Protect Your Glow: Skin Cancer Awareness Month, Colorescience, and Sun Safety at Wildflower Estetica

Sun Safety Isn’t Optional: Protecting Your Skin Year-Round

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month—a timely reminder that protecting your skin isn’t just about beauty, it’s about health. As an esthetician committed to sustainability and holistic care, I want to highlight the importance of daily sun protection, share how Colorescience leads the way in safe SPF, and celebrate their recognition by the American Cancer Society.

Why Sun Protection Matters

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, but it’s also one of the most preventable. Wearing sunscreen every day (yes, even in Olympia’s cloudy weather!) is one of the simplest ways to lower your risk. The challenge? Finding an SPF that’s safe, effective, and feels good on your skin.

Why I Trust Colorescience

At Wildflower Estetica, I’ve chosen Colorescience for a reason. Their mineral sunscreens are gentle, reef-safe, and packed with skin-loving ingredients. They’re free of chemical filters, fragrance, and dyes—perfect for sensitive skin and eco-conscious clients.

But it’s more than just my stamp of approval: Colorescience’s Total Protection™ Face Shield and Sunforgettable® Brush-On Shield have earned the American Cancer Society’s Skin Cancer Seal of Recommendation. That means you can trust their formulas to deliver broad-spectrum, dermatologist-approved protection.

Colorescience & the American Cancer Society: A Powerful Partnership

The American Cancer Society (ACS) is a leader in cancer research and prevention. Their Skin Cancer Seal of Recommendation is only awarded to sunscreens that meet strict safety and efficacy standards. Colorescience’s mineral SPFs are among the select few to receive this honor, making them a top choice for anyone serious about sun safety.

Join Us for Sunscreen Education Events!

To celebrate Skin Cancer Awareness Month, Wildflower Estetica is hosting two outdoor sunscreen education events on May 16th & 23rd. Stop by for live demos, giveaways (including Colorescience favorites), and exclusive event promotions. Test your sun safety knowledge, learn about the right SPF for your skin, and discover why Colorescience is my go-to for everyday protection.

Let’s Protect Our Skin, Together

Whether you’re a longtime client or new to Wildflower Estetica, I invite you to make sun safety part of your daily wellness ritual. If you have questions about SPF, want to try Colorescience products, or need help building your summer skincare routine, I’m here to help!

At Wildflower Estetica, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s woven into every part of your experience. From our Eco-Advocate points program to our recycling and carbon offset efforts, we’re always looking for ways to reduce waste and make a positive impact. Here’s how your visits help us create a greener, more mindful spa community! Earn Points, Get Perks For every $1 you spend, you earn 1 Eco-Advocate point. Every 10 points = $1 off any service or product! Curious about your current points balance? Just ask at your next appointment or reach out anytime—watching those points stack up is especially fun with the holidays around the corner! Recycling & Carbon Offsetting We’re making fantastic strides in reducing waste with every appointment, and your help matters. Recycling isn’t always easy to remember, so here’s a tip I use myself: keep a basket in your bathroom for old makeup, shampoo bottles, and other beauty empties. No need to stress about cleaning them out perfectly—bring them in and I’ll handle the sorting. Anything that can’t be recycled is safely incinerated and converted into clean energy for the grid! Curated, Low-Waste Appointments Every appointment is thoughtfully designed to use only what’s necessary. A few ways we reduce waste: Waxing mats instead of towels: Cuts down on laundry, saving water, electricity, and time. The Hydradiamond machine: Chosen for its low carbon footprint and customizable serums. Unlike traditional “HydraFacial” treatments—which create lots of single-use waste—our system uses reusable diamond and acrylic tips (not just one-time disposables!). Traditional facials can be surprisingly wasteful, with endless bottles, disposable tips, and packaging that’s tough to recycle. I knew there had to be a better way—so I chose equipment and products that deliver amazing results with far less waste. Our Mission Every little step makes a difference. By supporting Wildflower Estetica, you’re helping us make Olympia a little greener—one appointment at a time. 🌱 Have questions about your points, want tips for recycling at home, or curious about our next sustainability spotlight? Reach out anytime or ask at your next visit! Con cariño, Bridget
