🌞 The Truth About Sunscreen: Why It’s Your Skin’s Best Friend

Plus, How L-evated Beauty Helps You Glow Year-Round

Why Sunscreen Isn’t Just for Summer

Most people think sunscreen is just for beach days or vacations—but UV rays are always around. Rain or shine, winter or summer, your skin is exposed to UVA and UVB rays that can cause:

  • Premature aging

  • Dark spots and hyperpigmentation

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Skin cancer

That’s why we at L-evated Beauty recommend using broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every day—not just when you're headed to the pool.

Chemical vs. Mineral Sunscreen: Which Should You Choose?

Not all sunscreens are created equal. Here's a quick breakdown:

  • Chemical Sunscreens absorb UV rays and convert them into heat.

  • Mineral Sunscreens (aka physical sunscreens) sit on top of your skin and block UV rays using ingredients like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.

✨ At L-evated Beauty, we lean toward mineral-based SPFs—especially for clients with sensitive, acne-prone, or melanin-rich skin.

Yes, You Still Need Sunscreen If You Have Melanin

One of the biggest myths we hear?

“I don’t burn easily, so I don’t need sunscreen.”

Wrong. Melanin offers some protection—but not nearly enough. In fact, darker skin tones are more prone to discoloration and sun-triggered hyperpigmentation.

That’s why we carry and recommend melanin-friendly SPFs that blend without leaving a white cast and keep your skin tone even and radiant.
