Ditch Your Outdated Sunscreen: There’s a New Star in Town
Posted by Nikki Wisher on Feb 20th 2024
Some skin care products and shiny and exciting to add to your daily routine – those that promise clearer skin, fewer wrinkles, a brighter complexion, and other types of results that make you look and feel better on a daily basis. Sunscreen is not typically in that category. Sure, we all know that we should be using it, but the only thing most sunscreen accomplishes is preventing your skin from looking worse and becoming unhealthy…not exactly a flashy selling point, even though it’s necessary.
Well, that doesn’t have to be the case anymore, because there’s finally a sunscreen that will actually get you excited to put it on. Allow me to introduce you to the EltaMD UV AOX Collection.
What Is the EltaMD UV AOX Collection?
EltaMD is known for its cutting-edge and high-quality sun care products, and the UV AOX Collection stays true to that specialty. This collection of mineral sunscreens is unique because of the powerful antioxidants that the EltaMD researchers blended with the sun-blocking ingredients – antioxidants that allow these sunscreens to actually reduce signs of aging.
Here’s why antioxidants matter: sun damages your skin through a type of molecules called free radicals. Free radicals attack your cells and put the cells under a particular type of stress called oxidative stress. Without getting into the nitty-gritty, this oxidative stress damages skin cells in a way that leads to age spots, premature wrinkles, and loss of firmness. Antioxidants, though, neutralize free radicals, and this can restore your skin to a healthier, more youthful form.
Here's the short version: the EltaMD UV AOX Collection is amazing because it prevents new signs of aging while reducing the premature aging and sun damage you already have. That’s something you won’t find from just any sunscreen on the market.
Sun Protection and Age-Defying Antioxidants Your Way: The Products of the UV AOX Collection
EltaMD is on a mission to not only protect your skin from the sun but also to make your skin healthier and happier. That’s why they didn’t just make a one-size-fits-all antioxidant sunscreen, but instead made three products with their own specialties.
EltaMD UV AOX Elements Broad-Spectrum SPF 50 Tinted
When it comes to protecting and enhancing that beautiful face of yours, leave it to EltaMD UV AOX Elements Broad-Spectrum SPF 50 Tinted. This advanced mineral facial sunscreen gives you the protective and anti-aging power of the UV AOX Collection with a special formulation that soothes your skin with ginger root and bisabolol while moisturizing your skin with hyaluronic acid. As a broad-spectrum sunscreen, this stellar product blocks both UVA and UVB rays, but uniquely, it also blocks 56% of blue light when you’re indoors. Tinted just enough to even out your skin tone and avoid that white residue that’s so common with sunscreens, this product is ideal for combination skin and dry skin, and it’s sensitive skin-friendly.
EltaMD UV AOX Eye Broad Spectrum SPF 30
The skin around your eyes is particularly delicate and vulnerable compared to other areas of your face, so it deserves a little extra pampering. That’s exactly what EltaMD UV AOX Eye Broad Spectrum SPF 30 is all about. This specialized sunscreen addresses the signs of aging that are common around your eyes, like fine lines and dark circles, while staving off future aging thanks to its sun-fighting powers. This non-irritating eye sunscreen is tinted so it blends with your skin tone smoothly, and it’s suitable for all skin types.
EltaMD UV AOX Mist Sunscreen Broad-Spectrum SPF 40
As important as it is to shield your face and eyes from sun damage, the rest of your skin needs its protection too. That’s when you pull out EltaMD UV AOX Mist Sunscreen Broad-Spectrum SPF 40. This unique product has all the advantages of the UV AOX Collection with the convenience of a misting spray you can quickly and easily apply throughout your body.
This mist sunscreen uses air-powered spraying instead of chemical propellants, so don’t worry, the ecosystem won’t be paying a price. It also has a 360-degree spray so you can get every angle, even spraying upside-down. To help you with a smooth application, this sunscreen sprays on white and then becomes clear as it absorbs into your skin – you can make sure you don’t miss any spots but you don’t have a ghostly look left behind.
How to Revolutionize Your Skin Care Routine with the EltaMD UV AOX Collection
The EltaMD UV AOX Collection isn’t just another set of sunscreens you can incorporate into your skin care. These products can truly revolutionize your daily skin care routine.
First of all, you can set aside the added cost and time of using anti-aging products in the morning because your sunscreen will be doing that job for you. Second, the tint in the facial and eye sunscreens can give you a natural-looking coverage that evens your skin tone enough to reduce the foundation you wear. Finally, these products could be the key to actually keeping up with your sun protection. It can be hard to motivate yourself to apply sunscreen every morning, but in this case, your sunscreen also makes you look younger and more rejuvenated, so there’s an extra incentive to give your skin health what it needs.
