It’s evident, when something happens to a celebrity, the reverberation is bigger and longer than when the same thing happens to any folk like me and you. Let’s use this fact to improve everybody’s health.

Sooo, Ewan McGregor recently had surgery to remove a cancerous mole from the area under his eye.
We want to take this opportunity to remind you once more that there is one very important thing you can do for your health, and that is: religiously wear sunscreen all. year. long.
But we do know that choosing the right spf mosturizer is difficult, so we selected the best ones that target different skin types:

La Roche-Posay Anthelios SX Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15- for all skin types:
this light, non-greasy, fragrance-free daily moisturizer is allergy-tested, PABA-free, suitable for sensitive skin and offers 24-hour hydration. Anthelios SX has the most complete broad-spectrum protection.

Tess Out And About SPF 15 Moisturizing Lavender Sunscreen - for mix and match skin:
easy to use, lightweight daily moisturizing spray with SPF 15 that’s formulated to moisturize and protect teenage skin without clogging pores or causing breakouts.

Coats Aloe Sunscreen SPF 30 - for sensitve and irritated skin:
based on titanium dioxide, it is a sunblock, not an absorber of sun rays. It scatters sunlight, avoiding heat buildup on the skin. This product is an antioxidant, acts as an anit-irritant and is also a post-sunburn treatment. Titanium dioxide is a natural absorber of oil and therefore helps prevent oil breakthrough in oily and acne prone skin.

SkinCeuticals Daily Sun Defense SPF 20 - for all skin types:
Optimal for daily use, this state-of-the-art, broad-spectrum sunscreen contains 5% transparent zinc oxide to help protect against the damaging effects of UVA and UVB rays. This cosmetically elegant and moisturizing sunscreen can be applied under makeup. Daily Sun Defense does not contain PABA, fragrance, or oil.

Dermalogica Extra Rich Faceblock SPF 30 - for dry and aging skin:
An ultra-emollient, nourishing moisturizer and superior sunscreen in one formula. Powerful peptides help stimulate collagen for improved tone while our Skin Smoothing Complex helps retexturize skin. Evening Primrose and other plant oils replenish and increase skin’s natural defense barrier. Chemical and physical sunscreens protect against UVA & UVB rays without drying skin.

If you’ve loved Zeno as much as we did, you’ll be excited to learn about ThermaClear.
When you have a pimple, you need something that gets rid of it fast. ThermaClear’s safe, effective, powerful, pimple-fighting technology defeats pimples right at their source.
Lotions and cleansers can take up weeks to work and all you can do in the meantime is cover the pimple with makeup.

How does it work:
During the 2 second treatment time, ThermaClear delivers a controlled burst of healing thermal energy that reaches deep beneath the surface of your skin, neutralizing the bacteria causing the pimple. This speeds the healing process, so you get clearner skin up to 4 times faster. So, if your pimple typically lasts a week, with ThermaClear it might take only 2 or 3 days to heal and disappear.

Korres is a luxurious skincare brand from Greece. Its fascinating story begins with the very first Homeopathic Pharmacy of Athens, where George Korres, pharmacist, combined nature with science to develop products that are skin-compatible, environment-friendly, joyful and effective. In just over 10 years they created more than 500 high-quality products, and the Best of Korres Kit makes a perfect gift (for Mom, but not only her) to sample some of the Korres beauty.

Kit includes:
● Guava body butter (1.69 fl oz/50 ml) ~ Smoothing and moisturising cream for all over the body, ideal for dry elbows, heels and knees. Shea butter and Quince extract have softening, moisturising and restructing properties. Guava is an important source of vitamin C, which stimulates collagen synthesis. Sunflower, Almond and Avocado oils nourish the skin, thus restoring its elasticity and smoothness. (this is our editors’ pick!)
● Basil Lemon Showergel (1.69 fl oz/50 ml) ~ A green spice of dazzling freshness with a vibrant lemon zest touch. Creamy-foam showergel with a quantifiable, lasting moisturising effect. Wheat proteins form a protective film on the skin, maintaining its natural moisture level. Active Aloe®, rich in vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and antioxidant enzymes, enhances the immune system of the skin. Furthermore, due to its ability to stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis, Active Aloe® helps reduce the visible signs of ageing.
