Summer Skin Safety Tips

Protecting your skin from the summer sun.

Ok ladies and gents, summer is in full swing!  We are spending more time outside whether it's a relaxing weekend BBQ, a day at the beach, or working in our yards and gardens.  If you are like most people you only think about protecting your skin while you are lounging beach or poolside.  You should get in the habit of wearing an SPF whenever you are outside for extended periods of time...even if it's just mowing the lawn.  

Over time the suns harmful rays can cause dryness, tightness, skin discoloration, wrinkles, and potentially skin cancer.  Remember it is easier to prevent than erase the damage!

Mary Kay has an amazing Sun Care Collection for body, lips and face. They not only protect your skin but nourish it as well.
