Simplified skin care
Les Nouvelles Esthétiques & Spa
Founder of Jenetiqa Christiane Waldron writes: As I get ready to leave my house every morning, I ask my 12-year-old twin daughters the same question: Did you put your sunscreen on today? Unfortunately, I get the same response from them every day: an annoyed look with a dramatic eye roll and a sigh. Their arsenal consists of a moisturizer and a tinted cream with SPF 40. It takes about one minute to apply both. Despite how fast and easy it is, I go through the same exercise every day, which ends with me begging them to wear sunscreen, and reminding them that they will really thank me when they are in their 40s.
