melanoma awareness month: protect yourself with the new UV app!

It's that time of the year again...time to get outside, enjoy the warm weather, hit the beach and get a healthy dose of sunshine. After all, we could all use some extra vitamin D, right? But while you're basking in its glow, keep in mind that May is Melanoma awareness month and you need to do everything possible to protect yourself from those harmful UV rays and keep yourself from becoming another statistic.

As part of La Roche-Posay’s SOS — Save Our Skin campaign that encourages daily sun safety through education and awareness--the brand has launched a new iPhone application, “My UV Check,” that uses location-based services to assess the strength of sun rays. Studies show that regular use of sunscreen led to a 50% decrease in melanoma. With ‘My UV Check,’ choosing which SPF factor to bring to the beach has never been easier.

MY UV CHECK is the first application on the market that measures both the UVA and UVB index, provides individualized sun risk diagnosis, shows you how to check your own skin for suspicious lesions/moles, and explores the Anthelios range for individualized product recommendations and to find the closest store near you.

happy mother's day: a little spritz goes a long way

Simply put: You've got kids...you need peace. This is a great mother's day gift for moms who just need to chill and take some time for themselves. Sprayology’s special beauty and wellness kit is specially designed with moms in mind.

Sprayology is a chic collection of all-natural oral sprays founded by three top female executives with former past lives in the high-fashion world (i.e. Chanel, Christian Dior, Vincent Longo, etc.). They know what it takes to be superwomen and founded Sprayology as the new way to gain better balance and harmony. After all, better health is beautiful.

New for this Mother’s Day, Sprayology is launching a special “Just Relax Mom” gift set ($32) to help your mom look and feel great from the inside out. This gift set includes three of Sprayology’s top-selling oral sprays:

• Stress Relief – When you just can't get to the spa...This fast‐acting restorative spray contains eight natural ingredients, including passion flower to calm nerves, oats to ease anxiety, cinchona plant to reduce mood swings and valerian root to address irritability.

• Body Balance – Since your skin needs a little TLC too...This breakthrough spray includes homeopathic infusions of Rhus Toxicodendron to soothe dry skin, stinging nettle to reduce inflamed skin and spurge olive and mineral sulphur to relieve itchiness.

• B12 + Folic Acid – If you don't have time to take your vitamins...This spray is particularly important for women. It provides a substantial energy boost. B‐12 is important for the body's system of enzymes (substances that promote chemical reactions in the body) and to maintain a healthy nervous system. Vitamin B‐12 works in conjunction with Folic Acid to build the genetic material of cells and, specifically, the blood cells in bone marrow. B‐12 and Folic Acid are essential daily vitamins. Folic Acid can help prevent heart disease later in life.

It's not too late to purchase it for your mom. Go to www.sprayology.com to place your order and tell mom peace is on the way.
