We're entering into a higher U.V. season. We all know that sun protection is extremely important, especially in high U.V. regions, such as California. Did you know that, even though we take steps now to minimize sun damage, much of our U.V. damage is the result of past (or childhood) sun exposure?
Awareness was lacking in the old days regarding the importance of sun protection. Kids played and did sports in full sunlight almost all day long, without any sunscreen. As a result, the effects may cause a breakdown of collagen in our skin and the damage to appear later in life. People in the their 30s, 40s and up, may see an increase in dark spots, uneven skin tone, and deep (premature) wrinkles. It's not too late to minimize the risk!
Remember, it is U.V. that causes wrinkles in most cases...not aging! We CAN age well and take steps to maintain healthy skin and body.
Tips:
Kids: Sunscreen in the morning before school and outside activities! Re-apply as needed.
Adults: Moisturizer or a sunblock with a minimum of SPF-15 (Makeup may have sunscreen, as well). Extended sun exposure requires an SPF of 30 or higher. Hats and protective clothing are best!
Get an ANNUAL skin check by a Board Certified Dermatologist. If you have a sketchy U.V. history, you would do well to take that first step and get a skin check-up!
Make regular facials and skin care part of your personal care regimen. We are always happy to do a full assessment and recommend treatments for men, women, and teens. Our facials are very pampering and relaxing, as well. See and Feel the Difference!
