Shedding Light on Sunblock

Believe it or not, sunblocks are not created equal. It’s just not the level of protection that you should consider when choosing a sunblock, but also the type and longevity of that protection.   This is a good reminder to all of us to be careful about the products we use and do our research.  Thankfully, the FDA has just made it easier to know which sunblock does what so that we can make informed decisions based on what we need. 

The sun emits both ultraviolet B (UVB) and ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation.  While UVB is the main culprit in sunburn, UVA has a higher likelihood of causing skin cancer and premature aging.  Not all sunscreens protect you from both. This is why the FDA has mandated that stricter testing and labeling.  Only those sunscreens that pas the “Broad Spectrum” test, protecting against both UVA and UVB radiation, can be labeled as such.  With these new regulations, sunscreen products that protect against all types of sun induced skin damage will be labeled “Broad Spectrum” and “SPF 15 (or higher)” (Source: USDA).  In addition, sunscreens that are not broad spectrum will include a cautionary label “Skin Cancer/Aging Alert…”.

Please see the latest update from the USDA for more information on the FDA sunscreen regulations.

Get a Great Sunless Tan

We all know too much sun is not good for us.  And, I know that sunless tanning can be a real pain, a real mess, and its real hard to get natural looking results.  This is especially true for fair skinned people (like me) where even the 'light' shade is about 4 shades darker than my natural skin color.  Don't worry and don't put yourself at risk getting ready for summer.  You can significantly improve your self- tanning experience and outcome with a few tips.

 

1.       Get some sun first whether it’s natural light or a short stint in a tanning bed. Some will be mad at me for recommending this but if it helps you start a nice color for the summer so that you’ll use more sun protection all year, then I’ve just lowered your overall exposure and your risk. 

2.       Exfoliate before doing any indoor tanning.

3.       Get a spray tan before you use self-tanner at home. I love the Mystic tan. If you are light skinned, stay with the light. 

4.       Touch up at home with a self-tanning lotion or foam daily.

5.       Moisturize on a daily basis.  This will help your skin to look vibrant and will help your tan last longer.

6.       REPEAT steps 2-5 every 10-14 days.

Enjoy your sun-kissed tan and your much improved skin health!!!

Great Skin - Choose Low Impact Exercise

Good news for all your exercise avoiders out there. You know that working out regularly is good for your body, good for your mind, and good for your skin. Keep up the good work!!!  A regular exercise routine will improve your stress level, your energy level, and your overall health.  But...if you are over 40, you might want to rethink that high impact aerobics routine.  The constant jarring of high impact cardio isn't the best choice for your face. As you age, the collagen production decreases and your skins texture and elasticity lessens as well. The jumping movements with high impact cardio can cause increased loosening and sagging of your face.  Instead, choose walking, the elliptical, and other low impact exercises such as Pilates, strength training, and yoga.  Your skin will thank you!
