Why Colorado's Sun Exposure is Unique
Situated at an altitude exceeding 5,000 feet, Aurora and the surrounding Denver metropolitan area experience heightened levels of UV radiation compared to cities at lower elevations. The thinner atmosphere permits more UV light to reach your skin, meaning your skin faces greater challenges daily to cope with sun exposure.
With an active lifestyle embraced by most Coloradans—whether it's skiing, hiking, cycling, or spending time outdoors—sun protection becomes essential. It is the most crucial action you can take to safeguard your skin and enhance the effectiveness of every treatment you undergo.
At ZenVita Medspa, we proudly stock Colorescience, renowned as the gold standard in mineral sun protection and one of the most reputable skincare brands in aesthetic medicine.
What Sets Colorescience Apart?
Colorescience is a medical-grade skincare brand recognised for its mineral-based SPF products, including the iconic Sunforgettable® Total Protection brush-on sunscreen, a must-have in medspas and dermatology clinics throughout the US.
In contrast to chemical sunscreens that absorb UV rays through a chemical reaction, Colorescience uses mineral filters—primarily zinc oxide—that physically deflect UV radiation before it touches the skin. This results in a gentler formulation, ideal for sensitive and post-treatment skin. These products offer immediate protection upon application and do not contain potentially irritating chemical UV filters.
The Importance of Colorescience After Medspa Treatments
If you've invested in treatments like Morpheus8, Xerf, laser procedures, chemical peels, or microneedling at ZenVita, exposing your skin to the sun without protection can rapidly diminish your results. Post-treatment skin is particularly susceptible to UV damage, which can lead to the return of pigmentation, disrupted collagen stimulation, and a noticeable compromise in the improvements you worked hard to achieve.
Colorescience products are tailor-made for use after procedures. They are gentle enough for recently treated skin while providing effective protection.
Colorescience: Ideal for Active Colorado Lifestyles
The brush-on SPF is designed for easy reapplication over makeup or during outdoor activities. It fits conveniently in a pocket and takes only seconds to apply, encouraging consistent use. Water-resistant formulations cater to the dynamic Colorado lifestyle. Tinted options offer light coverage while providing sun protection, allowing many clients to skip foundation or primer for a simpler morning routine.
