Being 42 and not looking 42 is something I pride myself in.  I know that part of it may be genetics BUT most of it is definitely taking care of your skin.  I have been using suncare/sunblock since I was a little girl and as I got older I  religiously used it.  I bought my first line of high end suncare at Saks in New York when I was 19 after a makeup artist friend of mine schooled me.  Since then, I have always been up on the suncare trends

As a teen, summer days were spent in the quest for the perfect tan. With cocoa butter and baby oil, my friends and I baked in the midday sun.

We apply it every day so it just makes sense to use one that contains a sunscreen. Remember that every minute out in the sun unprotected adds up and we don’t even think about the tiny amounts of time and how they could be affecting our skin.
