Spa Index Summer Sun Contest

It's called the "No Excuses Hat" --
a must have this Summer!

The EPA states that wearing a hat and sunscreen is an inexpensive and effective way to prevent damage from the sun. With its latest collection of resort wear, sun protective hats and accessories, Physician Endorsed offers exotic designs, colors and styles that truly do protect wearers from harmful UVA and UVB rays.   Best of all, they are simply gorgeous!

Designer Elissa Margulies knows hats – in fact, she's famous for them. In the early 1980's, she and husband Michael Ross founded Forget Me Not, a hat manufacturing company that tapped into the Junior's market with a force. Picked up by major retailers like Contempo Casuals, Margulies' creations were discovered up by stylists, and before she knew it, Forget Me Not hats became the trademark of the hit television show Blossom.

After researching the sun protection industry and learning about what fabrics and colors function best, Margulies co-founded Physician Endorsed in 2002. Today, she's the creative force behind a dynamic line of hats, sunglasses and accessories designed for both style and skin care. Her hats are tested and endorsed by an independent medical advisory board, rated UPF 50+ (equivalent to SPF 30), and offer consumers a fashionable and safe way to spend time in the sun. Named after places she has traveled, Margulies' designs look and feel as exotic as they sound: St. Tropez, Bimini, Martinique, Capri, Hamptons, and more. And she hasn't forgotten the Diva, Starlet, and Sunchaser in all of us.

One of Spa Index Media's favorite estheticians (Colleen Blevins Lunsford of Wolf Mountain Day Spa, Grass Valley, California) told us in the most simple terms "If you can see your shadow, you need sunscreen."   With that in mind, the Spa Index team tried on the Physician Endorsed hats at the International Spa Association trade show in Las Vegas and fell in love. "Stylish, functional, flirty, and a complimentary tube of sunscreen on every hang-tag.  The representative told us 'That's why we call it the No Excuses Hat.' "

Your esthetician will love these hats, we love these hats, and so will you.
