Sunscreens have been on the market for years, so what sun protection products are the most affective against anti-aging, and what are the long-term effects that sunscreens have on our skin? There is new information regarding the differences between chemical sunscreens and natural sunscreens.
Sun Protection sunscreens with organic Aloe Extract, Almond oil, and B-Carotene “Botanicals of Life” contain the richest known source of anti-oxidant beta-carotene, and help protect skin against free radicals and premature aging. These benefits are enhanced by a new generation of micronized and micro-dispersed Titanium-Dioxide (ultra-fine mineral pigment of natural origin) that act as a protective barrier against harmful UV rays that cause wrinkles. Titanium-Dioxide forms an invisible protective shield on the surface of the skin that physically deflects the sun. It’s like wearing a t-shirt on your face. Where as, the chemical sunscreens absorb UV rays into the skin. Chemical sunscreens are irritating to the skin, and researchers have noticed the use of chemical sunscreens has decreased water retention in the skin giving an “orange peel” texture to the skins surface.
PREVENTION
You can find natural Titanium-Dioxide in many foundations and Powders on the market today. They are one of the best sources of sun protection in latest discoveries. Some dermatologist are recommending foundations to their patients instead of chemical sunscreens because it guarantees a natural and efficient, broad-spectrum UVA/UVB protection that helps to deflect the suns harmful rays.
SUN TANNING
Sun bathing has its benefits as researchers have concluded that some sun tanning can be beneficial. The natural sunlight helps heal the body, boosts the immune system and energizes organs. Vitamin D from the sun enhances healthy bone and tissue. Sun tanning should only be in moderation. You do not want to sunburn the skin. Sunburn is the quickest way to damage the skins surface. It causes the breakdown of collagen, then forming wrinkles which results in premature aging.
SELF TANNERS
Self-tanners in a clear cream formula are highly recommended. Clear cream sunless tanners work with your own melanin in your skin producing a natural appearance that is three shades darker than your original color. Self- tanners that have a bronze pigment will tan you immediately but will rub off on clothing. Be careful to apply the lotions evenly, watching troublesome areas such as ankles, wrists, and knees. Self-tanners are a great way to look bronzed naturally with out the risk of ruining the skin from sun damage.
