Nothing ages your skin more quickly, or damages it more than uncensored exposure to the sun. But in the world of Facial SPF’s there are 4 key rules to getting it right:
 
Watch Out For Windows
UVA rays go straight through the glass in your car, your office, your home.

According to Clinical Interventions In Aging a recent study showed that people exposed to sunlight through a window for at least 2 hours per day had facial wrinkles up to 26% larger on the side of the face that was closer to the window.
Even airplane windows offer potential damage (think brown spots and wrinkles) due to the altitude intensified exposure to UVA rays.
Protect your assets by wearing facial SPF every single day, even if you will be in the office all day. Also applying sunscreen to the backs of your hands when driving will help prevent premature age spots from showing up and giving your age away…

Take Sunscreen With You

Applying facial SPF first thing in the morning before you do your makeup is essential, but it won’t last all day.
Keep a spare bottle in your desk at work to touch up with, or if you have makeup on keep a mineral powder SPF  such as ColoreScience SPF50 either in your desk or in your handbag, and make sure you use it!

Are You Applying Enough?
To actually achieve the SPF rating on the label you have to use the right amount, and most people don’t.
Smearing a fingerfull on over your moisturizer won’t cut it. For facial SPF you need to use a teaspoon of product, which should cover your face,ears and throat.

A swimsuit clad body needs 5 full tablespoons of sunscreen, which must be frequently reapplied. The only exception is if you are using a mineral sunblock with micronized titanium or zinc, in which case you would use half that amount.

Reapply!
Lets go over that one more time….
You MUST reapply Facial SPF during the day. We all know about rebooting our coverage when we’re at the beach or by the pool, but you need to get into the habit of reapplying your sunprotection to your face and to your hands during the day.

If you’ve been following this blog you will know that I have absolutely no time whatsoever for skin care products that don’t give you a high speed, discernible result.
If I’m going to use your product you need to wow me very quickly, then keep my skin looking amazing. Otherwise I’m leaving you and moving on.

In my product junkie opinion, most brands don’t live up to their hype. They’re all talk and no action. They lure you in with glossy marketing campaigns and slick packaging, then don’t deliver on their promises.
So when something comes along that really, truly does magic, I tell everyone!

Such is my experience with the amazing Exuviance Vespera Bionic Serum.
Vespera Bionic Serum is a concentrated intensive treatment serum that works wonders on stressed skin, tired skin, pretty much everyone’s skin.

This one was developed by Dermatologists, has alpha hydroxy and poly-hydroxy acids, pro vitamins A, C and E and powerful antioxidants to protect the skin from environmental oxidative damage. (think pollution, harsh climate etc).
It visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles, improves texture and has been clinically proven to improve clarity by 212% in just 6 weeks.
 You can use it daily under your moisturizer to boost its performance, and it is also complementary to glycolic peels, microdermabrasion, non ablative laser treatments. Formulated with marine botanicals it is ideal for all skin types, even the most sensitive.

Normally I shut down when they start throwing out percentages, but I can honestly say the difference in my skin has been astounding. And I have pretty good skin to start with.
What I saw  in the first week with my own skin was a drastic change in the texture and clarity. My skin firmed up, looked smoother, and just glowed. It looks super healthy. To the point where I have scarcely worn any foundation for the past few weeks. (even with good skin I love wearing foundation, so this has been a big change for me).

In my product obsessed mind this is the next generation of skin care.
Its fabulous.
