Sunscreen at sunset?! 🌅
#TopTipTuesday #skingenious #SkinCancerAwarenessMonth
“I enjoy long walks on the beach at sunset” may be a dating cliche but it is lovely. And yes, you need to reapply sunscreen.
🌊 Sunset walks by the beach are fantastic but can mean double exposure: from UV rays above as well below as they bounce off of the water. Reapply your Armada before heading out for your stroll.
☀️ As long as the sun is visible, and even on cloudy days, you should wear sunscreen.
😎 Remember, you don’t need the sun to be super bright to be exposed. UVA is present even when it’s cloudy outside.

May is Skin Cancer Awareness month! The head of our manufacturing plant and her team are never without it! 🚲#skinspiration #FridayFinest
Some important reminders …
☀️💡 Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect you against a broader range of rays. A hypoallergenic one means less hurdles to daily sunscreen like rashes or acne. Armada checks all the boxes.
🌅 Sunscreen at sunrise, sunset, and in between! While UVB is most present from 10am to 4pm and on vivid , cloudless days, UVA hits you even when it’s not as bright and sunny. Sunset at the beach can mean double exposure from the sky above and the reflection of the water.
🌊 🏔️🏜️ Sunscreen spring, summer, fall and winter … in water, snow, desert, city or wherever else you are.
🪟🚙🏖️ Sunscreen when outdoors and indoors! Windows block UVB but not UVA.
💛🤎🖤🧡❤️ Anyone can get skin cancer no matter your race, skin tone, or sex. If you notice spots on your skin (including on fingers and toes and near nails) or changes in moles, have them checked by your dermatologist to be sure. Skin cancer is highly treatable when caught early!

This is hi-larious! 😂 And so true, yes?
In “How Often Do Your Worries Actually Come True? Not very, according to a brand new study,” @psych_today shares a study from Penn State University with participants who had generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).
“A whopping 91 percent of worries were false alarms. And of the remaining 9 percent of worries that did come true, the outcome was better than expected about a third of the time. For about one in four participants, exactly zero of their worries materialized … These findings underscore ‘worry’s deceit,’ in the words of study authors Lucas S. LaFreniere and Michelle G. Newman. ‘Deceit’ is a good word to describe the nature of worry, implicitly demanding that we pay attention to it because the threat is real. In reality, it’s nearly always a false alarm.”
That’s not to say that “just stop worrying” is easy (or helpful) advice. But it might be further incentive to prioritize practices that are proven to help still the mind such as meditation, 7-8 hours of sleep a night, regular exercise, gratitude journaling, and therapy.

Sun safety tips for outdoors! ☀️#TopTipTuesday #skingenious
You’re being good about daily sunscreen? Excellent! But when at the beach, running a marathon, or skiing all day, it’s best to be extra careful:
🥛 Apply about a shot glass full of sunscreen over the entire body (just the face needs enough sunscreen to cover the full length of your two longest fingers). Applying less can lessen the total protection factor.
⛑️ Choose higher protection factors (they help mitigate the risk of less-than-perfect application) and broader protection (UVB and UVA at the least).
🧴 Creams over gels and sprays! Sunscreen actives mix best in creams. Gels and sprays come off more readily are generally less effective due to their discontinuous films. This is a big reason why all Armada Sun + Light Screens and Stay-On-Point! are creams.
⏱️ No matter what your sunscreen says, reapply every two hours, after water immersion, and after toweling off.
👒 Wear protective clothing like long sleeves and hats (but don’t skip the sunscreen).
😇 Choose hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic formulations!

Darkening or itching on underarms, underboobs, underbutt or groin? Check your underwear! 👙 #SkintelSunday #skintelligence
Clothing can have lots of contact allergens and close, extended contact with them can result in rashes, itching, and darkening.
🙆 Most underwear has stretch in the fabric itself or in garters. Elastics, latex, rubber, thiuram, carba mix are all top contact allergens.
🩲 Dyes, PPD, disperse blue are culprits. As is the metal in chemicals added to synthetic textiles to help pigments bind better. Choose natural fabric that’s white, pale or uncolored.
🧣 Rough or scratchy cloth tends to be irritating more than allergenic but can still cause discomfort and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
🧼 Fragrance, dyes, and preservatives in laundry soap are often overlooked causes of skin problems. Try washing underwear with Superwash instead.
🧺 Wash new underwear before using it. Many clothing manufacturers use formaldehyde as a preservative to keep clothes as looking newer, longer.
🥵 Underwear is close fitting, staying on for hours and resulting in a hotter, sweatier, more humid environment that can increase the risk of contact reactions occurring. Consider sleeping without underwear to give skin a break.
