Did you know that that sun is the number one enemy of skin health? I know it sucks, and those tans are so lucrative and give the opposite impression, but for younger and healthier skin, it is important that you understand the effects that the sun has on your anti-aging regime.
Ultra-Violent exposure from the sun is actually accountable for nearly 90% of the symptoms of premature skin aging! Scary isn’t it? I know this fact sucks for most people whom like to tan, and I hope it doesn’t turning you off your golden brown toning, but also I hope you are ready to understand and protect yourself in the future from sun damage.
Common theories on why the sun is such a detriment to our skin care are; the formation of free radicals (the bad guys antioxidants fight), collagen breakdown and immune system inhibiting.
While it isn’t necessary to avoid the sun completely and become white ghosts or chameleons in the prison of our sun free home and white walls, it is important that we practice proper UV sun protection to prolong our skin health and keep us on an upper hand with our personal wars of anti aging.
Proper and effective sun block and sunscreen solutions for your entire skin surface during long days in the sun are a must, and being conscience about picking lip balm (our lips, especially the lower lip, are incredibly sensitive and damage by sun exposure) with UV protection are the foundation of good protection from this antiaging enemy and should be more then enough for the average persons lifestyle.
Proper moisturization after a long day in the sun, as well as picking Anti-aging products that also include or are specific to sun related health should cover the small percentage of us that are in high risk factors due to lifestyles that allow or require to be under the big glowing ball for extensive hours routinely.
