Dr. Michael Spicer is revolutionizing the Feel of Sunscreen

It’s summer and that means enjoying outdoor activities like golf, tennis and fishing. An important part of any day in the sun is protecting yourself from its damaging rays. But many people skip this, refusing to wear sun protection because they hate the sticky, greasy feel of most sunscreen products.  Dr. Michael Spicer found himself in a similar situation, he knew he should wear sunscreen but he couldn’t stand the stickiness, greasiness or the smell of most sunscreen brands. As a local dermatologist, Dr. Spicer encouraged his patients to wear sunscreen, but they expressed the same complaints. So he decided to develop something better, a high-end sunscreen he calls Épicé.

The Épicé sunscreens go on like a lotion and dry like a powder, don’t burn the eyes and, of course protect from the sun’s harmful rays. They are perfect for serious athletes and others who enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle. Épicé does not contain the oils that cause damage to boats, harm bait or yellow clothing like other products.

Épicé Sunscreen is an SPF 30 broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects the skin from UVA I, UVA II and UVB rays. What really sets it apart is the unique clear zinc formula and quality ingredients.

Dr. Spicer has also created a line of skincare products including a therapeutic moisturizer and a moisturizer for men. The moisturizing lotion offers long-lasting protection that is important for people with sensitive skin and other chronic skin conditions because it creates a barrier against allergens and irritants in the environment. Shea and cocoa butters also help hydrate the skin.

  • Seek the shade, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
  • Do not burn
  • Avoid tanning and UV tanning booths
  • Use a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher every day
  • Apply 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of sunscreen to your entire body 30 minutes before going outside. Reapply every two hours.
  • Cover up with clothing, including a broad-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses
  • Keep newborns out of the sun. Sunscreens should be used on babies over the age of six months
  • Examine your skin head-to-toe every month
  • See your physician every year for a professional skin exam
