Prevent Wrinkles Early

Filed Under Blog, Seasonal, Skin Care |

Summer is just about upon us and all I can say is, please, please, please…use the sunscreen!! Dermatologist estimate that 80% of wrinkles, before the age of sixty, are caused by over exposure to the sun. Need I say more? Well, just in case I do need to - we usually only think about overexposure to the sun if we are at the beach, or outside all day. Do you think about it when you have your window rolled down, enjoying the fresh summer air? How about when you take that nice walk to lunch (more calories burned if you walk, right)? All the little exposures during the day add up to little tiny lines showing up early and getting worse later, especially with that delicate skin around your eyes. We must use as much care to protect and preserve our skin with preventative measures as we do when we actually see the wrinkles appear.

Make sure you use a moisturizer with sunscreen in it or, if your favorite moisturizer is without sunscreen apply one on top of your moisturizer. If you use foundation you can also use a foundation that has sun screen as part of its ingredients. When you are going to be outdoors all day make sure you use a sunscreen that is strong enough to protect you, and don’t forget your eyelids, top of your ears and hair part line! We don’t want skin cancer any more than we want wrinkles. Most of all, make sure you carry a bottle of sunscreen with you, it’s the times when your caught unexpected that will do the most damage. You know what I’m talking about, it’s such a beautiful day that you decide to have lunch on the patio. The conversation is so good and you are having so much fun that you linger for hours, and before you know it you look like a lobster. Avoid this situation with your trusty travel size tube of sunscreen, a must for every purse in your closet!
