Hassle-Free
Sunscreen
We all know sunscreen is
mandatory for optimal skin
health, but many people hate
slathering it all over, not to
mention the heavy feel and
potential for stinging eyes. Now,
several face and body washes
have surfaced that contain
sunscreen. Companies like
Klenskin and Dr. Russo offer
"wash-on" sunscreen, which
works by leaving microscopic
capsules of active ingredients
on the skin's surface. The jury
is still out as to whether these
washes are as effective as
good old-fashioned lotion, but
another layer of protection is
never a bad thing.
You Deserve A Break
You care for your clients day after day—why not
