According to the journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, a study concluded that sunscreen, when compared to the preventative effects of powerhouse OTC ingredients such as wrinkle-fighting antioxidants, skin-plumping hyaluronic acid and skin lightening-hydroquinone, is THE most biologically active ingredient in skin care products.

So what does that mean? It means that sunscreen, more so than any other skin care product sold over-the-counter, has the ability to prevent wrinkles and premature skin aging.

I’ve talked about the importance of sunscreen many, many times, but this study really confirms the power that sunscreen can make on your skin. So even if you’re someone that likes to keep your skin care routine to a few easy steps, making sure that applying sunscreen is one of them can make a world of difference for your skin and how it will age!

  1. Speaking of sunscreen…will your new sunscreen contain both chemical and physical sunscreens? Have you thought about doing a blog topic on the differences and safety of the two? I’d love to hear your thoughts. :)

  2. Hi Ashly, We are still in testing phase of possible new sunscreens–one has just physical and one has both. It’s taking a lot longer than expected so we are actually coming back out with our original formula for now and then will launch our new and improved formula at a later date. As for doing a blog topic on the differences, thanks for the suggestion! -Renee
