It is starting to heat up outside and its a good time to remember to protect your skin from the sun.
Sunscreen
does double duty - The regular use of sunscreen helps protect your
skin from cancer-causing sun exposure, and can help your skin look
younger. Protecting your health AND your looks? Sounds great to me!
Your
face, neck and chest need the most protection. The skin on these areas
are the most delicate and are most likely to show signs of aging (due
to the fact that these 3 areas typically get the most sun exposure).
DON'T FORGET YOUR SCALP! Ditch those visors and wear a hat - many
cases of melanoma occur first on the scalp (where you are unlikely to
notice it).
Buy a sunscreen with at least SPF 15. You
do NOT need to buy anything greater than SPF 45! Look for Broad
Spectrum sunscreens as they provide maximum protection against UVA and
UVB rays. Look for Zinc Oxide, it absorbs light, therefore reflecting
UV rays. Also look for Titanium Dioxide, it provides a physical
protection while preventing skin damage and excessive melanin
synthesis.
Remember... you might not have early signs
of aging now, (i.e. Fine lines, sun spots, wrinkles), but that doesn't
mean it won't catch up with you later. If you tan easily you still need
protection! One hour in direct sunlight can cause permanent damage. So
keep your skin looking healthy and beautiful!!!
Mamas protect your kids too! Most sun damage is done by the time you are 18 years of age.
Your challenge: USE YOUR SUNSCREEN. Use it every single day. Your skin (and your doctor!) will love you for it.
