There is no doubt that too much sun exposure is bad for your skin. Did you know that the sun can have negative effects on your hair too? At Ashka Salon Spa you can get your sun protection for your hair and skin with AVEDA products.

Sun Protection – Hair

If you are like me, you absolutely love the sun and want to soak up as much of it as possible during the summer. The issue I always seem to have is that by the end of summer, my hair very dry and fragile. Until recently, I never made the connection that it could be from sun exposure!

With extended sun exposure the UV rays from the sun can damage your hair just like it can your skin. It will cause your hair to feel thinner, dry, and brittle. Too much sun can even fade your hair color! Luckily, AVEDA does have a product designed specifically for sun protection. The Sun Care line by AVEDA is a must have for Michigan summers.

Here is a breakdown of everything included in the line!

AVEDA’s Sun Care Protective Hair Veil:

• Lightweight, waterproof mist.
• Protects from UV damage.
• Lasts for up to 16 hours.
• Great detangler.

AVEDA’s Sun Care After-Sun Hair Masque:

• Restores the look of sun-exposed hair.
• Plant oils help to moisturize the hair.
• Antioxidant blend helps to protect against free radicals.

AVEDA’s Sun Care Hair and Body Cleanser:

• Color-safe formula.
• Removes chlorine, salt, and product build up.
• Corn-derived chelator helps to remove minerals in chlorinated pool water that causes discoloration.

The best part about AVEDA’s Sun Care line is that it is so easy to just throw in my beach bag and know I have everything I need to protect my hair from the sun.

Sun Protection – Skin

It is much more common knowledge that overexposure to the sun can be detrimental to your skin. Beth, our lead esthetician at Ashka Salon Spa, told me today “If you want to stay young and beautiful, you need to start wearing a sunscreen on your face everyday”. Who doesn’t want that? AVEDA recently came out with a new product to protect your skin from the sun. It is the new Daily Light Guard.

AVEDA’s Daily Light Guard is super light weight. It is perfect to add to your skincare routine. It has 100% mineral-derived sunscreens. This product is dermatologist tested and it great for all skin types because it is non-acnegenic.

As I get older, I realize how important it is to guard yourself from the sun. I am so happy that AVEDA recognizes this as well. I can’t wait to pick up these products from Ashka Salon Spa tomorrow so that I am 100% ready for summer! Hopefully I’ll see you there.

Until Next Time,

Josie 🙂
