The health and beauty industry is focused, in a large part, on making your skin look as good as it can possibly look. There are a number of creams, supplements, and treatments formulated specifically for your type of skin, for achieving specific results, or for treating certain specialized conditions. However, the best thing you can do for your skin, before getting into specialized and customized treatments, is to use sunscreen on a daily basis.
That's right, sunscreen is your biggest ally when it comes to skin health. Applied on a daily basis, it is the first and most powerful layer of protection your skin will benefit from the entire day. Moreover, it can protect your from developing unwanted skin diseases, and will slow down the aging process of the skin caused by exposure to sunlight. Most people do not believe that sunscreen can have so many benefits, but clinical trials and numerous global studies have confirmed this well known fact. In this article we will be detailing the ways in which sunscreen can help you achieve beautiful skin, and can boost your overall health as well.
Data collected from beauty clinics all around the world have revealed that most clients complain about the aspect of their skin. Furthermore, the data revealed that the vast majority of the clients who are not satisfied with the look of their skin have suffered from sun damage after a lifetime of exposure to the sun and not wearing enough sunscreen or not wearing it at all. The constant effect of the sun on the skin is to dry it out. A more detailed explanation of this is that the UV rays from the sun degrade the collagen and elastin levels present in the skin, leaving it with a flaky, crepey look which make your skin look and feel older than it actually is.
The sun can also degrade and even eliminate, with age, your body's natural ability to create collagen and elastin. This means that you will be stuck with the old looking and feeling skin for the rest of your life if you don't protect it in due time. This being said, our recommendation to you for great skin health is to use sunscreen, as mentioned, every time you go out and are exposed to the sun.
One thing to take into consideration is to apply sunscreen even if it is cloudy outside, as the UV rays which the sun emits can travel though clouds easily and can reach your skin with the same damaging force. On the same not, these UV rays can also travel though glass, so try not to sit by the window all day long when you are at home as the rays can reach and affect you. This being said, again, always apply sunscreen on the exposed parts of your body when you go out, even if it is not summer and even if it is cloudy.
