DAMAGE CONTROL

We all know that too much sun can lead to skin cancer. But an overabundance of rays can also cause photodamage, a premature aging of the skin marked by wrinkles, discoloration and loss of elasticity. Prevention is always the best course of action. But if the damage has already been done, reach for Mad Hippie’s Hydrating Nutrient Mist ($19.99). It minimizes the appearance of photodamage on the face, arms and chest with the help of several key ingredients. Plant flavonoid hesperidin reduces the appearance of skin discoloration, sodium hyaluronate plumps and moisturizes, ginkgo biloba serves as an anti-inflammatory, and vitamin C brightens skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles. Spray it on for softer, more supple skin. And don’t forget your sunscreen! Find Mad Hippie products at local Vitamin Shoppe stores.
