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 to UV exposure, an ...

While we can’t necessarily stop fine lines and wrinkles altogether, we can definitely slow down the process of aging. One of the best ways to pack a big punch in a small bottle is by using a serum. Our Wrinkle Reversing Serum skincare has been proven to combat the aging process so you can take center stage this year!
Why Use A Serum?

As we age, skin tends to get thinner, drier, and loses elasticity, making crow’s feet, fine lines and wrinkles more prominent. External factors such as daily UV rays, pollution, and certain lifestyle habits like smoking, also contribute to the health of the skin’s healthy cells and connective tissues. Unlike creams and lotions, serums are able to penetrate the multiple ...
