SPF, as many of you may not know, stands for Sun Protection Factor. It is a number assigned to the sunscreen to measure how well the product will protect the skin from the UVB rays. There are many sunscreen and sunblock products to choose from including lotions, sprays, gels, roll on and even foaming. So, it can be confusing to choose one and determine how often you should use it.
First of all, sunscreen should be worn year-round, even in cold weather, on the surface of any visible skin such as your face. It is important to protect your face because damage from the sun includes cancer and premature aging. At Shira Esthetics, we have our sunblock with an SPF 30. You can check it out here: https://shiraesthetics.com/sun-care-spf30.html We have other moisturizers with SPF including the Shir-Radiance Ester-C Collagen Moisturizer and our day creams in the Omega-3 line.
It’s All About the Numbers
The numbers associated with SPF levels are for letting consumers know how much protection from the sun they are receiving.
UVA and UVB rays
UVA rays are long-wave Ultra-Violet and UVB are short-wave Ultra Violet rays. UVB rays can burn into top layers of skin, while UVA rays penetrate deep into the dermis, which is the thickest layer of the skin.
Keeping your skin unprotected can cause premature skin aging, wrinkling, and may even suppress your immune system. Specifically, UVB rays will burn your skin’s superficial layers, which then puts you at a greater risk of developing skin cancer. When it all comes down to it, sunburned skin doesn’t just feel awful – it can cause even greater damage to your overall health.
Sunscreen vs Sunblock
While both sunscreen and sunblock may be used interchangeably in reference to sun protection lotions and sprays, there is actually a difference. Sunscreen uses different ingredients than sunblock. The ingredients in sunscreen are absorbed into the skin and literally “screen” the skin from the sun and reflect the rays while sunblock forms a barrier closer to the surface of the skin and “block” the rays from damaging the skin. The ingredients used in a sunblock typically include minerals and natural ingredients such as Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide.
High SPF
You will see many sunscreens with high SPF like 75 or 100. Those actually aren’t any more effective than SPF 50. Consumers assume they are getting way more protection from SPF 100 so they tend to stay out in the strong sun longer, and/or apply additional sun protection less often. In the long run, this can lead to more damage to your skin. Stick to SPF 40 or 50 and remember to re-apply!
It is also important to remember the need to protect your lips. Lips and ears are areas of the body often forgotten. They make special lip balms with SPF that are ideal for protecting your lips.

If you are dealing with dark under-eye circles, or other issues such as wrinkles or puffiness, you’re not alone. You might think that the only cause of under-eye circles is lack of sleep, but that isn’t the only source. In addition to dark eye circles being hereditary, did you know they can also be caused by oversleeping? Adults typically need 7-9 hours of sleep, so make sure you aren’t getting more than that amount of sleep on a regular basis. If sleeping too much or too little isn’t an issue and you still have under-eye darkness, do a quick evaluation of your stress levels. If you’re worried about your job, a family member’s health, the stock market or anything else, it could be a contributing factor to under-eye circles. Other culprits include allergies and aging.
There are many great products and home remedies to treat under-eye circles and puffiness. The first that usually comes to mind is sliced cucumber on the eyes. It is probably best to leave the cucumber slices for your salad and use a product like our Shir-Organic Cucumber Eye Cream for dark circles. For those who are interested in a USDA Organic eye cream, our Shir-Organic Basil & Bergamot Eye Cream is certified Organic! Included are Jojoba, Basil and Brazilian Babassu Oils which condition and hydrate skin. Organic Mango and Shea Butters offer emollients to soften and moisturize rough, dry skin creating a potent age-defying formula in a creamy lipid base.
If you are looking for a more innovative formulation, our Boto Derm Rx Instant Anti-Puffiness Eye Cream will do the trick! The blend of 4 clinically proven peptides, Oligopeptides, Tetrapeptides, Hexapeptides and Pentapeptides, work together to reduce eye puffiness within minutes and continue to provide an ongoing cumulative effect if used daily for a period of time.
The Shir-Radiance Instant Lift Collagen Eye Serum is a lightweight serum that helps to diffuse the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eye, often referred to as Crow’s Feet. The lactic acid will help improve dark circles under the eye.
At Shira Esthetics, we are dedicated to providing high-quality skin care products with equally high-quality customer service to our clients. Call us today to receive guidance on choosing an ideal eye cream to add to your skin care regimen.
For centuries, people have been looking for ways to delay the onset of wrinkles. People figured, while getting older couldn’t be stopped, at least they could remain looking young for as long as possible! The origins of preventing wrinkles isn’t anything new. Although Shira has been developing innovative skin care treatments since 1990, many ancient cultures including Greek, Indian, Chinese and Egyptian, developed their own ways to fight wrinkles, before anyone could buy anti-wrinkle cream and anti-aging products.
As one of the first societies to study cosmetology, Egyptians mixed natron and water to make a night cream. (Natron is a by-product of sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate.) Egyptians also were one of the first civilizations to use oils on their skin and hair to protect from the dry and hot climate of their land.
Greek women used honey and olive oil for moisturizing and protecting their skin. They also used these natural ingredients to create products that not only smelled good, but were beneficial to their skin. Many Greek women were also careful about limiting sun exposure to prevent wrinkles.
Indians also had their own skin care routines, including using sandalwood as a base for creams and medicines to clean and moisturize. It was also used to develop an anti-acne product by mixing it with turmeric. This created a paste that was left on overnight. Other ingredients they used in their skincare products included rosewater and other plants and herbs.
As time has passed, many modern anti-aging products and techniques have been discovered. Shira Esthetics is constantly learning and utilizing many new ingredients and formulations in our product lines. From our earlier product lines to the natural and organic fruit ingredients in the Shir-Organic line, to the advanced formulation of Pentavitin® in our Shir-Radiance line, Shira Esthetics has stayed on top of the latest ingredients to provide the best, and most advanced cosmeceuticals for our clients. Shira Esthetics has some of the best eye creams for wrinkles and best anti-aging creams, so be sure to visit our online store to see all our products!
Healthy Skin Resolutions for the New Year!
Everyone knows that losing weight and going to the gym top the list of New Year’s resolutions, but what about making a resolution to take better care of your skin?
If your skin has been dry and dull or showing signs of aging, now is the time to begin a skin care regimen by making it your New Year’s Resolution, and actually sticking to it.

(Read here why this is BAD!)
Of the numerous ways to achieve great skin, the first is having a good routine that consists of cleansing, exfoliating, treating and moisturizing and it really doesn’t take much time.
Shira Esthetics has several lines of products for all skin types and issues. Our on-site esthetician Jordanna can help you find the best products for whatever your skin concerns may be.
