Dermatologists and estheticians will tell you that it is much easier to prevent sun damage than to repair sun damage on the skin. People of all ages need to properly protect themselves from sun damage that can cause wrinkles, early signs of aging and skin cancer.
It is not difficult to prevent sun damage. There are several ways to prevent the sun from hurting your skin that can be easily added to your regular daily routine. To be effective, these prevention methods should be applied every single day. Remember that the sun’s powerful rays can reach your skin even on a cloudy day.
Use an SPF moisturizer: Using a moisturizer with an SPF on the face everyday will help to protect the skin. If you wear cosmetics, the SPF should be applied under makeup. Find a moisturizer specifically made for applying to the face to avoid any products with ingredients that may clog pores.
Wear Sunglasses: Wearing large shades when driving and when outdoors will protect the very fragile and thin skin around the eyes. This skin is prone to aging and sun damage. Sunglasses with UV protection will help to prevent sun exposure.
The sun will reach your skin even with prevention methods. If you notice color spots or any skin growths see a medical professional immediately. Skin care and sun damage prevention include regular trips to a doctor.
