Why Colorado's Sun Exposure is Unique
Located at over 5,000 feet above sea level, Aurora and the greater Denver metropolitan area experience significantly heightened UV radiation compared to cities at lower elevations. The thinner atmosphere allows less UV light to be filtered out, meaning your skin faces greater challenges each day to manage sun exposure inherent to life in this region.
With the outdoor lifestyle embraced by many Coloradans—whether skiing, hiking, cycling, or simply enjoying time at altitude—effective sun protection is essential. It stands as the most crucial step you can take to safeguard your skin and maximise the results of every treatment you undertake.
At ZenVita Medspa, we proudly stock Colorescience, recognised as the gold standard in mineral sun protection and a highly regarded skincare brand within the field of aesthetic medicine.
What Sets Colorescience Apart?
Colorescience is a premium medical-grade skincare line, renowned for its mineral-based SPF products. Its iconic Sunforgettable® Total Protection brush-on sunscreen has gained immense popularity in medspas and dermatology clinics across the United States.
Unlike chemical sunscreens that absorb UV rays via a chemical reaction, Colorescience formulations employ mineral filters, predominantly zinc oxide, which physically reflect UV radiation before it can reach the skin. This results in a gentler product, ideal for sensitive and post-treatment skin, offering immediate effectiveness upon application and avoiding potentially irritating chemical UV filters.
The Importance of Colorescience After Medspa Treatments
If you have undergone treatments like Morpheus8, Xerf, laser therapies, chemical peels, or microneedling at ZenVita, exposing your skin to the sun without protection is one of the quickest ways to reverse your results. Post-treatment skin is more susceptible to UV damage, which can lead to the return of pigmentation, disruption of collagen stimulation, and a significant compromise of the improvements you have worked hard to achieve.
Colorescience products are specifically designed for use after procedures. They are gentle enough for freshly treated skin yet effective enough to provide genuine protection.
Why Colorescience Suits Colorado’s Active Lifestyle
The brush-on SPF is ideal for quick reapplication over makeup or during outdoor activities. It fits conveniently in your pocket, ensuring you will use it regularly. Its water-resistant formulations are perfect for the active Colorado lifestyle. Tinted options offer light coverage in addition to sun protection, allowing many clients to replace their foundation or primer and streamline their morning routines.
