The Sun and Your Skin

 

Did you know that the Sun is responsible for a variety of skin issues and more importantly skin cancer. The sun is really our skin’s worst enemy. Scientific studies have shown that repeated UV exposure breaks down collagen, impairs skin’s ability to repair itself and attacks our elastin.

The damage is seen through deep wrinkles, age spots (hyper pigmentation, spider veins and rough, blotchy complexion and a leathery look.

Cumulative exposure to daylight will also cause extensive damage. Fifteen minute walks outside and occasional lunches outdoors can add up to weakened collagen and elastin, and of course skin cancer.

Soo….. with all this being said. Sun protection is thus your best friend when it comes to protecting your skin from the sun.

There is sunscreen technology that won’t clog your skin, irritate, or feel greasy.
