Beauty Must Have!!

Author: Silvia Pencak

So, with the spring and summer rapidly approaching, do you know what the number one “must have” of the season is? The answer may surprise you. It is sunscreen. That’s right, sunscreen is one of the most important items that you can add into your daily beauty routine. Why, you may ask?

Aside from the obvious, it helps to prevent skin cancer, it also helps to reduce the signs of aging caused by the suns rays. You may not think that the sun can really age your skin that much, but it can. Have you ever known someone who tanned religiously without protection? Notice how their skin starts to look over an extended period of time. Probably old and weathered. Now, there is nothing wrong with enjoying a sunny day or even working on your tan a little, but you have to do it with the proper protection. Wearing sunscreen still allows you to get sun, but blocks the harmful rays.

The best type of sunscreen to buy is one that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. When looking for your sunscreen try to find one that is broad spectrum, water resistant, and SPF. These will offer you the most protection. You should also be aware that although some products may say they last for several hours, a good rule of thumb is to reapply every two hours.

So, if you want to avoid sagging, wrinkled, and aged skin, stock up on the sunscreen and use it everyday. Although it can not protect you 100% of the time, if it is used properly it provides great results.
