Bye Bye Sun π Hello Radiant Youthful And Younger Looking Skin.
Sunlight is a significant cause of wrinkles, dryness, and spots of age. With age, the skin does alter. You sweat, for example, You sweat less, leading to increased dryness. Aging skin gets thinner and loses weight, so it looks less plump and smooth. The underlying structures, particularly veins and bones, are becoming more prominent. When injured, the skin will also take longer to heal.
By remaining out of the light, these alterations can be significantly postponed. Although nothing can completely reverse sun damage, the skin can repair itself occasionally. So, it's never too late to shield yourself from the sun's negative effects.
5 Ways You Can Delay the Process of Aging:
- Wear protective gear - Your collar, ears, eyes, and head are shaded by a hat with a wide brim. Look for sunglasses with a label saying 99 to 100 percent of the sun's rays are filtered by the lenses. When in the sun, wear loose, thin, long-sleeved shirts and long pants or long skirts.
- Daily, check your skin- Look for changes in birthmarks, moles, and spots in size, shape, color, or feel. See a doctor if you discover any changes that bother you. As part of a routine physical test, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends that older, fair-skinned individuals have an annual skin check by a doctor.
- Stop
tanning by chemical means - Do not use tanning beds and sunlamps, as well as
tanning pills and tanning make-up. Tanning pills have a color additive which,
after you take them, makes your skin orange. This color additive has been
approved by the FDA for coloring foods, but not for skin tanning. In tanning tablets, the large
amount of color additives may be harmful. Make-up items for tanning are not
suntan lotions and will not shield the skin from the sun.
- Apply
sunscreen - Sunscreens are graded for intensity on the basis of a sun protection
factor (SPF) ranging from 10 to 70 or greater. A greater number implies longer defense. Purchase product with an SPF number of 15 to 25 for face and 30 or
above for body. Look
also for products whose label says: broad spectrum (meaning that they protect
against all forms of harmful sun rays (UVA and UVB) and water resistant
(meaning they stay on your skin longer, even if you get wet or sweat a lot).
Remember to apply the lotion again as needed.
- Stay out of the sun - Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. This is when the sun’s UV rays are strongest. Don't be fooled by cloudy skies. Harmful rays pass through clouds. UV radiation also can pass through water, so don’t assume you are safe if you are in the water and feeling cool.
- Wear SPF on cloudy days.
- Find shade when the sun is at its strongest between 10am to 4pm
- Apply sunscreen 15 minutes before stepping out in the sun.
- Reapply after every 3hrs.
- Apply waterproof sunscreen during swimming.
- Avoid buying sunscreen with ingredients (oxybenzone, octinoxate, retinal palmitate, homosalate, octocrylene)
- Zinc oxide is the best favorite active sunscreen ingredient.
- Wear broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF15 TO SFP30 for face to protect against UVA and UVB rays.
