How to Avoid Looking Like Kim Kardashian
We all know that we have to wear sunscreen year round. Why? Because UVA rays – the ones that give us wrinkles – are as strong in the dead of winter as they are in the dead of summer.

My compulsion to constantly apply sunscreen continues, and what better place than Hawaii to fully engage in this unadulterated obsession?

Goddess Garden Sunscreen: Why You Should Consider All Natural SPF
It’s no secret that many skincare products are loaded with chemicals, but sunscreens tend to be particularly bad and, unfortunately, most of the ones that feel luxuriously soft are chemical sunscreens. The problem with non-natural, chemical sunscreens (aside from the obvious toxicity), is that they take 20 minutes or so to start working and most … Continue reading “Goddess Garden Sunscreen: Why You Should Consider All Natural SPF”
