Why You Should Invest In A Face Sun Cream

By Haywwod Hunter


A suntan as fashion statement is a relatively new concept. Coco Chanel made it popular early in the twentieth century. Before then, tanned skin was reserved for the lower classes who often made their living outdoors. However, while tanned skin may now be fashionable, the risks that come with it aren't. This is why you need a good face sun cream.

You need some sunlight on your skin for your body to produce vitamin D. Without this vitamin, you are at risk for bone diseases. However, too much sun causes your skin to age prematurely and you are at risk for skin cancer as well. This is especially true in sunny climes and where the ozone layer is at its thinnest, which explains the high incidence of skin cancer in Australia and South Africa.

There are two types of ultraviolet ray that can cause damage to your skin. UVA rays break down skin's structure and cause wrinkles and that leathery, saggy texture that make you look older than you are. UVB rays give you that wonderful tanned color but also sunburn and skin cancer. To protect your skin, it's best to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen that blocks both types.

To protect your face, it's better to use a sunscreen that has been formulated for facial skin specifically. This is because your facial skin is oilier and doesn't react well to the richer creams you use on your body. Facial sunscreens are lighter and often better for sensitive skin too.

It's best to use a specially formulated facial sunblock that you can apply as part of your daily beauty routine. Apply it after you've applied moisturizer and about 30 minutes before you will be exposed to sunlight. You'll need at least a quarter of a teaspoonful to ensure adequate protection. Keep reapplying it throughout the day.

If possible, avoid going outside after 10 a. M. And before 2 p. M. During this time the ultraviolet rays that can harm you are stronger because they hit Earth at a more direct angle. They also do more damage near water and snow that reflect them and at high altitudes. If you have to be in the outdoors, wear a hat with a sufficiently wide brim.

Many people don't like having pale skin because it makes them look unhealthy. However, you don't need to risk skin damage to get that healthy glow. Cosmetics like bronzing creams or powders provide instant results while self-tanning products give longer-lasting results.

If you skip the face sun cream, you may regret it one day when you need expensive plastic surgery to repair the damage caused by skin cancer or the loss of the skin's elasticity. It's better to be safe than sorry. There are so many products on the market that you'll easily find one that will suit your skin, your lifestyle and your budget and that will easily fit into your pocket or handbag.
