If you live in Colorado, you probably enjoy many outdoor activities. Did you know that even if you wear sunscreen, exposure to the sun results in skin damage and photoaging. We live in a state where the outdoor lifestyle is a given. I spend a good deal of my time in the summer both hiking and farming as well as going to outdoor festivals. Mrs. Longmont, Beth Samples, tells me she gets outside for long walks, gardening as well as enjoying the great summer festivals we have in downtown Longmont.

Being outdoors has many health benefits, including boosting vitamin D levels, and we should enjoy time outside daily. However, if you spend a lot of time outside you may have noticed how it affects your skin. Exposure to the sun and the environment induces free radical formation which accelerates photoaging. UV radiation causes degradation of collagen and elastic fibers of the matrix causing loss of elasticity and wrinkle formation.

Colorado Aromatics Cultivated Skin Care formulates products for the Colorado lifestyle using the power of both herbs and science. This natural skin care line incorporates a wide range of botanical antioxidants and anti-inflammatories to help decrease the negative effects of sun and weather on the skin.
