Give Your Valentine a Gift that Shows You Care

Posted on January 29, 2017

Instead of the traditional sweets and flowers, consider giving your Valentine a good sunscreen or sun-protective clothing this Valentine’s Day and asking them to do the same for you.

This month is the perfect time to give gifts that show you love your special Valentine by giving them a skin protectant or anti-aging product. Why is it so important to protect against the sun’s harmful rays? Skin damage, premature aging and skin cancers are the reasons that we all should be keenly aware and proactive about safeguarding our skin.

UVA and UVB rays penetrate our atmosphere on more levels than most of us understand. For example, did you know that just driving in our cars, allows the UVB rays to penetrate through the window and can lead to skin damage or cancer if we don’t wear sunscreen? In Florida, we hopefully are all a little more conscious of applying sunscreen, but did you know it’s critical to reapply it every two hours?

The Woodruff Institute for Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery carries the highest quality skin care products on the market, including powerful sunscreens from Elta MD, which is a broad-spectrum suncare line for all skin types. Elta MD sunscreens block out both UVA and UVB rays. We also offer the stylish line of BloqUV Suncare clothing, which blocks out 98% of the sun’s harmful rays. There is even the very popular TURO Skincare line for men, which includes sunscreen options as well. The beautiful color pallets that are available from Jane Iredale’s mineral cosmetic line are loaded with natural ingredients like zinc and titanium dioxide, which are two of the key components that block out the sun’s harmful rays. Jane Iredale cosmetics are the perfect pairing to enhance your healthy skin’s natural beauty while protecting you from a sunburn or hyperpigmentation.

Along with these anti-aging products, we also offer the most advanced cosmetic dermatology, medical spa services and facial plastic surgery procedures, like injectables (Botox, Dysport & dermal fillers), laser skin resurfacing, IPL, body-sculpting with JuVaShape & TruSculpt, microneedling with Collagen PIN, brow lifts, neck lifts, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), rhinoplasty (nose reconstruction), chin augmentation and much more.
