So, what can we do?
Use sunscreen
Sun protection is key. Use a daily moisturizer with SPF 30 or higher to prevent cumulative damage over the years. Don’t just limit sun protection to summer months either—it’s important to note that we are subjected to sun exposure every day, whether that’s sitting next to a window, taking a walk in your neighborhood, or driving in your car. When outdoors for extended periods of time, it is highly recommended you wear a hat and sun-protective clothing.
This doesn’t mean you have to completely hide from the sun, however— it helps boost your mood and your vitamin D levels, after all—but being outside for hours without protection is a guaranteed way to get a sunburn and accelerate the signs of aging.
Be smart about skincare
As you journey from adolescence into adulthood, you will notice some changes in your skin that can be remedied with products that assist in reversing the signs of sun damage and aging. An effective skincare routine can assist in preventing sunspots and wrinkles, as well as stimulate the body’s natural collagen production.
Choose MANDO
I had the pleasure of collaborating with Tracy on MANDO, a skincare line that features face pads and a serum that, when used together, exfoliate, encourage cell turnover, and revitalize the skin. Before
MANDO, our beauty counters were cluttered with products that may have been doing more harm than good due to the inclusion of harsh, unnecessary ingredients. An effective, safe, two-step skincare system just didn’t exist. After rigorous testing to ensure efficacy and safety, MANDO launched to save (your) face with daily application. Turning back the clock on aging has never been more streamlined.
