I am a fan of exposure to the sun for health reasons. Everyone should get a bit of unprotected sun exposure everyday, as that is how your body replenishes it's Vitamin D reserves. My kids, who are both swimmers never wore sunscreen if their swim practice was an hour or less. However if we were planning on being out longer, on went the sunscreen.
According to Deborah S Sarnoff, MD, a NYC dermatologist and educational spokesperson for The Skin Cancer Foundation, "protecting your skin from the sun does not end with the summer months". So you have to find a great sunscreen for protection all year round, not just those hot summer months.
If you have exposed your skin to unprotected sun exposure, here are some helpful hints to help repair and reverse sun damage.
1. Use a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher - sunscreens are vital for healthy, young
looking skin. Using sunscreen over an extended period of time, your skin is allowed to
repair itself from previous sun damage.
2. Exfoliate to remove dead cells, and help skin look smoother. A buildup of the outer layer
of skin, called the stratum corneum begins to look uneven, and blotchy. Exfoliating
removes that dead layer of cells, and allows newer skin to be revealed.
3. Hydrate - exposure during to summer to sun, chlorine, and salt water can dehydrate the
skin. Moisturizers, and water will help replenish those lost fluids.
4. Visit a dermatologist - everyone should have regular checkups to make sure there are
no skin cancer issues. Dermatologists can also provide laser treatments to help improve
issues like blotchiness, discoloration, and wrinkles.
5. Anti-aging skincare systems - select a skincare line that targets anti-aging issues. I
recommend looking for a system that incorporates botanical natural ingredients, that are free of preservatives, artificial colors and artificial fragrances.
Well you know...there are a lot of systems available in the market that are loaded with parabens, and toxic ingredients. Please do your homework before you invest in a skincare system.
However if you are saying to yourself...Research? Where do i begin? I can, without any hesitation, recommend the Rejuvity Skincare Program.
