The fashion and beauty blog, Outblush, reviewed Sundriven driving gloves. Check out their thoughts:
Deciding to not cover yourself in baby oil and lie on the beach isn't enough to prevent skin damage; every day you get unintentional sun exposure that you've got to protect against. One occasion you're probably not counting as being in the sun? Your daily commute. Sunscreen on your hands is great, but Sundriven Driving Gloves ($34) are even better! These super soft gloves block 99% of UVA/UVB rays that damage skin, are made in the USA, and come in a variety of colors. And let's not forget they're super glam - they make us want to hop in a convertible with a big pair of cat-eye sunglasses and a vintage headscarf, stat.
Blogger Sophie Uliano was kind enough to share her thoughts about Sundriven driving gloves. Check out what she had to say on her blog:
I get sent quite a lot of lovely things to review and test, but it’s rare that I pull something straight out of the box and start using it straightaway AND wish that I had started using it about 20 years ago! Sundriven SPF 50 gloves are what I’m talking about. What a frickin brilliant idea! I usually keep a bottle of sunscreen in my car in the central console, and try to remember to reapply every time I feel the sun beating down on my hands. It’s like I can literally see the age spots forming because living in Los Angeles, the UV rays beat hard and heavy through my windshield and the first thing they hit is the flesh on the tops of my hands. The issue with the sunscreen is that it’s sticky to apply, and I don’t want to then have a residue that gets all over my steering wheel – so I had to add wipes into the equation. However, now I don’t need to bother with any of this because I have my stylin' purple driving gloves!
They are dermatologist tested and Skin Cancer Foundation approved to block 99% of UVA/UVB rays, which cause mega free-radical damage. They are also Eco-friendly, and made from a sustainable fabric, which actually helps to cool down your hands. My only issue is that my daughter’s going through a phase where almost everything I do is either creepy or weird (she’s almost 13), and driving around in a pair of purple gloves in the heat of summer isn’t exactly going to help that situation. But, Lola my darling, what needs, MUST!!
I have been on a serious mission since the beginning of this year to deal with the sun damage on my hands. If I only knew 20, 30 years ago what I know now! How many of us even thought about our hands until all those lovely little brown spots started showing up? And THEY DO! I personally noticed them in my early 40’s and by the time I got around to really thinking about them, it seemed like a huge undertaking. Well Ladies . . . all is not lost! Thank goodness there are topicals and technology to deal with this issue. We recommend that you talk to a credible aesthetic nurse or doctor with regards to their professional opinion regarding your skin type. I recently had an IPL (intense pulsed light) and also started with a good vitamin C serum on my hands and the spots are 50% gone! Yes! I am seeing results. The next step is to prevent further damage that will undo all the work I just spent a lot of time and money on.
I was in Los Angeles recently and had the pleasure to meet with the beautiful and super smart Mitzi Jo of SunDriven – Age Defying UV Wear (www.sundriven.com). This line of eco-friendly clothing products are my new obsession . . . especially the gloves! We all know that you can tell a woman’s age by her hands (her face is pretty much getting all the attention) and not only is it unsightly with all those “age spots” which is really skin that is damaged from the radiation of the sun, i.e. photo aging, but it is a cause for concern as melanoma is on the rise.
SunDriven uses fabric that is naturally anti-bacterial with zero chemical additives, absorbs moisture, is lightweight and comfortable. The entire line is UPF/SPF 50+ that blocks 99% of UVA/UVB rays . . . and there is no sunscreen that can do that! This line is dermatologist tested and recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation.
