1. Why pay with an FSA or HSA card?
   Using your FSA or HSA card allows you to use pre-tax dollars to purchase eligible items. You still pay sales tax on purchases, but FSA and HSA cards enable you to pay directly using funds from your tax-advantaged account.
   
   
2. What is an FSA?
   A Flexible Spending Account (FSA) is an account you contribute to on a pre-tax basis to pay for certain out-of-pocket health care costs. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) sets guidelines for individual benefit plans to determine eligible health care costs. As such, some items may or may not be eligible for FSA, depending on your specific benefit plan. 
   
   
3. Do my FSA funds expire?
   Yes. All remaining funds at the end of the benefit period are forfeited. 
   
   
4. What is an HSA?
   A Health Savings Account (HSA) is a medical savings account associated with your health plan and used to pay for certain out-of-pocket health care costs. Funds can be contributed to this account on a pre-tax basis. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) sets guidelines for individual benefit plans to determine eligible health care costs. As such, some items may or may not be eligible for HSA, depending on your specific benefit plan.
   
   
5. Do my HSA funds expire?
   No, Funds in your HSA will roll over at the end of the year and continue accumulating. 
   
   
6. Are the same items eligible for an FSA account as an HSA account?
   Yes. FSA and HSA product eligibility are determined by the same IRS and benefit plan guidelines. Your benefit plan administrator determined which items are qualified for reimbursement. 
   
   
7. How do I use Lumière de Vie® Daily Brightening Broad Spectrum SPF 50?
   Apply liberally 15 minutes before sun exposure. Use a water-resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating. Reapply at least every 2 hours. Children under 6 months: Ask a doctor.
   
   
8. What are UVA & UVB rays?
   UVA and UVB rays are a form of ultraviolet (UV) light that can be damaging to our skin and health. UVB are the rays that cause sunburn. UVA rays penetrate even more deeply into the skin causing early skin aging and increasing the risk of skin cancer.
   
   
9. Why should I use a broad-spectrum sunscreen?
   While almost all sunscreens protect against UVB rays, not all protect against UVA. UVA rays make up 90% of all UV radiation and cause more damage to the skin, so it is extremely important to protect against both types. Broad-spectrum sunscreens, like Lumière de Vie® Daily Brightening Broad Spectrum SPF 50, protect your skin from two types of harmful rays; UVA & UVB, so you are fully covered.
   
   
10. Should I apply sunscreen before I apply makeup?
    Yes! For maximum protection sunscreen should be applied directly to skin, before moisturizer and makeup. Another option is to double dip by first applying a layer of sunscreen, then moisturizer and finally another layer of sunscreen. No matter how you apply it is important that you allow any treatments/moisturizers to dry fully before SPF application, so that the sunscreen can be absorbed fully into the skin.
    
    
11. Is Lumière de Vie Daily Brightening Broad Spectrum SPF 50 tested on animals?
    Lumière de Vie does not conduct or commission animal testing of any finished product.
