Lipstick Protects Against Harmful UV Rays

For all the ladies that use lipstick as part of your daily beauty routine, you’re in luck. July 29TH is National Lipstick Day and mid-summer is the perfect time to honor one of women’s most beloved cosmetic products. Lipstick not only enhances beauty, it also acts as a barrier from wind, sun and other outdoor elements.

Summertime is hot and the outdoor environment can wreak havoc on your skin. Lips are often overlooked when it comes to protection from the sun. This can be a big problem since lips contain almost no melanin, the compound that protects us from the sun’s harmful rays. Wearing lipstick can shield your lips from harmful ultraviolet sun rays.

Choosing a matte finish with SPF 15 or higher will provide a better shield. Lip gloss and high-shine lipsticks act as a reflector and can draw UV rays to the area. If you do choose to go with a gloss, look for one that has an SPF of 30.

National Give Something Away Day

Top 5 Dental Gift Ideas

In the spirit of National Give Something Away Day, Westchase Premier Dental thought we would share our top 5 dental gift ideas for donating to charities, giving to someone in need, or to your friends and family. Each of these gifts will benefit their dental health, appearance, overall health, and is sure to put a smile on their face. Our Top 5 dental gift ideas are:

  1. Smile Squared Bamboo ToothbrushesSmile Squared bamboo toothbrushes are the perfect gift for the humanitarian in your life. Smile Squared donates one toothbrush to a child in need for every bamboo brush purchased.  They are a gift you can feel good about and they also come in eco-friendly packaging.
  1. Toothbrush Sanitizer – The average toothbrush contains millions of bacteria from E. coli to Staphylococci (Staph). You can get a toothbrush sanitizer at most health and beauty retailers from $10 to $30. They kill the germs and bacteria lurking on toothbrushes.
  1. Elect Toothbrush – A Sonicare toothbrush is an electric toothbrush that vibrates at 30,000 to 40,000 strokes per minute. A Sonicare or other electric toothbrush can clean areas that a conventional toothbrush simply cannot and vibrates at 30,000 to 40,000 strokes per minute. This allows you to enjoy a better smile and a healthier mouth.
  1. Teeth Whitening – Give the gift of confidence! In-office whitening treatment or professional take-home whitening trays are the perfect way to brighten someones smile and day. Professional treatments are far more superior than the over-the-counter options and leave teeth looking bright and new!
  1. Selfie Stick – A frequent selfie-taker will want to show their bright smile more often to their social media friends. This is the perfect gift for showing off your dedication to keeping your smile beautiful and healthy.
