Why use an SPF? Sunblocks help to block UVA & UVB rays to prevent burns and aging. The uv rays break down your collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid leading to aged, dehydrated skin. Damaged cells and melanocytes also cause hyperpigmentation causing uneven skin tone.
FAQ: How do the products have a tint? Elta MD uses the power of natural iron oxides to provide colour within their products that provide a flawless finish with no white cast.
Hot Tip: Do you find your SPF is pilling on top of your other products? Try patting in your hands first before applying or blend in with your moisturizer.
