SuperScreen: Here to Save Our Skin!

Sometimes in life things happen that will always be remembered. Like when everyone found out cigarettes were bad for you, or we could go even further to when electricity was discovered. This feels like one of those moments. I know what you’re thinking, “Sally Ann, we’re talking about sunscreen, it can’t possibly be this exciting…” Well guess what? It is! Keep reading.
SkinMedica has just launched 3 new sunscreens by the name of TOTAL DEFENSE + REPAIR…also known as SUPERSCREEN.
Let’s meditate on that for a second. SUPERSCREEN. That’s a bold statement, don’t you think? Kind of like Superman…a well known super hero! So, based on the name alone, one could infer that this new SUPERSCREEN is not only super, but a hero of sunscreens. Step aside normal sunscreens, SUPERSCREEN is here to save the day (and our skin)!
When Dr. Forney heard about this SUPERSCREEN she, as always, looked at the facts and the studies. You know… intelligent doctor stuff. After all her diligent research she came out saying super things about this SUPERSCREEN.
“They are all chock full of antioxidants but what makes this product a game-changer, in my opinion, is that it blocks Infrared -A which penetrates to the subcutis.” -Dr. Forney

Hold the phone, Dr. Forney. What is Infrared-A? I thought we were protecting our skin from UVA/UVB rays!?
I did some reading myself and found that UV rays make up about 7% of the solar light, and the Infrared Rays (IR) comprise 54% of solar light. (Taken from MedScape article about infrared rays)
But, of course, Dr. Forney says it best: “[There is] data showing how much energy different levels of the skin receives. Turns out, only about 10% of light energy is UVA/UVB and 90% is visible and infrared.”
What an amazing breakthrough! How super is that? We now have a sunscreen that is more than tripling the level of protection other sunscreens can offer. AND it doesn’t just protect, it repairs! Halleluiah.
Without further ado I present you The SUPERSCREENS!
