5 Tips To Repair and Reverse Sun Damage

Everybody knows that the sun causes damage to the skin.  Being that I was born and raised in Nevada, and now l live in Arizona, I have definitely been exposed to intense sun my entire life.  I wasn't a sunbather growing up, although I did spend a lot of time in and out of a swimming pool in the summer, however we did a lot a camping, hiking, biking, and boating, and sunscreen wasn't a household product like it is today.  

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.  For more information on this incredible line of products that all work synergistically together to repair and reverse sun damage to your skin, and set the foundation for beautiful, hydrated, healthy skin, CLICK here.
