When it comes to preserving youthful, healthy skin, one thing makes the biggest difference: sun protection.
At Behold Aesthetics and Wellness Center, we want you to enjoy every bit of sunshine this summer—but do it smartly. Sun exposure is the #1 cause of collagen breakdown in the skin, which leads to premature aging, wrinkles, dark spots, and uneven texture. Protecting your skin now not only prevents future damage but helps maintain that smooth, glowing complexion we all want.
Why SPF Is Essential—Every Day
Whether it’s a pool day or a quick trip to the store, your skin is exposed to UV rays that age and damage it over time. The good news? You can fight back—with daily, medical-grade SPF.
We offer over 12 top-performing sunscreens at Behold, including tinted SPF formulas that give you coverage, radiance, and protection all in one. Most of our team wears tinted SPF instead of foundation—it lets your skin breathe while enhancing your natural glow.
SPF 30 or higher is ideal, and it should be reapplied every 2 hours, especially if you’re outdoors, sweating, or swimming. Don’t forget easy-to-miss spots like ears, lips, and the tops of your feet!
Sunless Glow, Safer Skin
We get it—everyone loves a bronzed look in the summer. But tanning beds and direct sun exposure can cause permanent skin damage, increase cancer risk, and speed up aging.
Skip the rays and get the same glow with our sunless tanning products, specially curated to give you a gorgeous golden tone—no UV exposure needed.

If you’re noticing signs of sun damage—fine lines, age spots, rough texture—we can help. Our expert team offers advanced skin rejuvenation services including:

Empowering You to Glow Safely
Sun protection isn’t just a skincare step—it’s a long-term investment in your health and confidence. Teaching your kids to apply SPF, wearing hats and sunglasses, and avoiding peak sun hours (10 a.m. – 4 p.m.) are all simple habits that make a big impact.
Let’s make this the summer you glow safely, confidently, and beautifully.
