Protect the Skin You're InWritten by Alli Ross
Summer is approaching and thousands of people will be working on their tans before they whip out their shorts and swimsuits. However, improper skin care can cause permanent damage from suns rays. Regardless of your skin type, it is very important to protect your skin. Here are some key tips to keep in mind this summer. Choose an appropriate sunscreen. If you’ve been to store lately, you’ve probably seen a complete aisle full of sun block products. It’s often hard to know which one to buy. Look for one that protects against UVA and UVB rays. (UVB rays are actually more harmful for sun burning UVA rays). It’s crucial that your sun screen protects against both of these sun rays. Don’t waste your time with half protection. What about SPF? The SPF number simply tells people how much longer they can last out in sun without being burned. The higher SPF number, longer your skin is protected against sun. For example, lets say you put on a sunscreen with SPF 20. This would protect your skin up to 20 times longer than your average amount of protection time. To find out how long your sunscreen will protect your skin (multiply how long it normally takes you to burn * SPF of your sunscreen) So, if you normally burn after 30 minutes in sun and you have sunscreen with an SPF 15, your skin would be protected for 450 minutes ( or 7.5 hours)
