Big date planned this V day? Whether you are heading out for a picnic in the park, a hike up the mountains, or an intimate brunch followed by a stroll around the city—please use protection.
We are serious.. this Valentine's Day... we want you to get it on. Just use protection. No regrets. We don't want a hot date ending with a burn.
Roses are red, and your skin will be too, if you spend all day outdoors without sun protection.
And if you are thinking, nope, not me. I never burn, why do I need SPF in the winter? Well, the sun doesn't take a vacation and SPF in the winter is just as important as in the summer. All the unprotected sun you get on cloudy days adds up and your skin will see the impact.
It only takes one blistering sun burn to DOUBLE your risk of melanoma and five regular burns for that same risk. The damage caused to skin cells by UV radiation is irreversible, and while visibly it appears to have repaired itself, the long term effects are often only seen after decades.
We’re talking saggy skin, wrinkles, sun spots, and fine lines. If you are in it for the long-haul with your current partner, you need to be on the same page when it comes to protection.
If they are vigilant about their suncare routine, you definitely don’t want to be the one who ends up looking like an old leathery handbag while they don’t seem to have aged a day.
Sunscreen should be like toothpaste or soap, it is a shared toiletry essential that deserves a permanent spot on your bathroom shelf. Spooge’s Ghosted Mineral Sunscreen is the skincare staple every couple needs, as it works with all skin tones and complexions, and literally disappears once applied.
The one long term relationship that is a sure thing? Your relationship with your skin. You've only got one of your largest organ, so give yourself the gift of protection this Valentine's Day. #GetItOn
