***I’m telling you in advance that some of these facts are fairly scary and some are darn right petrifying***
I’ve been using the Elta MD Physical SPF protection and I’m quite happy to report that I absolutely adore this product.
I’ve tried so many other products, but I always break out, but the Elta MD Physical SPF is perfect for a few reasons:

New SPF products to protect your skin
I know this is one of the worst summers since 1992 for pretty much all of us living on the east coast in North America and I do know from friends in Europe that some of them have had a pretty miserable summer as well, but there are still many long days left to bask in the sun. Because summer is not nearly over, I thought I would share with you a few new SPF products I’ve come across that you might be right for you.
I should also mention that although it’s obvious that we NEED to protect our skin against the harmful rays of the sun during months like June, July and August, it’s important to keep in mind that sun protection should be year round (yup, 365 days per year).

Too much sun tanning can cause skin to fall off!???!
I thought this was a catchy headline when I first read it so obviously, I had to click on it to read more.
If you’ve ever visited the U.K. you know that their summers are quite different from our hot and sunny North American summers. We might freeze in the winter and have to deal with rainy and damp weather in the spring, but most of us know that when summer arrives we are treated to a long string of almost Paradise -like weather.

What’s going on with Donatella Versace’s skin?
I was surfing one of my favourite British sites when I saw this feature comparing the Goddess of Italian fashion to the spoof character ‘Madga’ from the movie ‘Something About Mary’.
I know that Donatella loves her long-long-bleach-blond extensions and wigs and she loves her dark skin … both which (in my opinion) age her terribly.
I’ve only seen Donatella Versace dressed in one of her mega-expensive coutures and I’ve never seen her in a bikini until recently. The photos from Daily Mail are simply frightening.
I know Donatella is maybe not very fluent in English, but I refuse to believe that Italian magazines have not been pleading Italian women to reduce their sun exposure to avoid having that awful leather-like skin or worst skin cancer.

Sun Care Collection by Sisley Paris
Sisley Paris is one of the most exclusive brands and it’s also part of the group of the most expensive skincare lines on the market. I’ve featured a number of their $400+ serums and although they will not suit all readers, there is still a large group of women who swear by more expensive skincare lines and since they have the discretionary income … why not.
I’ve noticed that the Sisley Paris Sun Care line is very popular in Paris and it’s also become a very popular brand in the U.S. and in Canada.
Here are a few key products you might want to consider as part of the sun care collection by Sisley:

Sun Sauce skin firming and sunless bronzer in just one bottle!
Would you believe me if I told you that there is a sunless tanning lotion that also contains an anti-aging firming formula would you believe me?
Well, I would not believe me either had it not been for the fact that I was introduced to this new age way of having a tan without being exposed to the harmful rays of the sun PLUS protecting our skin against the inevitable pulls of gravity.
When it comes to sunless lotion, it’s obvious that they’re not created equally and once you have tried Sun Sauce you’ll see just how different it is compared to what you’ve been using up to now.

Is that mole a cancerous one?
I have a few moles on my legs and I remember a few years ago during a yearly check-up, my doctor became quite concerned with them, but upon analyzing them she realized they were not related to skin cancer, but they were related to ingrown hair gone bad due to shaving.
You won’t find too many conscientious doctors who won’t careful analyze and keep track of the moles on your body these days because it’s a fact that 30 per cent of all melanomas begin as a mole and 90 per cent of moles have cancer-causing properties.
