16 May Mineral SPF Must‑Haves for Skin Cancer Awareness Month
May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month—a perfect reminder that healthy, radiant skin starts with smart sun protection. At Rejuvenation Spa, we’re proud to partner with Jane Iredale, a clean‑beauty pioneer whose mineral‑based formulations blend potent skincare benefits with broad‑spectrum defense. Below, we revisit the essentials of sun safety, highlight must‑have mineral makeup staples, share our limited‑time May Hydrafacial promotion, and invite you to our Jane Iredale Makeup Event.
Why Sun Protection Matters Every Day
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, and while treatments have advanced, prevention remains key. UV exposure doesn’t just increase cancer risk—it accelerates collagen breakdown, leads to pigmentation, and contributes to fine lines and texture irregularities. By incorporating SPF into your daily routine—whether through dedicated sunscreens or makeup with built‑in sun defense—you dramatically reduce cumulative damage and help maintain youthful, even‑toned skin.
Mineral vs. Chemical Sunscreens: What’s the Difference?
Understanding how sunscreen works can help you choose the right product for your skin type and lifestyle:
- Mineral Sunscreens (Physical Blockers)
- Active ingredients: zinc oxide, titanium dioxide
- Sit on the skin’s surface to reflect and scatter UV rays
- Effective immediately upon application
- Ideal for sensitive or reactive skin
- Less likely to clog pores or cause irritation
- Chemical Sunscreens
- Active filters: avobenzone, octisalate, oxybenzone, etc.
- Absorb UV radiation and convert it to heat, which dissipates
- Require about 15–20 minutes to become fully active
- Some individuals may experience stinging or breakouts
Jane Iredale champions mineral protection across its sun‑safe makeup line—offering formulations that nourish, perfect, and shield without compromise.
