“The question isn’t: should you use sunscreen? The question is: why would you not?”
How You Shield Your Skin from the Sun is a Key to Healthy Skin
Your skin holds a lot more power than you think. It is the largest organ on your body. It’s also the barrier between you and the sun. Your built-in shield between you and harmful rays deserves an enormous amount of attention. That’s why we believe a thoughtful sun care routine needs to be an integral step in your daily routine.
Sunscreen is one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect your skin from rays. Regular sunscreen usage will prevent sunburn—which leads to premature wrinkles, signs of aging and an increased risk of skin cancer. The question isn’t: should you use sunscreen? The question is: why would you not?
Not only do we carry an effective and safe line of sun safe products at select Waxing the City locations, we also have a staff of extremely experienced and invested Cerologists who understand the importance of using sunscreen and who can help you select the right sun protection for your skin.

Whether you use one product or all of them, we recommend applying it at least 15 minutes before makeup, if you’re wearing any. Then reapply throughout your day.
- Sun Shield Liquid SPF:
This lightweight tinted serum is broad-spectrum 50 SPF. It’s strong enough to protect your skin from harmful rays, but light enough to forget you’re wearing it. (Bonus: it doesn’t clog your pores). There’s a non-tinted version, if you’re simply looking for sunscreen. But there are also four tinted shades if you want to skip foundation and go for a less-is-more look.
2. Sun Shield SPF 28:
This broad-spectrum doesn’t leave a white film like other sunscreens. It’s lightweight with a matte finish, and it doesn’t clog bores or cause breakouts—thanks to its clean ingredient list. Aloe vera and vitamin E pack an extra punch of skin-soothers that will help you create calm, moisturized skin.
3. Replenishing Solar Defense Body Lotion:
This zinc-backed body lotion boasts an SPF of 50 and it will last in the water for up to 80 minutes. That’s one powerful sunscreen. It includes coconut oil and shea butter in its ingredient list; two important ingredients for keeping your skin soft. If you have sensitive skin, this lotion will be your new best friend, because it won’t irritate or clog pores.
Now go stock up and let loose for some fun in the sun!
