Healthy Skin, Healthy Career
Your face may not have launched a thousand ships, but it’s inspired more than a swoon or two – and a few big business deals. But are you taking the proper steps to avoid premature aging or worse – skin cancer?
In honor of the Senate’s latest tax on tanning beds, we talked to Susan Posnick, a 20-year celebrity makeup artist who knew a lot about skincare – but still got skin cancer. “I’ve always worn moisturizer with sunscreen because I’m very fair, but SPF isn’t enough,” says Posnick.
Her best tips after a decade of research? “Use a face and body moisturizer that contains sunscreen, and apply a sunless tanner to get the look without the damage. I really like the gradual daily ones that build a realistic looking tan.”
Here’s how to nurture your gorgeous dermas:
RevolutionHealth.com tests your knowledge of skin cancer and explains your risk, like how you should take more precautions if you’re fair-skinned or spend a lot of time outdoors.
The Skin Cancer Foundation offers insight on everything from facial resurfacing treatments that protect aging skin, to makeup that offers an SPF, to eye protection that shields you from harmful rays.
