Guide Review - Bioelements: Year-Round Protector
Bioelements, known for their high-end skin care products sold in spas and salons, has a slam-dunk with their Year-Round Protector. With an SPF level of 30, you'll be getting full sun protection with each use. According to their website, this sunscreen blocks 97% of the sun's rays.
90% of premature aging is caused by the sun, and Bioelements wants to make it easy for you to apply your sunscreen first thing in the morning. Apply as you would your moisturizer, at least 30 minutes before heading outdoors, and you're face will be covered for 2 1/2 hours. Bioelements is known for their use of natural plant-based ingredients in their products. In Year-Round Protector, Sunflower Seed Oil naturally protects against the sun, Shea Butter moisturizes your skin and Green Tea Leaf fights against free radicals which cause premature aging.
Bioelements: Year-Round Protector is made specifically for dry skin. It is a thick white cream that you feel immediately pampering your skin. It has a very light fragrance that almost disappears after 10 minutes or so, but the hydration is felt long after the scent disappears. With such a thick cream, a small amount goes a long way, which means your bottle will last a long time. Bioelements recommends reapplication every 2 1/2 hours, but this sunscreen comes in a glass container which can be difficult to carry safely around for reapplication.
If you have dry skin and are looking for an easy skin care regime, Bioelements is an excellent choice for you. Bioelements does not test on animals. Get Bioelements personal skin care advice in a spa near you.
