Sunscreen & Vitamin C: The Ultimate Summer Skincare Duo - M Review 88
It’s officially summer! That means warmer weather, trips to the beach, and more daylight. Yes, we all want that beautiful JayLo, beach goddess tan for the summer, but we should be doubling up on sun protection since UV damage is at its maximum potential. It’s important to apply sunscreen everyday - rain or shine, indoors or outdoors - to prevent skin cancer, sunburn, photoaging, wrinkles, fine lines and sun spots. Even if you don’t have a whole 10-step skincare routine, it is crucial to at least have a daily dose (or more) of SPF as part of your daily routine.
Finding the right sunscreen for your needs and skin type is also important. Take a look at some of the choices in the list below!

But, did you know most sunscreens block only HALF of the harmful free radicals produced by UV exposure? So to make the most out of your sunscreen, it is recommended to combine it with a topical antioxidant!
coxir Vita C Bright Serum
So when I think of summer ingredients, I also think of freshly squeezed vitamin C. It’s an amazing antioxidant that brightens the complexion with its skin protecting benefits. Applying a vitamin C serum every morning has an amazing effect in terms of slowing down skin aging that can be caused by the sun. As an antioxidant, it will help protect your skin from free radical damage in your immediate environment.
