 The sun gives off ultraviolet radiation which is divided into categories based upon the wavelength. UVA radiation will penetrate deep into the skin and UVB radiation affects the outer layer of the skin (the epidermis). UVB radiation is the primary cause of sunburns that people receive.
Ninety percent of premature skin aging, such as wrinkles and skin cancers, can be attributed to the exposure to UVA or UVB rays. Medical and skin care experts believe that it is important to protect your skin by using sunscreen daily. Some sunscreens that you will find physically block radiation and some absorb radiation.
Most people who use sunscreen, but have then received a sunburn, do so because of improper sunscreen application. Sunscreen should be applied liberally so that a film is formed on all sun exposed areas when it is initially applied. Sunscreen should be applied at least 30 minutes prior to your planned time in the sun as it takes 20-30 minutes for it to become fully effective. The reapplication of sunscreen should happen frequently to avoid sunburns. Sunscreen should always be reapplied after swimming, excessive sweating, or toweling to ensure proper protection of your skin.
Skin care experts agree that sunscreen should be the last product that is applied on the face. IS Clinical’s Powder Sunscreen offers safe and effective sun protection for your face and comes in a convenient brush on applicator. Exposing your skin to ultraviolet light can be dangerous and have life changing results. You can protect your skin every day by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen such as IS Clinical Treatment Sunscreen with SPF 25.

 You may experience dry facial skin for a variety of different reasons. Skin becomes dehydrated when oil glands do not supply enough lubrication to the skin. Your skin can also become dry due to repeated exposure to the elements, especially during the winter. Environmental factors such as chemicals, cosmetics, using harsh skin cleansers, and exposure to the sun, wind, or cold can affect your skin adversely.
Consuming specific foods are believed to help with dry skin issues. Dieticians say that dry skin suffers should eat a balanced diet that includes vegetables, fruits, grains, seeds and nuts. If you are looking for your skin to remain smooth and youthful, consume garlic, onions, eggs, and asparagus. Yellow and orange vegetables are high in beta-carotene, an important skin antioxidant which will help keep you skin smooth. Eating fried foods leads to the production of free radicals which has a destructive effect on your skin.

Because of the rise and fall of hormones, teens often experience acne breakouts. For some teens, acne comes in small and sporadic amounts while others will experience massive outbreaks that can result is self-afflicted or peer based isolation. Many over the counter acne products can be very harsh on the teen’s skin. Upon use, some teens report unbearable burning, itching, and stinging sensations which often result in a rejection of the offending products.
