Winter Skincare Routine
10 tips for a successful transition from Summer to Fall and Winter skincareAs we move into the colder season, everyone starts talking about changing your skincare routine, and how to adjust to the change in weather. But what does this mean? Here are 10 easy tips to help you successfully transition to a colder weather skincare routine, and keep that summer glow all winter long! 1. Time for a fresh start – after the summer months, time for some good exfoliating, especially if you have been too busy to do it regularly over the summer. Pick your favorite exfoliators and get rid of those dead skin cells to help your skin recover.2. What is your main goal? Did you abuse your skin this summer, do you need to help your skin recover from too much sun? Or is it more about adjusting to colder and dryer temperatures? Taking inventory of your skin’s needs will help you pick the right additional treatments (serums, masks). It might make sense to schedule a visit with your dermatologist to get an expert advice so that you can build the best routine for your skin type. 3. Cleansing is essential, especially if you use SPF every day (as you should!). Make sure you continue to cleanse regularly at night. Depending on your skin type, consider switching to a gentler or less drying cleansing routine (cleansing balm, oil or milk are good options). 4. Don’t skip the toners! They play an important role in your evening and morning routine. Make sure your toners are not too drying. 5. Serum extravaganza! It’s become so easy to find a serum that fits your specific skin’s needs. It is also easy to combine several serums for optimal results. Do your research, review blogs, see some of our favorites below. Our MD Revitalize Retinol Serum is a great option to add Retinol to your routine, combined with calming ingredients that will help rejuvenate your skin overnight.6. Moisturizer, lotion or gels? Yes to all, this will depend on your skin type and preference. It is best to have a different Day and Night Moisturizer. It’s very likely that you will need to switch to a richer moisturizer in the winter months, or maybe add a richer night cream, and stick to the same day moisturizer. Or you could add a more hydrating serum at night. If your skin is well hydrated at night, you might be able to use the same daily moisturizer you used in the summer. 7. Make up, foundation, tinted moisturizer? Once your summer glow is gone, you have many options to choose from. Here too, you can get a more or less moisturizing or covering formula. Check our Mineral Tinted Crème SPF 30 or our MD Mineral BB Créme SPF 50 as great options with built-in SPF. 8. SPF… did someone say SPF? While there are less UVA rays in the winter months (the ones that cause sun burns), the sun is still powerful enough to damage your skin, and there are actually more UVA rays, the ones responsible for skin aging. Remember that it’s not just about the red burn you get after being exposed to the sun, but more about the long term skin aging process you may not notice every day… wear SPF 😊 9. Chapped lips? Reach for your favorite Lip balm. We are partial to our new tinted lip balm with SPF 30, packed with rich natural oils and butters, vegan formula, with just the right amount of sheer tint. 👄10. Self Care Sunday. Don’t skip it. Get a hydrating mask, take care of the delicate eye area, go a day without make up, drink cucumber water or a hot tea, close your eyes and breathe. 2020 is almost over! Now if this feels like too much, stick to the basics: cleanse, moisturize and SPF with good quality products. Like in other areas of life, quality will outlast quantity. Check out our blog on Skincare routines by skin types to pick the products that will work best for your skin. And don’t hesitate to email info@mdsolarsciences.com with any questions.

Tik Tok Skincare
June, 2020 You may have read an article or two about Hyram, the new face of Skincare. Hyram is a Youtube and Tik Tok sensation and self professed "skincare junkie"! In a few months, he has gained millions of followers on these two social media platforms. He is shy of a million followers on Instagram, has 3 million subscribers on Youtube and…. is almost at 6 million followers on Tik Tok. In April 2020, Hyram came across our MDSolarSciences Mineral Crème SPF 50 and made us blush with his amazing review on Youtube. Here are a few highlights, check out his full video at the link below: MDSolarSciences Mineral Crème SPF 50 in a nutshell… “When I looked at the ingredient list, I was so impressed because it’s fragrance-free, it’s formulated with 17% zinc oxide which is very high and it claimed to have a matte finish” If we had to summarize our Mineral Crème SPF 50, this would be a great quote. Mineral Crème SPF 50 does have a great ingredient list with a powerful combination of antioxidants (green tea, pomegranate extract) and calming ingredients like cranberry extract. It’s also oil free and does contain a high % of Zinc Oxide. But it will not leave a pasty white feeling like some other zinc sunscreens! It’s all about the finish and the feel… Of all the mineral formulas he has tried, we were so excited to hear him say that he was so impressed with the finish and feel of ours. “I am most impressed by the finish of this one, it literally leaves your skin looking so blurred and matte, most sunscreens will usually leave kind of that shiny appearance” Mineral Creme SPF 50 works very well as a primer, and does have a matte finish that contrasts with most other SPF daily moisturizers. SPF 50! “It is SPF 50 not SPF 30 which is also really hard to find with a mineral sunscreen” Could not agree more, especially with this kind of texture. So to put it in a nutshell, and in Hyram’s words: And if you decide to check out the Skincare trend on Tik Tok, we recommend following: @skincarebyhyram @208skindoc @dr.tomassian @dermdrbritt @whatsonvisface For a more in-depth look at ingredients, check out our blog on ‘Ingredients with intentions’ to learn all about the unique ingredients we include in our formulas.

Reef Safe Sunscreen
Reef Safe Sunscreen, does it matter beyond the reef? At MDSolarSciences, we take our commitment to sustainability very seriously and it has come to life in 3 important ways. Our commitment to Humans - Our mineral formulas are made with Eco-Cert Zinc Oxide.- Our collection is PABA free, oxybenzone and octinoxate free, paraben free.- All our SPF formulas have the Skin Cancer Foundation seal for Daily or Active protection.- All our SPF formulas are gentle enough for children 6 months or older. Our commitment to the environment - We have been Reef Safe since the beginning.- Our formulas are waterless.- Several of our products are top EWG rated (Environmental Working Group).- Our cartons are made in a facility powered with wind energy, thus reducing our carbon footprint. Our commitment to Animals - Our formulas are Cruelty Free and we do not test on animals. Before we dive into the heart of the matter, let's make sure we all know what we are talking about here. What does it mean for a sunscreen or sunblock product to be reef safe or reef friendly? Since there are no official guidelines, it can be confusing. Most companies and non-profits agree that products made without oxybenzone or octinoxate are reef safe or reef friendly. In 2008, the governor of Hawaii signed a bill into law to ban the sale of any sunscreens made with these two chemicals. The city of Key West voted a similar ban, and these will both come into effect in January 2021. The intention is to help preserve our fragile marine ecosystems. Why oxybenzone and octinoxate? These two common chemicals have been found to cause coral bleaching. Coral bleaching happens when the coral expels the algae living in its tissues, turning it white. The algae provide the coral reef with nutrients. While the reef can survive a short-term episode of coral bleaching, it becomes weaker and is subject to mortality. Now we can all agree that we (and the environment) are better off without these two chemicals. But does it matter beyond the reef? Should I buy products that are 'Reef Safe' if I am not an avid snorkeler, traveling to Hawaii, or swimming in the ocean? The Environmental Working Group ranks Oxybenzone and Octinoxate as the most toxic among sunscreen filters. They both penetrate into the bloodstream. There is some, but insufficient, data showing that they may cause hormone disruption. The answer is clear, a reef safe sunscreen is going to be better for the environment AND for you and your family.

Skincare Routines
When it comes to selecting the best skincare routine, there are so many things to consider. At MDSolarSciences, we stand behind our science backed formulas that were developed by dermatologists and continue to be recommended by some of the top skincare experts in the country. What we also love, is that some of the hottest ingredients in skincare right now are all in our formulas: Niacinamide, Retinol, Aloe, Tea Tree oil, Ceramides (to name a few)! To achieve skin wellness, and make sure you are selecting the best products to fit into your morning or night routine, let’s look at some of the most common skin concerns. Keep in mind that if you have a specific question, you can always reach out to our Customer Service team by emailing us at info@mdsolarsciences.com. Regardless of your skin type or concern, first consider adding these 3 important steps into your skincare routine: 1) Take time to care for your skin at night to help it rebuild overnight. These 5-10 minutes are a great investment into how your skin will look the next day and for years to come. 2) Wear sun protection every day – even inside! It should be Broad Spectrum and ideally Water Resistant. 3) In general, stay away from synthetic fragrances that can be irritating. If you have DRY SKIN MDSS picks: Revitalizing Eye Gel - Rich in peptides and antioxidants. It also contains caffeine and Niacinamide, these will help reduce the appearance of puffiness, dark circles and fine lines! It penetrates quickly, delivers a hydrating and calming formula to the sensitive eye area for a refreshed look in the morning. Apply with your ring finger. If you don’t already do that, it will be a game changer. It’s your weakest finger, it’s the perfect amount of pressure for that area. Evening Retinol Serum - Lightweight and moisturizing, with just the right mix of retinol, Niacinamide and Aloe. It will help improve the texture of your skin over time. You only need one full pump for your face. Make sure you seal this with your favorite heavy-duty moisturizer so your skin can reload overnight. The next morning, cleanse again. Apply your morning routine and finish with the Daily Perfecting Moisturizer SPF 30, rich in antioxidants, peptides and calming ingredients. It has a lightweight texture, its mix of time-released moisturizers and humectants will keep your skin hydrated all day. Works great as a primer. If you have SENSITIVE SKIN The keywords here are gentle ingredients but effective formulas! MDSS Picks: Revitalizing Eye Gel – rich in peptides and antioxidants. It delivers a hydrating and calming formula to the sensitive eye area for a refreshed look in the morning. Make sure you apply it with your ring finger. It can be used morning and night. MD Mineral BB Créme SPF 50 – it’s important to protect sensitive skin from the sun and use a sunscreen that is SPF 30 or higher. For Sensitive skin, we recommend using a mineral sunscreen, less likely to irritate the skin. Our Mineral Beauty Balm SPF 50 is a game changer, recently named one of the top 12 best BB creams of the summer by Allure! It has an incredible whipped texture, comes in several shades and is perfect as a primer. It’s also great on its own with a little blush, and lip color for a natural makeup look. If you have OILY SKIN One of the biggest misconceptions is that oily skin does not need to be moisturized… MDSS Picks: Evening Retinol Serum – it contains encapsulated retinol at a concentration that is just below prescription strength (.75). If you’re concerned about using Retinol, start in stages (2 nights a week and building up over the course of 3-4 weeks). Keep in mind that you don’t need to use a lot of product, use a ‘pump worth’ of serum and pat it over your face. We love to use the Korean skincare technique where you pat the serum in using your hands spread out on each side of your face. Make sure you seal this with your favorite moisturizer and let Retinol do its work. In the morning, on cleansed skin and after your daily routine, use the Daily Perfecting Moisturizer SPF 30, rich in antioxidants, Vitamin C, peptides and calming ingredients. It has a lightweight texture and penetrates quickly leaving a matte finish. If you are looking for ANTI AGING skincare Our formulas all contain a combination of antioxidants, repair and calming ingredients that work together to help reduce the signs of aging, most often caused by sun damage. Check out our blog ‘Ingredients with Intentions’ to read about the specific benefits behind all the ‘superfoods’ that make up our formulas.

CLEAN UP
We should wear sunscreen. We know. Our dermatologists remind us every time we finally stop by for that essential checkup. Plus, many beauty articles get around to dropping the hint about damaging sun rays. Yet who hasn’t had some less-than-fun-in-the-sun experiences with sunscreen-greasy, turns our skin white, feels heavy- and/or stumble on the pronunciation of at least one of the ingredients. Time for a clean start this summer, because MDSolarSciences has a collection of natural, ultra-smooth, mineral SPF formulas that are also reef-safe and cruelty-free as well as follow the safety standards set forth by the Environmental Working Group (EWG). That covers all the bases. Fairfield Living magazine was lucky enough to grab a moment with its CEO, Renee Plato to ask a few questions. Q: Why don’t people wear sunscreen? Renee: “One of the top reasons many people don’t wear sunscreen is that they don’t like the way it feels. Most SPF formulas just don’t feel good. They can be goopy, greasy, sticky, leave a white cast or sting eyes. MDSolarSciences products are especially formulated to feel amazing on, while being highly effective. We pride ourselves in having some of the best feeling, clean and natural SPF formulas on the market. Our formulas have a heritage of leveraging science to ensure every product provides healthy protection, helps repair the skin and prevents from future environmental damage such as sun or blue light. Another reason many people don’t wear sunscreen is they believe they’re getting SPF protection in their makeup or daily moisturizers. This may be the case, but unless you’re wearing a 30 SPF or greater, you may not be getting the level of protection you need on a daily basis. The sun and environmental factors are more severe than even ten years ago. That has had a significant impact on the health of our skin, the body’s largest organ. We need to continually educate consumers on the importance of SPF as a daily habit - not only for adults, but also children.” Q: How is MDSolarSciences different? Renee: “MDSolarSciences is doctor developed by Robert J. Friedman, M.D., a leading dermatological oncologist, and clinical professor at the NYU School of Medicine. Our formulas are first and foremost science backed and clean; free of any toxic ingredients that are harmful to skin and alter endocrine functions, which can happen with most chemical-based sunscreens that use oxybenzone or octinoxate. Our products live at the intersection of “clean” and “clinical”, a phrase we’ve coined as “cleanical”. Unlike many cosmetic SPF brands, we’re dedicated to true skin wellness through the creation of luxurious, clean products that feel wonderful on the skin, are safe for all skin types and the environment - no harsh chemicals. It’s what’s not in our formulas that makes us special. MDSolarSciences is vegan and gluten, paraben and fragrance free, won’t clog pores and is free from any nanos and oils. At the heart of MDSolarSciences is another unique point of difference; Our proprietary ProVention-R™ technology, a unique combination of cutting-edge antioxidants, calming and repair complexes with key ingredients such as peptides, naturally derived CoQ10, green tea, pomegranate, aloe, seaweed, vitamin E and more. These complexes deliver unique and relevant anti-aging and reparative benefits that, over time, will improve the quality of your skin. Not your average SPF skincare. We are proud to be Environmental Working Group top rated, a reference in our industry, and all of our SPF formulas are backed by the American Skin Cancer foundation.” Q: What does reef-safe and cruelty-free mean? Renee: “Common sunscreen ingredients, such as oxybenzone, octinoxate or aminobenzoic acid, are actually known to irritate skin and cause harm to ocean life by accelerating coral bleaching - essentially killing coral reefs. We never formulate with these ingredients. Our formulas have always been safe for people of all ages and for the environment. All consumer products need to be far more aware of the impact being made to the environment. Something as intrinsic to sea as sunscreen/SPF should have this as an underlying mission. Our products are also cruelty-free, which means that there is no animal testing anywhere in our supply chain.” Q: What’s the latest news? Renee: “This year, we launched a hydrating lip balm with SPF, a perfect balance of hydration – avocado oil – sheer coverage with a lovely hint of tint. We are always listening to our customers and developing formulas that work for them and go that extra mile to deliver protection and restorative complexes. Over the next several months we will be expanding our distribution to additional omnichannel and natural retailers. We see a lot of room in the market for skin-wellness products that feel great to wear and deliver true results.” By Diane SembrotAs featured in Fairfield Living Magazine, July/August 2020 Edition Photography credits: Tomira Wilcox

No more 'sunscream' days!
We all remember fun times in the sun as kids, and we may also remember the dreadful moment when our parents would ask us to put sunscreen on. It did not always smell good, it did not always feel good and you certainly did not want to ‘reapply’! Fast forward to today, and thankfully, those dreadful ‘sunscream’ days are over. Why? Because dermatologists have worked hard to develop formulas that blend in smoothly, feel great to wear, are safe for people and for the environment! It’s so important to teach our kids that sun protection should be part of our daily routine, just like brushing your teeth. Here is a checklist to help you choose the right sunscreen for your child: The first and most important thing is that babies under the age of 6 months should stay out of the sun because their skin is highly sensitive. Sun protective clothing and shade structures are the best way to safeguard infants according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. For babies and kids over 6 months, make sure you use a Sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher for everyday use, and SPF 30 or higher for a day outdoors. Make sure to select a Broad-Spectrum sunscreen that will block both UVA and UVB rays. Check whether your sunscreen is water resistant, and for how long. Apply sunscreen 30 minutes prior to going outdoors and reapply every 2 hours or after swimming and towel drying. Apply on all exposed skin, face and body. Remember to also apply a lip protection with SPF, we often forget to protect our lips. Be generous, you should use the equivalent of a shot glass on an adult’s body for each application. Obviously, adjust the quantity according to the size of your child! Of course, we are partial to KidCréme SPF 50 when it comes to little ones… here’s what one happy parent had to say about it: “Here is what I LOVE about this sunscreen 1) NO funny smell 2) Kids actually willing to put on sunscreen on themselves 3) ... It’s easy to put on; and their face, arm and leg are not left with white residue. 4) ... It’s almost as if this is a combo of moisturizer and sunscreen. If you kids are like mine, who hates sunscreen. This is definitely something to try out” We could not have said it better. Let’s recap and see why it checks all the boxes: Kidcreme is unscented, no unpleasant sunscreen smell, no synthetic fragrances. It’s creamy, easy to apply and goes on silky smooth. It’s made with non-Nano zinc oxide which blends instantly and easily onto skin, no white cast. It’s a Broad-Spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50. Because it’s a mineral formula, it will not sting your child’s eyes. It contains Vitamin E and antioxidants (cranberry and pomegranate extracts) Formula is reef safe, which means it does not contain Oxybenzone or Octinoxate, two ingredients known to damage the reef. (You can bring it to Hawaii with you if you are lucky enough to visit!) All MDSolarSciences formulas are cruelty free. KidCreme is safe for all skin types, even the most sensitive, acne or rosacea prone skin. Regardless of where you spend the summer, make sure you help protect your little ones’ skin and show them how to develop good sun habits for the future. Have a great summer and stay safe!
