Practice Safe Sun!

Spring has arrived, the weather is getting warmer and more skin is getting exposed to the sunshine. Who doesn't love the sunshine? Unprotected skin even on a cloudy day increases our risks for skin cancer. Remember that a good broad spectrum UVA-UVB sunscreen will offer the necessary protection for your body. For my face, I am always on the look out for a truly water and sweatproof product that is paba free, leaves a matte finish and is affordable. Is there such a thing?
I recently discovered a facial sunscreen product by Neutrogena called Ultra Sheer Liquid Daily SunBlock. This is an ultra sheer liquid offered in a 55 and 70 spf respectively. It contains Helioplex which offers a broad spectrum UVA-UVB protection. It's oil free, paba free, leaves a matte finish and my favorite benefit with this product is its water proof and sweatproof capabilities! No tearing of the eyes when sweating and I didn't notice any oiliness of my skin after several hours of wear.
This product is perfect to wear under makeup or your moisturizer.
For $11.00, you can find this at Target. A little goes a long way. For a short time, the Neutrogena website is offering a $2.00 off coupon. So Remember, Be Smart and Practice Safe Sun!

Working in an unregulated industry

I recently had the pleasure of taking an advanced Airbrush training course with Kelly Richardson, celebrity tanner and head trainer at the Airbrush Tanning Training Center of Sonoma Tanning LLC. Lack of regulation in the spray tanning industry has paved the way for many "moonlighters" looking to make a quick buck. As a professional, I believe it is imperative to distinguish one's self with advanced training and knowledge in this field. Below, is an interview I recently had with Kelly following my advanced training certification.
