Red, White & BeYOUty!

Skin Authority user @jessicataylorstevenson What exactly IS a sunburn? Is it really possible to make the pain, redness and embarrassment go away? Yes, it most certainly is… It’s all fun in the sun until someone gets burnt- sun-burnt that is. With summer solstice in full swing, we’re all heading to the beach to soak up the rays and the long summer days. But there’s no enjoyment when you forget to reapply and you’re paying the price of hot, irritated, painfully red skin. And hopefully, the discomfort you’re dealing with will serve as a nice reminder for next time to never forget your Daily Defense Moisturizer. But, in the meantime, there’s no reason to drive yourself crazy waiting for the sting to subside and your skin to inevitably start peeling. Read on for our tips to keep redness at bay! What is a sunburn anyway? Simply put, it’s the skin’s response … Continue reading →

SIMPLE SOLUTIONS TO SENSITIVE SKIN

Aug31 by View all posts by Maurice Voce

Sensitive skin is a difficult issue to diagnose. It can be any number of things that can cause hives, inflammation, unruly zits, and blemishes, or flaky skin. Whatever the reason, we have a solution! Below is a quick list of some remedies that you can use to calm your face and ease your mind. UH HUH HONEY The easiest remedy that we’ve found is so sweet and simple. One word, one ingredient: honey. That’s right. Raw honey is nature’s own skin care product. It works as an antibacterial agent (less pimples, faster healing wounds) as well as a moisturizer. On top of that, it preserves your skin’s acid mantle (the thin layer that your skin produces to prevent infections and breakouts). So next time you’re at the store, make sure to pick up some raw honey and spread that sweetness. FACIAL SNACKS Sure, oatmeal and yogurt make for really great … Continue reading →

May1 by View all posts by Maurice Voce

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month and Skin Authority is making a point to inform everyone on how to protect your skin from the sun. Skin is the body’s largest organ, we have to take care of it! It protects you, keeps you warm, and gives you that dewy glow. These five simple daily habits can protect your skin from sun damage, keeping your skin healthy and youthful. #1: Stay out of the tanning bed, and stop baking in the sun to get a bronze.

Stick to a self-tanner, get a more even … Continue reading →
