Morning Alert: Do Not Skip Your SPF

Posted on by

Not so Etiquette of me, I decided to break my morning ritual for a day and ditch my daily SPF 30 cream thinking UV wouldn’t attack my skin if I’m going in and out running errands in a mostly cloudy day in London. Well, my face (see below) proved me wrong! I should have at least put my SPF 15 foundation!

Alert: Clouds DO NOT block out sun’s UV! Protect your naked skin from wrinkles and skin cancer by wearing a sunscreen with at least SPF 15 for activities involving sporadic sun exposure (eg. shopping in and out of stores…) and a sunscreen with a SPF 30 or stronger if you spend a lot of time outdoors (eg. day in the park).

Lesson of the day

BARE SKIN = BURNED SKIN

Always wear your SPF!

☀ First Day of Summer ☀

Posted on by

Yesterday was Summer’s official kick-off and London did not disappoint! Parks drizzled with sunbathers, pub terraces packed, sunnies and hats competing in size and funkiness (yes hats! it’s London people & the Royal Ascot mood is spilling onto the streets!) and fashionistas out and about in their flashiest colors and shortest outfits… For my first day, I kept it relatively under control and left it for my neon accessories to shout: “Welcome sunny time! it’s about time!”

mommies secret: buttoned tops are ideal for urban breastfeeding / easy access on-the-go!

of course soon that control will have to let go bit by bit as I inch my way closer to a beach… here’s a flashback of how I embraced the spirit in St. Tropez last sunny season…
