Sun vs. Skin: The Real Deal

7/20/2011 4:27:00 PM by Leah Melby

curls on the go

As beauty-loving women of the 21st century, we've all read, watched, or listened to enough info on rays and SPF that we could probably write the book on it by now (or at least a few lengthy articles). Still, it appears like most other things, what we know we should do and what we actually do are two different things.

Our sister site, RealAge.com, shared this handy graph that's almost embarrassing. Yep, you're reading right—almost 40% of us are wearing SPF15 or lower. With all of the info out there, there's really no excuse. Read up on terms and tips for protecting your skin this summer, and see great SPF-containing makeup products.
