HEALTHY LYF: Protect Your Skin from the Sun with SunProtec

It's officially summer and having fun outdoors is THE way to go during this season. But having fun outdoors entails some caution. One way to do it is to protect yourself from the harmful effects of excessive sun exposure.

One way of protecting yourself is by applying sunblock unto skin. SunProtec is a revolutionary skin care product of Kohl Industries Corporation, a leading manufacturer of industrial and personal care products.

SunProtec has an SPF (sun protection factor) ranging from 60 to 70 that signifies longer protection against UVB. SPF measures how much exposure your skin can take before it gets burnt with even with the application of the sunblock. 

SunProtec also has broad spectrum protection, which means that your skin is not only protected from UVB, but also from UVA, which is generally attributed now to cause skin cancer.

HEALTHY LYF: Protect Your Kids at Home with Filtrete

Homeowners might find it surprising that indoor air can sometimes be worse than outdoor air. According to the U.S Environmental Protection Agency (U.S EPA), the air we breathe inside our homes can be two to five times worse than air outdoors. This stunning discovery is identified as posing an even greater risk to our health as most people spend 90% of their times indoors. Particles such as pollen, mold spores, dust mites, and other allergens, visible or not, carry viruses and bacteria that may harm us and our family’s health. 

To make things even more surprising, some of the most widely-used cleaning methods, such as sweeping and vacuuming, can even increase the circulation of such particles. For moms, protecting the health and safety of their children is their primary concern. Even when they clean the house using the latest cleaning tools and equipments and having the best air quality would not undermine the existence of these dangerous microscopic things.

In order to reduce the amount of disease-carrying airborne particles, it is essential to use an air filter that can effectively combat some of the most pervasive airborne particles. Filtrete™ Home Filtration Products offer the most effective and trusted air filtering products in various sizes that can cover a wide range of filtration levels for those with or without forced air heating or cooling systems.

HEALTHY LYF: Diana Stadler by Dermaline

Its my first time to attend a SPArty and excited what will happen. I'm not really a regular at beauty shops because I don't know what  service should I avail and what would be best for me. Though familiar with scientific advances on cosmetology, still I have a lot to learn about aesthetics. I am thankful to be invited by Dermaline to experience this and learn more.

Dermaline has been in the beauty business for 15 years now and this gives the company a good reputation and also the experience of providing world class beauty services.  Brazilian Model-Actress Diana Menezes trust Dermaline to take care of her skin. Also note that they also have soaps used and endorsed by Gerald Anderson and Sam Milby. And I loved these soaps because they are indeed effective. Though I'm not a fan of facials because I don't like the pricking part, I gave it another try here at the SPArty at Dermaline. And I was not disappointed, the pricking was not that bad and I felt indeed more fresher  I am considering having another session if ever.
