Be Smart Under The Sun!

Here are some helpful tips to be smart under the sun.  Summer time again and keeping your skin protected from the sun should be part of your beauty regimen.

UVA and UVB.  These stands for ultra-violet A and ultra-violet B rays.  These rays can cause harm to your skin and can bring sun allergies, sun burn, skin pigmentation and even skin cancer.  The more intense the sun’s rays are, the greater the damage can cause.  Mid day sun rays are more intense than morning or evening especially during summer.  Sunscreen with higher SPF should be used.

Sun Protection Factor.  SPF or Sun Protection Factor is the amount of time it takes for the sun to burn your skin.  A higher SPF will give you longer sun protection.  If you have fair skin it is ideal to use sunscreen with higher SPF.

When to apply your sunblock.  Most sunblocks need to be applied at least 15 minutes before sun exposure.  Re application is needed after swimming or toweling as sun protection maybe removed.

Look for the best sunscreen that will fit your skin type.



Cleanser- There are different cleanser products available in the market, choose the one that will cater for your skin type and skin need.  This product cleans the skin of grime and make-up.  It comes in the form of a lotion, cream or a bar.  Whichever form you use, remember that you should not cleanse your face more than twice a day.

Cleansing cream is made from pure oil and water that dissolves dirt and make-up without over drying the skin.

Cleansing Milk is an oil in water mixture that functions similarly to a cleansing cream.

Special Cleansers are a pH balanced cleanser specially formulated to be as close as possible to the skin’s acidic balance.  A medicated cleanser contains antibacterial or anti-fungal agents.

Skin Tonic is a mild lotion that is applied after cleansing and before moisturizing.  It refreshes and stimulates the skin by removing residue left by the cleanser and temporarily plumps up the skin.

Astringent Lotion is a skin tonic suited to oily skin and helps remove excess grease.

Freshener is the mildest tonic suitable for dry skin.
