March 12, 2009




sunscreen-main_fullAs individuals, we have to protect our skin from the sun, regardless of the kind of weather it is outside. Every forty minutes the human skin produces millions of new cells. The clogging of pores can make the skin look dry and dull.

Definition of Sunscreen:

Sunscreen is a cream or lotion to protect the skin from the sun’s light, (ultraviolet) rays.  SPF-15 is highly recommended to protect your skin from sun damage.  It is important to apply sunscreen on your skin through out the year.  Sunscreens should be applied 2-3 hours before swimming.

There are many different varieties of sun care products to choose from, as long as they are non-greasy; and they can protect from the UVA and UVB sun rays. The UV protection found in sun care products can eliminate wrinkles and sagginess of the skin, increasing the chances of being exposed to pre mature aging.

Tips for Skin Care:

When shopping for the right type of protection for your skin from the harmful UV rays, you should research for the best sun care product for you.  You can shop online or in stores for the safest sun care products and treatments from top manufacturers and top name brands.

Tips for Preventing Sun Damage:

The ultraviolet light from the sun causes over ninety percent of wrinkles in humans.  Staying out of the sun between mid mornings, (11am) to mid afternoon, (3pm), when the sun is at its hottest must be avoided.  Stay in shaded areas such as under an umbrella or a tree.  Wearing long sleeve clothing, and pants, instead of shorts is a good way to protect you from the sun.  Also, wear a wide brimmed hat, and sunglasses with 100% UV protection.  These steps can help protect your face and eyes from the sun.

The Usage of Sun or Tanning Beds:

Sun beds or Tanning beds should never be used, because it exposes the skin to artificial UV radiation, and can be very damaging to the skin. The usage of sun beds can increase the chances of getting skin cancer in the near future.
