Sunscreens and Exfoliates…with the Wonderbar?

QUESTION: Can you use sunscreen with the Wonderbar? I normally use a light moisturizer with sunscreen, is that ok? Also, I normally exfoliate a few times a week, should I stop?

ANSWER: Yes, you absolutely can and SHOULD use a good sunblock.  Just make sure you aren’t using any products that contain chemical sunscreen.  Chemical sunscreen penetrates your pores and physical sun block sits on top of your skin and protects you from the sun.  Go for the physical for more effective coverage and for better results with the Wonderbar.

As far as using an exfoliate goes, the WONDERBAR already exfoliates your skin, so you don’t need one in the beginnning.  Let the bar do its job and do not be concerned about the dryness, it is happening for a reason and it will pass.  However, once you have adjusted to the Wonderbar and your skin is no longer in a dry phase. using a baby washcloth or a clarisonic once a week is fine and enhances the benefits of the bar. We do not recommend a ”scrub” of any type…these oftentimes have ingredients that are not compatible with the bar.  There are even clients who actually take the bar with them for use during microdermabrasion.  Remember, overdoing it is never a good thing, so just use your best judgement when adding an exfoliate to your WONDERBAR routine.  Everyone’s skin is different.
