4 Skincare Products You Can’t Live Without This Summer
Victoria, the home of Dr. Anna’s clinic, offers some of the most favourable weather in Canada—but it’s not all sunshine. Summertime weather can wreak havoc on the skin. Dr. Anna’s patients say that summer can mean excess sweating, sun damage and drier skin.
So here’s four must-have products from Dr. Anna’s skin care line: face wash, sunscreen, anti-aging cream, and the soon-to-be-released lip cream. All of Dr. Anna’s products are backed by science and designed to keep summer skin hydrated, protected and fresh.
Face Wash by Dr. Anna
Heat and humidity can trigger the sebaceous glands causing the skin’s oil to flow, so daily washing is vital. This gentle foam cleanser removes makeup, oil and pore-clogging impurities with coconut oil, chamomile, niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and honeysuckle. Add warm water to one pump of the Dr. Anna Face Wash and apply to skin. Rinse with cold water. Dr. Anna recommends cleansing twice per day.
Sunscreen by Dr. Anna
Apply sunscreen 15 minutes prior to sun exposure, and two hours during. Did you know that most popular skincare products are harmful? You can learn more about this concern here on our blog. Dr. Anna’s sunscreen stick is one of the few truly non-toxic sunscreens currently on the market. This sunscreen contains contains 6% Zinc Oxide and 6% Titanium Dioxide that physically block the sun’s rays, in addition to minerals, coconut oil, beeswax, and many more truly beneficial properties. Available in a 20g roll-on stick, it’s convenient to keep in your purse, gym bag, car or desk drawer.
Anti-Aging Cream by Dr. Anna
Whether you’re sitting out in the sun or under a air conditioner, your skin dries out in summer. This hydrating cream can be used during the day, night or both. During the summer, the rule-of-thumb with moisturizer is “less is more”. Try 1-2 pumps and apply more if needed (and don’t forget your neck!). At nighttime, use cream following Dr. Anna’s Face Wash to combat deep wrinkles, firms and nourishes skin. It has been proven to treat rosacea, acne and eczema.
*COMING SOON* Clean Gloss by Dr. Anna
Clean makeup is especially important in lip glosses and lipsticks. But what does ‘clean’ exactly mean? Parabens, methylisothiazoline, and phenoxyethanol free. It’s more than just keeping pores clean… parabens, that are present in best-selling lipsticks, have been found in breast tumors. Dr. Anna is currently developing her non toxic, mineral makeup line that will focus on lip care. Join our mailing list for updates. Sign up on our contact page!
