We’ve heard it all before...

“I don’t wear sunscreen because it is: too greasy, makes me breakout, leaves a white-cast, doesn’t sit well under makeup... don’t have time!”

In light of melanoma awareness month we are dedicated in helping you find the perfect SPF for your skin type and concerns. Sunscreen does not have to involve a thick, greasy and unpleasant application!
Here are some of our favourites:

☀️TiZo 2 / TiZo 3 SPF 40!
This sunscreen provides the perfect lightweight texture and blends into the skin with a matte finish. You’ll barely be able to tell there is a trace of SPF on the skin! It comes in an untinted and tinted formula depending on if you would like a bit of light coverage to lightly blend away any redness.

☀️Skinceutical’s Physical Fusion / Sheer Physical SPF 50!
This sunscreen has a non-irritating and light weight, milky texture so it won’t cause clogged pores! It comes in a tinted and non-tinted formula depending on your preference.

☀️Dermalogica Invisible Physical Defense SPF 30!
Invisible, weightless defense that blends easily on skin, featuring only non-nano Zinc Oxide. Say goodbye to thick, white residue with this physical SPF formula that provides added blue light protection and helps soothe away the effects of environmental aggressors!

☀️Dermalogica Skin Perfect Primer SPF 30!
Smooth fine lines, brighten and prime for flawless skin, and prep for make-up application. Velvety formula with Soy Protein helps even out skin texture, creating a smoother surface. Pearl Powder and natural earth minerals provide a neutral tint for visible luminosity, radiance and more even skin tone!

☀️iSClinical Eclipse SPF 50!
Formulated specifically for daily use and extended outdoor activities, ECLIPSE SPF 50+ is a unique fusion of scientifically advanced physical sunscreens - transparent titanium dioxide and micronized zinc oxide - coupled with pure vitamin E. This SPF is an ultra-sheer, lightweight formula that absorbs quickly for a non-greasy matte finish and can double as your AM moisturizer!

Which one will you choose?!🧴

On the first Monday of May, we recognize national Melanoma Awareness Day. From Monday May 3rd to Sunday May 9th, we also recognize National Sun Awareness Week. As Skin Therapists, we care deeply about this time. Skincare is our speciality, and we must not overlook skin health while continuing to educate our clients, family and friends to and perform regular skin checks.

Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer, and more than 90% of melanomas are caused by UV light from the sun. Skin cancer is also the most common cancer in the world, and can most often be prevented with proper sun protection. Prevention and early detection can help save lives.

During the month of May, keep an eye out for more social media posts from The Humber Spa discussing this topic. We will touch on the different SPF products we love and carry in our retail boutique - we promise to help you find the perfect SPF that you’ll live, no matter your skin type! We will also discuss how to perform an at home skin analysis and what to look out for, as well as some sun protection myths and more!
