Happy Friday, Beauty Byters! 

As you prepare for your summer vacation, or stay-cation, it is important to learn the benefits of wearing sunscreen. UV rays can damage your skin cells DNA. With improper care, over time your skin may be susceptible to wrinkles, discoloration, and skin cancer. In this podcast I talk to you all about the importance of sunscreen, the difference between chemical and physical sunscreens, and the best ways to protect yourself from harmful UVA and UVB rays. I explain the science behind mineral based sunscreens and pros and cons of it. If you’re traveling abroad or plan on spending time in the sun this summer, you must listen to this episode! Remember, the skin is one of the largest organs on your body and I can’t stress enough how important it is to protect it.
