SPF has quietly become one of the most important beauty products in modern skincare, and fortunately, it no longer feels like the thick, greasy sunscreen many people still remember from years ago.
To celebrate some of our favorite professional SPF formulas, Kenneth’s Salons and Spas is currently offering 20% off select SPF products for a limited time, featuring elevated skincare favorites from DERMA MD, HydroPeptide, Circadia, and Jane Iredale.
And honestly, there has never been a better time to rethink what sunscreen can feel like.
The New Era of SPF
One of the biggest misconceptions about SPF is that it has to feel heavy, smell like a beach vacation, or leave behind a sticky finish. Years ago, that may have been true. Today’s luxury SPF formulas are designed to feel more like high-end skincare than traditional sunscreen.
Many modern professional SPFs now include:
- Hydrating ingredients
- Antioxidant protection
- Weightless finishes
- Makeup-friendly textures
- Skin-brightening support
- Tints that softly blur and even the complexion
In other words, SPF has evolved from “something you tolerate” into something clients genuinely enjoy wearing.
That matters because consistency is everything.
Why Estheticians Emphasize Daily SPF
Professional skincare treatments like Facials and Peels and Treatments can absolutely improve the appearance of skin, but daily SPF is still one of the most effective ways to help preserve those results over time.
According to The Skin Cancer Foundation, consistent sunscreen use can help reduce the risk of melanoma by up to 50%, while also helping minimize premature aging caused by UV exposure.
And while the health conversation matters, estheticians also see the beauty side of the equation every day:
- Fine lines
- Uneven pigmentation
- Loss of firmness
- Sun spots
- Redness and sensitivity
- Dullness and texture changes
Many of these concerns are tied to cumulative UV exposure over time, often from everyday activities like driving, running errands, dining outdoors, or even sitting near windows.
SPF is not just a vacation product anymore. It is one of the foundations of modern skin preservation.
Standout SPF Favorites in the Promotion
HydroPeptide Solar Dew SPF
Think luminous, dewy, healthy-looking skin. Solar Dew delivers a radiant glow without crossing into greasy territory, making it a favorite for hydration and luminosity in one step.
HydroPeptide Tinted + Non-Tinted SPF
These formulas are incredibly wearable for everyday use and layer beautifully under makeup. The tinted version helps softly even the complexion while remaining lightweight and breathable.
HydroPeptide Sun Slick SPF 50
One of the smartest innovations in SPF is portability. Sun slick makes reapplication easy throughout the day without disrupting makeup or creating buildup.
HydroPeptide SPF Body Spray
Lightweight body SPF is increasingly important, especially for those who avoid traditional sunscreens due to texture. A refined spray makes daily use far more realistic.
DERMA MD Chebula SPF
Chebula has become a buzz ingredient in advanced skincare because of its antioxidant-rich support and ability to help defend against environmental stressors. This formula feels more skincare-forward than sunscreen-forward, making it ideal for clients who dislike traditional SPF textures.
Circadia Light Day SPF
A favorite for clients who appreciate simplicity. This formula feels airy and refined while still offering essential protection, especially following professional exfoliation or Facials.
Jane Iredale Powder-Me SPF
One of the biggest game changers in wearable SPF. Powder SPF allows for effortless touch-ups while helping control shine without disturbing makeup.
Available in:
- Tan
- Translucent
- Nude
- Golden
This category has grown in popularity because dermatologists recommend reapplying SPF during prolonged exposure, and powder formulas make that much easier in real life.
SPF and Modern Beauty Go Hand in Hand
The conversation around sunscreen has changed. It is no longer just about avoiding sunburn on vacation. It is about supporting healthy-looking skin long term while protecting the investment clients make in Facials, Peels and Treatments, professional skincare, Hair Coloring, and other beauty services.
The best SPF today should feel elegant, wearable, and realistic for everyday life.
If you have avoided sunscreen in the past because it felt thick, greasy, chalky, or uncomfortable, there is a very good chance you simply have not experienced how advanced modern SPF formulas have become.
Our esthetics team would love to help match you with an SPF that fits your skin type, finish preference, lifestyle, and beauty routine.
For a limited time, featured SPF products are available at 20% off at Kenneth’s Salons and Spas.
