Summer Essentials by True Natural to Protect your Skin
Summer means more time outdoors, so you’ll want your skin to be protected from sun damage and not compromise on style. Pack all the must have summer essentials of True Natural to keep your skin and nails hydrated, glowing, and safe. The purest, chemical-free beauty products, True Natural takes its commitment to pure ingredients seriously. All products featured and sold by True Natural use only safe, natural ingredients — never any petrochemicals, synthetic preservatives, colors or fragrances. Most items are gluten-free and no animal testing is done on any products.
UV rays change with time of day, season and location. Here are some interesting facts to keep in mind when planning your outdoor activities this summer:
- Time of Day: UV is greatest when the sun is at its highest in the sky — between 10 am and 4 pm — and less in the early morning and late afternoon.
- Seasonal: While UV exposure is greatest in the summer (May—August) in the U.S., it’s important to remember UV rays reach Earth every day, so be sun safe year-round—including wintertime! Snow can reflect 85% to 90% of the sun’s UV rays.
- Altitude: UV exposure is greater in the mountains than in the valleys because air is cleaner and thinner at higher altitudes
- Location: UV is strongest at the equator and gets weaker moving towards the poles.
- Exposure: The longer you’re out in the sun, the more UV rays you receive; remember, you are exposed whenever you’re outside.
Pack these summer essentials from True Natural:
- When out and about in the sun, keep your complexion in check with the all-natural BB Cream, a facial cream and light foundation with 8-in-1 skin benefits. Natural pigments and nourishing oils smooth, soften and deeply hydrate the skin while color pigments conceal redness and skin irritation.
- Instantly shield against damaging UVA and UVB rays with the Ultra Protect SPF Antioxidant Sunscreen, a vegan and gluten-free antioxidant sunscreen made for even the most sensitive skin. The all-natural sunscreen is a gentle blend of mineral-based actives and astaxantin to provide the ultimate in safe anti-oxidant sun protection.
- Give your skin a sunglow kiss with Benecos Natural Fresh Bronzing Duo: Ibiza Nights, which mixes fresh, rose-colored blush with brown, light-reflecting bronzer to create a perfectly contoured sunshine glow.
- Show off gorgeous tanned legs and arms without UV or cancer risk with Self Tanner with Shimmer, a deeply hydrating self-tanning lotion with organic macadamia nut oil that hydrates the skin. Lightweight and fast absorbing, it creates a gorgeous shimmer-glow and a medium tan in just 3 hours, and usually the tan lasts up to one week.
