Benefits Of Sunscreen

Early signs of aging and dryness are a result of unprotected sun exposure. The youthful appearance of the skin is forfeited when the skin has excessive exposure to the sun, causing fine lines, deep wrinkles and loss of collagen. Sun Protection factor can help retain the moisture and create a shield on the skin when exposed to harmful UV rays. An SPF can maintain the skin’s ability to produce collagen. SPF can reduce the risk of developing sun induced skin cancers such as Carcinoma.

A high level SPF can help you avoid the expense of future laser treatments that could be needed for the skin to correct damage to the skin caused by the sun. Discoloration and age spots may start to appear on certain areas due to aging and applying an SPF can reduce the chances of these areas being exposed to harmful UVA and UVB rays. There is no question that to maintain the best appearance of the supple, youthful, and healthy skin that an SPF is a must-do in your daily skincare regime.

The truth about what really causes your wrinkles!

Exposure to UV (ultraviolet light) - people who spend considerable time out in the sun during their leisure hours or for work tend to age more quickly, especially if proper sun protection is not used

Smoking - smoking depletes estrogen levels in your body and estrogen is what keeps skin plump, youthful and radiant. Smoking also reduces blood supply to the skin, which experts say provides a direct link to accelerated aging of skin

Light skin - people with lighter skin types tend to experience a higher level of sun damage, leading to an earlier visible signs of aging.

Genetic factors - if your parents maintained a youthful appearance longer than the average, you can expect to follow suit as long as you live a similar life style.

Clothes - people who tend to wear hats and long sleeves usually develop wrinkles later in life compared to people of the same skin type who do not.

Lack of Sleep - Researches have detected that when you don't get enough sleep, the body produces excess cortisol, a hormone that breaks down skin cells. Those who get plenty of rest produce more HGH (human growth hormone), which helps skin remain resilient or more "elastic," and is less likely to prematurely wrinkle.



Now that you are aware of the causes of accelerated aging, you can work to control and prolong your youthfulness. All of the above points are all very important factors, but nothing beats good skin care routine. Chemical peels, daily exfoliators along with religious application of SPF 30+ (Sun Shield Moisturizer SPF 30+ Anti Aging Peptide) will give you the foundation for beautiful, healthy skin.

Skin care: 5 tips for healthy skin

1. Protect yourself from the sun

One of the most important ways to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, age spots and other skin problems — as well as increase the risk of skin cancer.

For the most complete sun protection:

• Use sunscreen. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. When you're outdoors, reapply sunscreen every two hours — or more often if you're swimming or perspiring.
• Seek shade. Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun's rays are strongest.
• Wear protective clothing. Cover your skin with tightly woven long-sleeved shirts, long pants and wide-brimmed hats. Also consider laundry additives, which give clothing an additional layer of ultraviolet protection for a certain number of washings, or special sun-protective clothing — which is specifically designed to block ultraviolet rays.

2. Don't smoke

Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles. Smoking narrows the tiny blood vessels in the outermost layers of skin, which decreases blood flow. This depletes the skin of oxygen and nutrients that are important to skin health. Smoking also damages collagen and elastin — the fibers that give your skin its strength and elasticity. In addition, the repetitive facial expressions you make when smoking — such as pursing your lips when inhaling and squinting your eyes to keep out smoke — can contribute to wrinkles.

If you smoke, the best way to protect your skin is to quit. Ask your doctor for tips or treatments to help you stop smoking.

3. Treat your skin gently

Daily cleansing and shaving can take a toll on your skin. To keep it gentle:

• Limit bath time. Hot water and long showers or baths remove oils from your skin. Limit your bath or shower time, and use warm — rather than hot — water.
• Avoid strong soaps. Strong soaps and detergents can strip oil from your skin. Instead, choose mild cleansers.
• Shave carefully. To protect and lubricate your skin, apply shaving cream, lotion or gel before shaving. For the closest shave, use a clean, sharp razor. Shave in the direction the hair grows, not against it.
• Pat dry. After washing or bathing, gently pat or blot your skin dry with a towel so that some moisture remains on your skin.
• Moisturize dry skin. If your skin is dry, use a moisturizer that fits your skin type. For daily use, consider a moisturizer that contains SPF.

4. Eat a healthy diet

A healthy diet can help you look and feel your best. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. The association between diet and acne isn't clear — but some research suggests that a diet rich in vitamin C and low in unhealthy fats and processed or refined carbohydrates might promote younger looking skin.

5. Manage stress

Uncontrolled stress can make your skin more sensitive and trigger acne breakouts and other skin problems. To encourage healthy skin — and a healthy state of mind — take steps to manage your stress. Set reasonable limits, scale back your to-do list and make time to do the things you enjoy. The results might be more dramatic than you expect.
