Sun Screen - The Best AntiAging Skin Care Product

Use a Broad Spectrum Sun Screen to Prevent New Sun Damage and Reverse Old Sun Damage

The sun is probably the biggest challenger to your efforts to maintain a youthful appearance. And, by the time you realize it, it’s probably too late.

It has been estimated that 85% of the damage the sun inflicts on just about all of us occurs before our 15th birthday.

So when we were young, enjoying all those beautiful sunny days, our skin was incurring damage that would not show up for another 30 years or so. And what damage it is!

The sun causes many of those wrinkles on our faces, hands and other parts of the body that were exposed to it, by breaking down collagen and elastin and damaging the skin´s ability to retain moisture. We wind up with loose, baggy, dry skin, which can actually look like tanned leather.

Also the sun’s damage causes the skin’s melanin to give out. You lose the protection the melanin gave you, plus you're blessed with those little “age” spots to boot. As all this happens, your risk of skin cancer increases.

No matter what your age or sex, if you want to look young, you need to use a good broad spectrum sun screen with an SPF rating of at least 15. Researchers have found evidence that using a sun screen constantly can reverse some of the damage you've already sustained, in addition to stopping more damage from occurring. If used constantly, whenever you’re exposed to the sun, you should see a gradual improvement in your skin’s appearance and feel.

Use sun screen in cloudy weather and even if you spend a lot of time in rooms with a lot of sun exposure. While glass can block some ultraviolet radiation it does block it all.

Apply sun screen liberally on all areas of the skin exposed to the sun. Repeat every two hours: studies have shown that most suncreens' protection drops off dramatically after that time. Also reapply if you go swimming or do anything that causes you to sweat a lot.

Here are three very good full spectrum sun screens: DDF Organic Sunblock SPF 30; Cellex-C Sun Care SPF 15; and M.D. Formulations Total Daily Protector SPF 15

Do yourself a favor and use sun screen constantly. Do any even bigger favor to your children and grandchildren. Make sure they get used to using sun screen while they are young, so that they don’t have to suffer the sun’s effects as much as we do.
