Today is National Sunscreen Day… who even knew that was a thing? ☀️
But it’s actually a great reminder heading into summer.
I recently heard that tanning bed use is increasing again among young people, likely influenced in part by social media tanning trends. Unfortunately, tanning beds dramatically increase the risk of skin cancer.
If you want that summer glow without damaging your skin, try tinted makeup or a tinted sunscreen instead.
And remember — not all sunscreens are created equal.
Look for mineral-based sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. These ingredients sit on top of the skin, reflect UV rays, and are generally considered safer for both our bodies and the environment.

Also: hats and sunglasses still matter. 😎
What about Vitamin D? During the summer, many people can get enough from just 5–15 minutes of midday sun exposure, depending on skin tone, weather, and location.
Protect your skin now — your future self will thank you!
