 Each year over a million people in the United States, both young and old, will be diagnosed with skin cancer. Using sunscreen will not prevent skin cancer, but it will provide a certain level of protection for your skin.
According to a survey that was conducted in 2009 of 1,000 adults, nearly one-third of American’s admitted that they do not use sunscreen at any point in time. Sixty nine percent of those surveyed reported that they used sunscreen only occasionally.
Many people believe that you are more protected from the harmful rays of the sun based upon the amount of SPF protection that is offered on a sunscreen product. Most people do not realize that the SPF rating only applies to UVB protection. The SPF rating does not apply to UVA rays.
When picking a sunscreen product, people tend to grab the bottle that contains the highest SPF number. Skin care experts agree that sunscreens that have at least a 30 SPF are sufficient for spending time in the sun as long as they are applied liberally.
Toss those old bottles of sunscreen in the trash bin. Sunscreen begins to become ineffective after one year and is mostly useless after three years.
A sunscreen bottle may claim that it is will provide protection for 8 hours, but those claims are typically false. Skin care experts believe that sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours under normal conditions. When spending time in the water or sweating, sunscreen should be reapplied often. Water resistant sunscreen should be reapplied every 45 minutes to avoid painful burns.
Please check back on Tuesday for the conclusion.

 Skin care experts agree that if you want to keep your skin looking bright and help it maintain that youthful glow, you must exfoliate your facial skin. Exfoliating your skin can be done chemically (with a scrub or a peel) or mechanically (with a mechanical device or wash cloth.

 Yes, it’s true, at some point in time; we all are going to age. Wrinkles on your face and other parts of your body are a sign of aging. Most people, especially woman, don’t particularly care for the fact that eye wrinkles are a part of their future, despite the fact that everyone does indeed get older. Wrinkles around your eyes tend to stand out worse than they do on other parts of your face or body because people are constantly looking into your eyes when they speak to you…as opposed to say…your elbow.
It could be helpful to know how eye wrinkles form so that you can avoid allowing them to occur in the first place. In the eye area, the skin tissues must use and retain a good deal of moisture. The middle layer of skin (dermis) keeps the skin looking wrinkle free because it holds collagen. The dermis sends collagen to elastin fibers which then stretches the epidermis. Over time, the dermis loses the ability to hold collagen which caused the skin to pull downward causing sagging and wrinkles.
In addition to the natural reasons for eye wrinkles, here are a few more damaging factors:
• Excessive exposure to the sun.
• Excessive facial expressions: frowning, squinting, smiling, etc.
• Smoking
It’s a great idea to start taking care of your skin before any damage has begun, but it’s never too late to begin a good skin care regime. Obagi’s ELASTIderm Night Cream will boost collagen production and replenish elastin so that you will experience less wrinkles and look and feel younger!
