Sunscreen
I cannot emphasize enough or too many times, the importance of applying sunscreen 365 days/year. I all to often, talk with someone who is quick to tell me, “I don’t go out in the sun. I just go to work and home again”. And my response to them is, “if you go out the front or back door, for any reason, you need to wear sunscreen.”
Yes, this is my soapbox. But since the weather seems to be getting warmer and we’re having more sunny days, I thought this would be a good time to give you a few facts, of which you may not be aware.
First, you need at least a SPF 15, but anything over a SPF 20 is usually added chemicals you may not need. That SPF number only relates to the UVB rays (burn rays). That number has absolutely nothing to do with the UVA rays(aging rays).
The UVA rays are the ones that are there the 365 days/year regardless of the weather. They penetrate not only windows, but tinted windows, penetrate deeper into the layers of the skin, cause the wrinkles, and most skin cansers.
Even though I wear a mineral makeup with a SPF of 20, I still apply my sunscreen under the minerals. I want all the protection I can possibly obtain. And that goes for all exposed areas of the body.
So please, be sure to apply your sunscreen each and every day. You’ll be glad you did!
