Sunscreen - Beauty Tips


Sun light is important for our body, as it refreshes our mind. The body produces vitamin D from sunlight, particularly from the UVB band of ultraviolet light, and too much isolation from the sun can lead to its insufficiency. Vitamin D is very important for our body. But exposure to sun light for a considerably larger period of time can be very harmful for our skin. Excessive exposure can lead to sunburn if a person does not wear sun protective clothing or use suitable sunscreen. It is a certified fact that certain Ultra Violet rays present in the sun light are a cause of skin cancer. Apart from this, early ageing of the skin is also due to contact with the sun light. It causes pre mature wrinkles on the bare and sensitive areas of the skin.
The most obvious way to save one self from direct sun light is by staying indoors during the sun light hours. But it is not at all a practical solution, as everyone has to carry on with their numerous chores. For this reason, you can apply sun screen ointments before stepping into the direct sun light. Sun screens have become widely popular and very easy to obtain and apply. Sun screens help you to protect your skin from the Ultra Violet rays of the sun.
Sunblock is a lotion, spray, gel or other contemporary product that absorbs or returns some of the sun's ultraviolet radiation on the skin open to sunlight and thus helps protect against sunburn and other problems. Skin lightening products also have sunscreen to shelter lightened skin as light skin is more vulnerable to sun damage than darker skin.
Keeping in accordance with the extensive popularity and usage of sun screen ointments, many different varieties and brands of sun screens are becoming available in the markets on a regular basis. A sun screen can be in many different forms and types. You can choose the one that best suits your skin type. The best sun screens are that moisturize your skin along with protecting it from the ultra violet rays. In addition, you should use a different type of sun screen for your body and face.
While purchasing a sun screen for the face, women should consider the fact that the sun screen should be such that it does not disturb your makeup and foundation. For best results, sun screen should be used earlier in the morning. After applying the moisturizer, wait for about ten minutes, to let it be absorbed into the skin. After some considerable amount of time, apply your sun screen lotion or cream.
The best way to apply any sun screen or moisturizer is too apply it on a wet skin. Rub a considerable amount of sun screen on the exposed areas of your skin. Not only the face, but the other areas of your body, like the hands, neck, feet and arms, etc are equally important. Gently massage your skin to allow the sun screen to be well absorbed.
The most sensitive areas of your skin specially need sun screen as they are more susceptible to harm. Using a hat with a wide brim and anti-UV sunglasses can give almost complete safety against ultraviolet radiation affecting the eyes.
