If you need a sunscreen that provides complete heavy-duty protection from both sun damage and environmental stressors, the newly launched Atwater Skin Armor Mineral Facial Sunscreen SPF 50+ offers high-level protection in a lightweight, mineral-based formula.

The company’s mineral sunscreen is reinforced with a number of powerful antioxidants, including vitamin C, green tea and pomegranate. In addition, this sunscreen protection product offers blue light protection to keep you safe from the ever-present effects of the devices we constantly use.

This Skin Armor product has also received an impressive endorsement from actor Ian Bohen, who is currently working on the cast of Yellowstone.

Protection plus water resistance

Atwater Skin Armor Mineral Sunscreen SPF 50+ — Atwater

In addition to the aforementioned antioxidants, Atwater Skin Armor sunscreen also relies on the protection offered by zinc oxide, but this sunscreen won’t leave behind a white mask or residue. It also won’t clog your pores, which makes it ideal for just about any skin type.

Skin Armor is also water resistant, providing almost 90 minutes of protection from both water and sweat. In addition, it’s easy to reapply it quickly if you’re going to be spending all day out in the sun working or playing.

The latest sunscreen technology

The company’s unique mineral-based technology has been engineered to provide the kind of protection that rugged, outdoor types both need and expect. But this formulation is also current with all of the latest trends and applied science in skin protection, and mineral-based sunscreens are considered gentler on skin than they chemically-based SPF cousins.

Finally, Skin Armor Mineral Facial Sunscreen SPF 50+ is designed to neatly fit in with Atwater’s other products, which include the Skin Armor Face Scrub Cleanser that’s also built to handle multiple skin types. The product was recently released, and it’s priced at $42 for a single 1.7 fluid ounce/50 ml tube. The skin screen can be found at atwaterskin.com, and it’s also available at numerous retail and online outlets.

GUESS releases iconic new men’s cologne

GUESS ICONIC's new men's cologne is all about brand imaging

GUESS ICONIC

In the world of men’s fragrances, some brands niche down to appeal to a specific “type” and demographic, while others try to be all things to all people. The latter is especially true when they include the word “ICONIC” in their brand name, which is the case for this release from GUESS.
It's called GUESS ICONIC for Men, but GUESS isn't a company that's gender-specific when it comes to its scents. Its counterpart, GUESS Woman, was launched last April, and GUESS also designs, markets, distributes, and licenses a large collection of lifestyle products, including apparel, handbags, watches, footwear, and other consumer goods.

Mushrooms for men’s skincare? Verdoie adds new shroom-based supplement

These two products harness the healing power of mushrooms

Verdoie skincare product

Mushrooms are everywhere. They surround us in the woods when we go for a walk after a heavy spring rain. They’re omnipresent in recipes, both around the world and across the internet. They’ve even turned up in our coffee lately, so it was probably just a matter of time before they appeared in skincare products.
The company to thank for this latest development is a French firm called Verdoie, which just added a supplement called Le Complement Alimentaire to its existing line of mushroom-based moisturizers.

Is too much shower time bad for your skin? What a new study says

This study was conducted on eczema patients, and its good news for them

Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the last couple of years, you’ve probably read or heard a few things about the importance of our skin biome. It’s being compared in importance to our gut bacteria, which many researchers and scientists believe determines the strength of our immune system.
However, the rise of the skin biome has come with several unintended consequences. One is the idea that bathing too frequently or spending too much time in the shower weakens or damages the skin biome, but a recent study suggests that this might not be true at all.

This in-depth study was conducted on eczema patients

The fact that this study was conducted exclusively using eczema patients might seem like a good way to produce idiosyncratic results, but if you look at the details of the study, the struggles these people experience suggests a weaker skin biome that makes them ideal for this kind of test.
The Eczema Bathing Study was designed by people with eczema, together with researchers and healthcare professionals. Subjects were divided into two groups: Those who bathed or showered at least six times a week were classified as “daily bathing,” while those who showered or bathed once or twice a week were designated “weekly bathing.”
These people followed the same routine for four weeks, and they made no changes in their eczema routine, i.e., they used the same moisturizers and other skincare products to counter their condition. The amount of bathing is a vital variable for those struggling with eczema, and there were 438 people in the study, including both adults and children.
