| No matter where you get your beauty info from—whether it’s magazines, social media or good ol’ word of mouth—it’s safe to say that the abundance of sources and information available at any given time has made things, well, pretty confusing. With so much info at our fingertips, it can be tricky to differentiate between what’s factual and what isn’t. That’s where we come in. We’ve tapped the top pros in every area of the beauty industry, from hair care to skincare to makeup and more, to bust some common myths and shed light on what you *actually* need to know. Summer may soon be coming to an end (a realization that usually pains us but in the year of utter chaos that is 2020, is just confusing at best—did we actually have a summer? Who’s to say?) But that doesn’t mean you can ease up on your sunscreen habits. By now you hopefully know that whether you’re indoors or outdoors, it’s pouring rain or the sun is shining, SPF is a must, day in and day out, no questions asked—unless you’re living in a dark, secluded, cave-like environment (in which case, we actually do have a couple of questions, like where can we sign up?). But the unfortunate truth is that most people are still not wearing sunscreen. According to a 2017 Statistics Canada report, only “30% to 40% of adults use sunscreen or seek shade.” Read on to learn how to properly and effectively protect your skin from the sun. |
