The Importance of Sun Protection
According to a study up to 80 percent of ultraviolet (UV) rays, can pass through the clouds. The lighter someone's skin color, the less melanin it has that can protect itself from the harmful effects of UV rays but regardless of your skin tone, sun protection should be a daily habit.
We listed some of the key protection the will help you to become a UV rays’ warrior:
∙ Sunscreen, maybe some of us only wear sunscreen in the summer or when we are at the beach to avoid sunburn, but it really should be a year-round thing. Sunscreens are labeled with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) the higher the SPF, the greater the protection against UV rays. Sunscreen usually comes as a topical and some in the form of oral tablets. Balansè Skincare has a Ceramide-Enriched Cream with SPF 40. This fast absorbing dual-action SPF moisturizer provides your skin with optimal hydration, collagen production, and fortifies the skin from future sun damage.
∙ Sun Protection Gear, Sun exposure damages not only the skin but also the eyes. Different types of cover-ups are now readily available in the market such as umbrellas, sun visor caps, sunglasses, and sleeves. The more skin your outfit covers, the better your protection.
∙ Avoid the Strongest Sun Rays’ Time, if you are such a home buddy and doesn’t go out often, you can save a hefty amount of money buying sunscreen and gear by avoiding the strongest rays of the day, during this time our skin is more susceptible to the sun’s rays.
Sun protection not only saves us from sunburn and the visible signs of premature aging but also protects and helps us reduce the risk of Skin Cancer.
