It's Skin Cancer Awareness Month and here at Susan Posnick, we're giving you health tips and tricks all May. 

 
The average workweek may lock you indoors, but don't think that means you can ditch your SPF. There's plenty of random times you're in and out and under the sun everyday--and need protection. Here's a few places you may not realize you're getting harmful sun exposure:

Running errands. Taking a lunch break today? 10 am to 3 pm are peak hours for UV rays. If you're out and about, make sure you're protected.
 
Cloudy days. Just because there's overcast doesn't mean the sun isn't there, doing its damage. No matter the weather, prevent skin cancer, hyper-pigmentation, and wrinkles with sunscreen.
 
Exercising. Morning yoga? After-work jog? Put on SPF prior to every workout outdoors. We recommend ColorFLO, as it's sweat-proof and provides natural sun protection.
 
Driving. Whether you're at the wheel or a passenger--windows up or windows down--the sun is still making its way into your car. Though your daily moisturizer with SPF is fine for everyday drives, put on extra sunscreen for longer trips. Make sure to cover your arms, legs, and neck!
 
Playtime. If you're picking the kids up from school or taking the dog for a walk, you're probably on the go. Remember to reapply if you know you'll be out for a significant amount of time.

    To be honest, what atattcred me to this product was the cool packaging. It looked like a great concept. However as looks can be deceiving, this method of application is very very messy. Even after tapping the excess off the brush before brushing on my face, the powder went all over the place. You have to be careful especially if you are wearing white or any other light colour. Having said all that, when you do put it on, the coverage is terrific. If they'd only make this same product in another package, I'd be more inclined to purchase it again. For the time being though, I'll stick to other brands and not purchase this again.

    Every day is UV protection day! Wearing an SPF like your Colorflo is so important - you can easily combine with a broad spectrum sunscreen with your Susan Posnick Colorflo on top. Pop your Coloflo into your handbag for regular top ups. The great thing is there is no way this foundation is going anywhere so you are good to go even when you are in and out of water! For ultimate protection combine with a broad spectrum antioxidant too! Super protected from those ageing rays.

    You can also get burned when hiking because of the higher altitude. I always get burned when I do. I should probably wear a hat next time. LOL!
