Say goodbye to tanning oils and tan lines. We’re talking strictly about skin here. The sun is not your friend when it comes to your skin. The sun ages and wrinkles your skin quicker than age! We have products we love that will give you the sun-kissed glow you strive for throughout summer without the damage sitting in the sun does! But before we show you the goodies, lets dig into WHY the sun is a FOE.
Skin guru, The Skinny Confidential’s, Lauryn Evarts, wrote an entire book about why you should get the fuck out of the sun.

But here are our reasons why:
Too much exposure to the sun’s harmful rays can cause sunburns and affect the skin’s growth and appearance. Let’s break it down, ultraviolet light aka UV rays are categorized as long (UVA) or short (UVB). UVA rays travel deeper into your skin causing a disruption in skin cells. UVB rays give you sunburns.
Over time, sun exposure can lead to less elasticity and leathery textured skin. Nobody wants that. But even worse, it could lead to cancer. So let’s use our SPF and get the fuck out of the sun.
