The SPF Myths Most People Still Believe. Are you one, [FIRST NAME GOES HERE]

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader!

It's hot out there and you're busy. So I just wanted to share a gentle reminder to keep up with your SPF—and a couple of simple facts to help you feel more confident about choosing and using sunscreen.

☀️ 1. Mineral sunscreen starts working right away.

Unlike chemical sunscreen, mineral (physical) sunscreen protects your skin as soon as you apply it. There's no need to wait 15–20 minutes before heading outside or into the water

That's especially helpful with kids who are eager to jump in the pool, but honestly, it's a win for adults too. Apply it, let it dry for a minute if you can, and you're ready to go.

☀️ 2. A Higher SPF isn't automatically better.

It's easy to assume a bigger number means dramatically better protection, but that's not really how SPF works.

SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays, while SPF 50 blocks about 98%. That's a very small increase in protection...

Higher-SPF formulas can also require additional UV filters or other ingredients to achieve those numbers, so I generally recommend focusing on finding a sunscreen you'll actually enjoy wearing and remember to reapply.

If you're looking for some good options, here are the Best Mineral Sunscreens for face and body (kids and adults)!

Fall Fashion & How to Finally Get the Perfect Wardrobe! {LM Weekly Update}

Hi Reader! Pretty soon, I'll be doing one of my biggest shopping trips of the year. I do one mid-spring and one when it starts to cool down. I told you I was all about honesty around here and this is real and raw! Yep, my big shopping trips happen one weekend (twice per year) when I take my out-of-season clothes down from the top shelf in the closet and swap out my clothes for the right season! Ok–you knew it was going to be something like that. You'd think pulling out clothes I wore last...

Here's the Last Melon... {LM Weekly Update}

Hi Reader, My husband and I quote a lot of movies - dumb movies and great movies. Kid movies and classic movies. One of our most quoted? "The last melon" from Ice Age. The animals encounter a colony of Dodo birds prepping for the Ice Age. They have one female, who sadly meets her demise, and 3 watermelons to last them "underground for a billion, billion years." Pretty soon they're down to the last melon....and then no more melons (or Dodo birds for that matter). So with that silly mindset,...
