Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Sol Oil SPF 30-Ultimate Sun Protection
You may have noticed us featuring more and more SPF products here on 1966. Some of you may think, hey I’ve got plenty of melanin to go round; I don’t need that! Yes, melanin does provide a limited amount of protection against some rays; however, it will not defend your skin completely from the damaging effects of UV rays or skin cancer. This is especially true since the environment has been damaged; thus making skin protection a more vital issue for any skin tone. Therefore, enter Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Sol Oil SPF 30; an oil that provides sun protection AND moisture.
Sol de Janeiro Bum Bum Sol Oil SPF 30-Ultimate Sun Protection
In the words of MJ, “It doesn’t matter if you are black or white.” We all need to protect our skin properly, especially if we wish to keep our “youthful” appearance. So then, invest in a good sun protection product and you will be good to go.
Consequently, Sol de Janeiro’s skin oil is the perfect addition to any skincare routine. In describing their sunscreen conditioning product, Sol de Janeiro states,
“An illuminating, non-greasy dry oil worships the body with SPF 30 sun protection, nourishing moisture, and a luxurious touch of Rio radiance! Full of fatty acids; phytosterols and polyphenols lock in moisture to help restore skin’s elasticity.
Acai Oil, an antioxidant powerhouse helps skin look and feel young. Coconut Oil melts easily into skin to soften, condition, and moisturize. This product is also vegan, cruelty-free, gluten-free, and reef-safe.
This luxurious take on sun protection feels and looks amazing. It’s also infused with illuminating skin-smoothers and scented with the cult favorite fragrance, Cheirosa ’62 making it the SPF of your dreams.”

Thanks Girl! Kelly Rowland Shares Her Daily Skincare Routine
Kelly Rowland has always had a skin tone to die for! From her DC (Destiny’s Child) days to the present she is still killing it. Not a single wrinkle or blemish as far as the eye can see. Black may not crack, but the fact remains that a great skincare routine helps too. Recently, the fab singer and fashionista shared her daily beauty regimen.
Kelly Rowland Shares Her Daily Skincare Routine
Four products make up Kelly Rowland’s daily morning ritual. They are Clarisonic, Control Corrective Oil Free Sunscreen, Is Clinical Cleansing Complex and Katalaya Skin Care Gentle Cleanser. This just goes to show that a few products as well as minutes can give you the skin you really crave.
Upon this big beauty reveal a few celebrity dolls weighed in on Kelly’s skincare routine. Tennis player, Serena Williams, mentioned, “Mine consists of hot water and a towel.” A little humor that definitely a lot of us can relate to!
Nevertheless, Rowland’s products are at the top of our skincare routine list. Clarisonic is great for deeper cleansing and we also love the fact that they have developed brush heads that serve various purposes. You can tell the difference by looking at the brush heads hues. For instance, blue is for deep pore, green works for acne cleanse and pink is specifically for radiance.
However, if you are in the market for an awesome cleanser consider Is Clinical Cleansing Complex. This is product that is formulated with a powerful antioxidant blend that includes Vitamins A, C and E. Also, is great for congested or acne prone skin as well as those who require a more “gentle” formula. Furthermore, because it is so gentle it can be used daily. Score!
Lastly, dolls do not sleep on wearing sunscreen. Melanin is not a superhero barrier against sun damage. You may not burn as easy as lighter skin tones but you still need to protect your body’s largest organ, the skin. Do this by using Kelly’s pick, Control Corrective Oil Free Sunscreen. It’s perfect rain or shine and since it is oil free it will protect you with a SPF of 30 without clogging pores.

Expired Beauty Products- Sunscreen
Beauty Quickie: Can we please put the myth to rest that black women do not need to wear sunscreen? It does not matter how dark your skin is or how much melanin you possess the sun can still cause havoc to your skin if is not protected. Black may not crack but due to environmental effects such as global warming and the disappearance of the ozone layer it is a very good idea to give your skin a little protective barrier to stay un-cracked.
Does sunscreen ever expire and if so when should it be replaced? Yes, sunscreen does indeed expire and the problem is most gals hang on to their bottle longer than they should. Most sunscreens have a shelf life of about three years then after that it should find a new home in a dumpster.
What happens when sunscreen expires? The ingredients found within the formula begin to separate thus becoming less and less effective. Therefore, if you are wearing expired beauty products such as sunscreen you are not really receiving the protection that you need.

Beauty Myth: Black Women Don’t Need Sunscreen
For many years a myth regarding sunscreen has been apart of the beauty world, simply put: black women do not need to wear sunscreen. It has been believed that if you possess or have a darker skin tone that your skin magically protects itself from the sun’s harmful rays. Is this truly the case?
This beauty myth is completely false. If you walk outside, sunlight will hit you and your skin will be affected. Now, this doesn’t mean that you need to become like a “dark seeker” from the film, I Am Legend. All you have to do to maintain your gorgeous brown skin is to protect it. Every day that you plan on being exposed to sunlight for extended periods of time, it best to apply a sunscreen product that has SPF 15 formula. Nevertheless, even if you are not in the sun constantly it is still recommended to get in the habit of applying this skin saving product.
