Sun protection is key to a healthy youthful complexion. I love the sun just as much as most of you! However, I want to protect my skin from the ever growing brown spots, skin cancer and wrinkles we get from UVA and UVB rays. A healthy skin care routine is vital year round but during the summer your face needs extra attention. Here’s a few ways how.
Wear a hat
Wearing a hat is a sure way to provide more shading to your face. A wide rimmed hat is best. We can’t forget about our neck or decollote either. The older I get the more I wish I would have protected this area as it shows ageing and sun damage later in life.
Wear Sunglasses
Did you know we could get a sunburn in our eyes? Good sunglasses protect and help prevent more squinting lines.
Essential Ingredients to have in your daily moisturizer
Your SPF will protect your skin from UVB rays that cause burns. The following ingredients will help prevent the damage of UVA rays that penetrate to the deeper dermis layer of your skin. These harmful rays cause more damage of wrinkles and oxidative stress. Include these essential ingredients in your skin care throughout the summer to protect and prevent:
– Vitamin E, protects the skin against radicals and reduces the damaging effects of ultraviolet rays, supports cell formation of the skin and increases skin hydration.
– Tranexamic Acid, this ingredient causes an even complexion by inhibiting the formation of melanin.
– Vitamin C, increases the effects of other vitamins and actives, protects against free radicals, activates collagen synthesis and DNA protections.
– Grape seed extract, rich in bio-flavonoids it is a strong antioxidant and protects the skin against oxygen radicals.
I can add these into your daily moisturizer or custom blend a serum for your morning and evening routine.
Daily SPF Protection
A quality daily moisturizer with SPF sun protection will prevent burning. Dermaviduals Day Cream absorbs a high percentage of UVB radiation, especially those full sun days when you are outside.
Extra Protection
A mineral makeup with an SPF 30 will help seal the deal to unwanted brown spots, wrinkles and burns. Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide also provide anti-inflammatory properties in the event you do get burned from the sun.
