
