Sunscreen is the base of any good beauty regimen and by focusing on healthy skin you can put less effort and money into disguising flaws. The blazing Sarasota summer makes sunblock a must while exploring downtown or relaxing at the beach. Bluemercury Spa on Main Street recently added Soleil Toujours skin care. “Everyone is looking for organic,” Bluemercury Beauty Consultant Alisha Pavacich says, and Soleil comes packed with red algae, vitamin C ester, vitamin E and bisabolol, an anti-inflammatory and aromatic. These elements act as a natural SPF booster, reduce UV-induced DNA damage, prevent loss of firmness, increase skin smoothness and decrease wrinkle depth. Soleil Toujours sunblocks vary from SPF 20 to 50 and run from $26 to $145. Additional Soleil Toujours products at Bluemercury include body oil, body mist and tinted sunscreen.
