The Regimen

The Perfect Daytime Moisturizer Includes SPF

To protect from the ravages of UV and environmental damage, a daily SPF is non-negotiable. But where does it fit in your regimen and is it possible to find one that wears well under makeup and doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy and heavy?

An SPF doesn’t have to add a step to your routine. Save your heavier moisturizer for bedtime and use a single multi-tasker that provides both moisture and sun protection in the morning. Vivant’s Day Treatment Lotion SPF 15 is just that. Apply it after your serum. It’s best to wait about ten minutes in between to allow your serum to absorb fully. Brush your teeth and do your eyebrows in the meantime to keep on schedule.

Day Treatment Lotion glides on and absorbs quickly without any hint of sticky residue so it won’t interfere with makeup application or wear. You can even mix it with loose mineral powder to create a base and skip the foundation.

The light, non-comedogenic formula gets a healing and rejuvenating boost from zinc peptides, which reduce inflammation and promote cell regeneration, and whole leaf aloe, which is a potent healer and regenerist that also inhibits the melanin-stimulating enzyme tyrosinase.

With a broad-spectrum SPF of 15, Day Treatment Lotion provides the sun protection you need without chemicals you don’t.

Daily sun protection is important all year long, but even more so as we head toward summer. You don’t have to be spending time outdoors to be getting sun. Just driving to and from work can be a source of UV radiation. Glass effectively blocks UVB, and windshields are specially treated to block UVA as well, but a car’s side and rear windows allow UVA to penetrate.

The four-ounce bottle is the perfect size for travel or gym bag. Keep one handy in all the places where you might require a top up.
