No skincare routine can make sense without a proper sunscreen to keep you protected from the harmful effects of UV rays. A good SPF should become your everyday ally to prevent sun damage, premature signs of aging and skin cancer. It’s time to reconsider your sunscreen: not a summertime essential only, but a year-round BFF to give your skin the protection it needs, regardless of season or climate.But not all sunscreens are created equal - there are two main types to know, chemical and mineral sunscreens. Do you know the difference? MINERAL SUNSCREEN ( also called physical) Works like a shield Sits on top of the skin Reflects and refracts the sun’s UV rays Starts working immediately Minerals actives like Zinc oxide and/or Titanium Dioxide Safe for sensitive skin and coral reef CHEMICAL SUNSCREEN Works like a sponge Penetrates the skin Absorbs and converts the sun UV rays Requires 15-20 minutes to work Chemical actives May cause adverse healt effects If you’re looking to go chemical-free sunscreen, you’re in the right place.
Mold and bacteria grows where water is present, which means that adding preservatives is a necessity when a cosmetic product contains water. Some preservatives are directly harmful to human health as well as the planet, while other may just cause some minor irritation of the skin. Either way, one cannot say that preservatives are good.Waterless formulas are here to allow us to eliminate the need for preservatives. The first obvious benefit of waterless cosmetics is the water savings generated by creating waterless beauty products. An environmental benefit that adds up to others: less packaging required; lighter weight in transporting them; the demand for fewer preservatives. If you're looking for a product that doesn’t spoil or affects you and the environment with harmful preservatives, you are in the right place.
Once a beauty product is opened, it becomes vulnerable to bacterial contamination, which can cause allergies. Applying a sunscreen you opened a year ago on your skin may not be the best choice, because its effectiveness drops dramatically around 12 months after opening. In any case, it is essential not to handle the product too much by avoiding leaving the tube open too long so that bacteria cannot enter. Also, you need to wash your hands regularly before touching the tube, because if bacteria manage to grow in the cream, it can cause skin allergies and rashes. Heat, excessive light and humidity are some of the factors that most rapidly alter the composition of the product, which becomes ineffective against sunburn. Sunscreens should be stored in a cool, dry place preferably away from light. If you're looking for a product that is fresh every day as if just opened, you've come to the right place.
54% of the world's population lives in urban centers. 1.2 billion is the number of vehicles running on the road, and more than 1,600 cities host worrying levels of pollution. City Syndrome is the widely used term that refers to skin stress caused by urban pollution. It mainly affects those living in cities. The undesired side effects of pollutants on the skin are dull complexion, enlarged pores, skin spots, collagen degradation, and thus wrinkles with the acceleration of aging processes. Adding to this disturbing scenario is an unexpected skin aggressor, called Blue-Ray: it’s the blue light emitted by the sun and the screens of your devices, to which we turn our gaze for many hours a day. This insidious blue light penetrates deep into the skin. The free radicals it produces cause the skin to react and trigger oxidative stress that contributes to short- and long-term skin aging, by altering its biorhythm, slowing cell regeneration, and causing the skin to lose its radiance. Hemeryne offers a mix of protective complexes specifically for city dwellers!
Contrary to popular belief, it is not necessary to reapply sunscreen every two hours.Sunscreens gradually lose their effectiveness through exposure to direct sunlight, NOT with the passing of time. Over the course of your typical day in the city — such as a workday — the sunscreen applied in the morning will be able to provide sufficient protection until sunset. That is, of course, assuming that you have applied enough sunscreen in the morning and that your daily activities take place mostly indoors. Hemeryne comes up exactly with the right amount of product you need for the entire day for your face and neck, so that you don’t have to worry. If you are looking for the perfect ally for your urban life, without worrying too much, you’ve come to the right place.
