Why is SPF so important?

• Protects from skin cancer
• Protects from photoaging
• Lowers the chances of developing hyperpigmentation
• Necessary to use after acid applications to avoid photosensitivity
• Preventative measures against anti-aging

Understanding SPF

SPF 15 = 93% protection
SPF 30 = 97% protection
SPF 50+ = 98% protection

Did you know there are different types of sunscreens? Chemical and physical ( mineral ) sunscreen.

Chemical Sunscreens

• Works as a sponge that absorbs the UV Rays and converts into heat

• Tends to be easier to rub into skin but takes 15-20 minutes to work

• Often uses toxic ingredients such as
Oxybenzone, Octinoxate, Homosalate, Octisalate and Avobenzone that are known hormone distruptors

👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻

Physical Sunscreens ( mineral )

• Starts working immediately when applied

• Environmentally friendly

• Non-Toxic

Look for the active ingredient Zinc Oxide and/or Titanium Dioxide.

-
A little backstory, I have been working as an esthetician for 5 years. I proudly graduated from Blanche Macdonald July of 2018. Since then I have worked for a spa, worked as a contractor and started my own business. I have enhanced my massages, taken courses, upgraded services and spent countless hours behind the scenes growing and learning.

Being an esthetician means never ending education and growth.
-
As I continue growing and learning I have spent an enormous amount of time getting educated about gut health and how that directly correlates with the health of our skin and mental well being as well as embracing the holistic approach to wellness. I want to help you achieve healthy skin from the inside out because healthy skin starts from within.
-
So grateful to be here doing what I love and it’s all thanks to you! Thank you to everyone who likes & shares my posts. Who follows me & who chooses me to be their esthetician! I am eternally grateful for each and every one of you.

Love & Light
Marissa ✨

Kindness is magic, sprinkle it everywhere ✨

Elastin is an essential natural complement to collagen and it plays a crucial role in the elasticity and hydration of the skin.

Elastin strengthens collagen fibers that break down over time.

The elastin fibers bind the collagen fibers making them stronger and more resistant. ( Example: we make a braid, if we don't put a hair tie then the braid does not hold )

Like collagen, the elastin molecule must remain intact. This is why Clayton Shagal uses a delicate extraction method that extends over approximately 30 days. Despite the fact that it is partially and slightly hydrolyzed and due to its size, the protein retains its natural structure which makes it soluble.

I am officially on vacation until the 15th! 🥳

Collagen will slow down the aging process by preserving and stimulating natural collagen production.

Elastin is a natural compliment to collagen and accelerates skin recovery, It also strengthens collagen fibers that break down over time.

To this day, Clayton Shagal is proud to hold the purest form of collagen ever extracted on the market. Having the power to pe*****te right down to the dermis without injection.

Experience the Clayton Shagal collagen difference.

The CS collagen molecule retains its complete and undenatured structure after its extraction, which makes it take on its value as an active substance.

Only non-hydrolyzed acid-soluble collagen whose structure is intact can be incorporated into the skin.
This formulation allows percutaneous pe*******on capable of crossing the natural protective barriers of the skin and allows the collagen fibers which are implanted to act deep in the connective tissues (dermis) for a visible effect.
