 Preventing
wrinkles with sunscreen
Sunshine is so good for us, it
makes us feel wonderfully happy,
energised and motivated.
And what about all that wonderful Vitamin D helping
us to have healthy bones? All of this is true, but we
must have respect for the sun's intensity.
Good protection for our bodies from its harsh rays,
not only in the summer but all year round, is a wise
choice. Also a healthy choice for the prevention of
skin cancer.
Exposure to ultraviolet light (UVA or UVB), from sunlight
accounts for 90% of the symptoms of premature skin aging
including wrinkles. The most important care product
available to prevent wrinkles is sunscreen and most
people do not use it correctly.
Applying
sunscreen properly
Most people apply only 25%-50%
of the recommended amount. Not enough! Initially, sunscreen
should be applied liberally enough to all sun exposed
areas so that it forms a film. It takes 20-30 minutes
for sunscreen to be absorbed by the skin, so apply at
least half an hour before going out into the sunshine.
When applying sunscreen to the face
make sure that the face is clean of makeup and that
the sunscreen is specifically made for the protection
of the face with SPF (sun protection factor) no less
than 30.
Here are some
Important facts to consider with sunscreen use
There are three types of UV rays. UVA,
UVB, UVC. These are divided into categories based on
the wavelength.
UVC radiation is absorbed by the atmosphere
and does not cause skin damage. UVB radiation affects
the outer layer of the skin (the epidermis) and is the
primary cause of sunburn. UVA radiation penetrates deeper
into the skin and works on the damage more efficiently.
It is more constant then UVB. It also is not filtered
by glass.
Both UVB & UVA radiation cause
wrinkles by breaking down collagen, creating free radicals,
and inhibiting the skin's natural repair mechanism.
