Summer Skin Essentials

Summer Skin Essentials INCLUDE THE most IMPORTANT CARE PRODUCTS THAT WILL PROTECT YOUR SKIN FROM HARMFUL SUN EXPOSURE AND KEEP it HEALTHY AND GLORIOUS.

Physically and emotionally we always feel good when the weather is sunny. Certainly, sun is vital for us as it stimulates the production of vitamin D and important hormones in our body. However, besides all the good effects, sun could also be dangerous and aggressive.

GOOD TO KNOW ABOUT SUN RAYS:

• There are three ultraviolet rays: UVA, UVB, UVC.
• UVC rays are the short spectrum rays, which normally don’t reach the surface. Though, the problem of the climate change and increased amount of ozone holes in the atmosphere might lead to the point that UVC will be a big problem in the near future.
• UVB is a very intensive solar radiation, which reaches the outer layer of skin (epidermis). UVB rays are responsible for skin tanning, sunburns and increasing risk of skin cancer.
• UVA are intensive, harmful and dangerous rays. They easily reach us, penetrate through skin all the way to the deep inner layers of dermis and cumulate permanently. UVA rays very easy infiltrate through clouds, fog and glass. The effects of these sun rays are not visible right the way, but appears later as photoageing (premature ageing), different skin diseases (dermatitis) and increasing risk of skin cancer.

SPF (SUN PROTECTION FACTOR) THEORETICALLY MEASURES THE SUNSCREEN ABILITY TO PROTECT YOUR SKIN FROM BURNING.

GOOD TO KNOW ABOUT SUNSCREENS:

• Sunscreen should be applied 30 min before going under the sun.
• Most of the sunscreens must be reapplied every 2 hours.
• There is no sunscreen which keeps out 100% of ultraviolet radiation. SPF15 blocks out approximately 93% of all incoming UVB rays. SPF30 filters out around 97% of all UVB. SPF50+ blocks out 98% of all UVB.
• Sunscreens with higher SPF do not last or remain longer than sunscreens with lower SPF.
• Double dosage or thicker layer of a sunscreen do not give stronger protection.
• Always use the sunscreen which protects against both UVB & UVA rays.
