Organic 30 SPF Sunblock Facestick

Sea & Summit Facestick

SPF 30

Made from 6 Unrefined Raw Organic ingredients you can pronounce

Our Organic SPF 30 Sunblock Facestick by Sea and Summit was designed by a local lifeguard. He grew tired of the chemical sunscreens that were damaging to the environment and body. He created this facestick along with the help of experience chemists with ease of use and eco-friendly consciousness in mind. After a few years the Sea & Summit SPF 30 Facestick was born. This easy to use organic 30 SPF sunblock facestick is a great travel sunblock! The bamboo lid holds nicely in any travel bag and the easy to apply sun protection is gentle on skin making a fabulous choice for little ones.

Usage

This organic 30 SPF sunblock facestick is good for all outdoor activities and water sports. Its not just a facestick either. You can use it anywhere your body needs protection from the sun. Remember, clothing is the best protection. Apply wherever you need sun protection, rub in with one swipe, and be done! Re-apply as needed based on your individual skin type.

Why doesn’t it say “waterproof” or an amount of minutes for water resistance?

Because it’s now illegal to label any sunscreen as “waterproof” and water resistance testing is not applicable to real world usage. Do you think sitting in a fresh water bath is the same as swimming in a pool or the ocean? We Lifeguards don’t either! So we decided our real world testing will develop a reputation on its’ own of being an awesome formula that’s super water resistant. So, Yes, it’s excellent for water sports!

La Bella Donna Translucent Sun Protection

SPF 20

Shade #1

Micronized Titanium Dioxide, a non-chemical sun protection

Bismuth Oxychloride, an anti-inflammatory

Zinc Oxide, an anti-inflammatory

Iron Oxides, source of colour

Shade #2

LBD Translucent Sun Protection is offered for both men and women.

This sun protection is all natural, pure translucent mineral formula.  

It lasts all day without re-application and provides complete protection from all UVA/UVB infrared rays. It does not contain any FD&C dyes, oils, fragrance, alcohol, parabens, cornstarch or other chemicals. Soothing and calming, LBD-Women can be used on rash-prone skin, eczema, allergy-prone skin (with a near-zero allergy rate) and sensitive skin. This mineral sun protection keeps the skin naturally cool (even when sitting in the sun) and reduces perspiration, doesn’t irritate like chemical sunscreens.

Shade #3

Micronized titanium dioxide and Zinc oxide are the key. These minerals are naturally occurring and do not clog pores or dry out the skin. It works quite remarkably. Basically, it allows light to pass through the visible ray region (light that is needed for healthy development of skin) while intercepting the ultraviolet rays.  Micronized titanium dioxide and Zinc Oxide guard against the damaging effects of ultraviolet rays, yet gives the skin a natural looking finish. Research shows micronized titanium dioxide and zinc oxide provide a natural barrier to UVA and UVB radiation without irritation, burning or stinging.

You can purchase this product by going to our online store or by stopping into our Organic Boutique at 21 W. Gutierrez St.

Deep Tissue Massage

What you should know before booking a deep tissue massage

Deep Tissue Massage is designed to relieve severe tension in the muscle and the connective tissue or fascia. This type of massage focuses on the muscles located below the surface of the top muscles. Deep tissue massage is often recommended for individuals who experience consistent pain, are involved in heavy physical activity, such as athletes, and patients who have sustained physical injury. It is also not uncommon for receivers of Deep Tissue Massage to have their pain replaced with a new muscle ache for a day or two.

Deep tissue work varies greatly. What one calls deep tissue another will call light. When receiving deep tissue work it is important to communicate what you are feeling.

How does deep tissue massage work? When there is chronic muscle tension or injury, there are usually adhesions (bands of painful, rigid tissue) in muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Adhesions can block circulation and cause pain, limited movement, and inflammation. Deep tissue massage works by physically breaking down this adhesion to relieve pain and restore normal movement. To do this, the massage therapist often uses direct deep pressure or friction applied across the grain of the muscles. If this is persistent pain, there will be a need to see a professional like a physical therapist. This can be sorted through websites like https://www.getluna.com/orange-county-physical-therapy so you get the correct help.

Will deep tissue massage hurt? At certain points during the massage, most people find there is usually some discomfort and pain. It is important to tell the massage therapist when things hurt and if any soreness or pain you experience is outside your comfort range. There is usually some stiffness or pain after a deep tissue massage, but it should subside within a day or so. The massage therapist may recommend applying ice to the area after the massage. If you have poor mobility then there is the probability your mobility may decrease. If nessessary you may need to have a mobile deep tissue massage therapist come to your home to perform the massage.
