What will happen if you don't wear sunscreen?
If you are a sun worshipper who loves to have a tan you might not like what I am going to say in the next paragraph. I remember a song from the '70s with lyrics that said “You’ve got to be cruel to be kind, in the right measure” I’ve found this to be true so I’ve got to tell you this: THE #1 CAUSE OF PREMATURE AGING OF THE SKIN IS SUN EXPOSURE!
Excessive sun exposure literally destroys collagen and DNA. I have sat in a consultation room with women (and men) and seen the long-term consequences on the faces and bodies of sun worshippers. I have seen 30 year-olds who look 40 and I have met people who are 50 with beautiful healthy skin who could pass for 40. I have also met many 50-year-old women who do not look a day under 60, and sometimes 70, because they have spent their life maintaining a tan. It is my responsibility to tell them that there is only so much laser treatments can do, and they do not work well on skin that has been abused with excessive sun exposure. I have seen their tears and heard their cries “I wish I hadn’t spent so much time in the sun. People warned me but I wouldn’t listen.” I have cried with them.
Please don’t do this to yourself. A tan looks nice on young skin, but untanned, healthy, youthful looking skin look better. Get some sun, in moderation, avoid sunburns and if you want that dark tan, try tinted SPF, a self-tanning lotion or one of the many spray tans available. I’ll end with more lyrics from the hit song by Nick Lowe, “Cruel to be kind means I love you, baby!”
Skinpossible carries a wide range of sun protection products to protect and defend against the harmful effects of UVB, UVA and HEV rays:
Chemical SPF’s penetrate to interfere with light absorption of damaging ray
Broad-spectrum physical SPF’s shield the skin to block damaging rays naturally
Protective ingredients that increase the skin’s defense against free radicals caused by sun exposure
UVA and UVB protection isn’t enough! You need HEV protection too!
Research has shown that damage from High Energy Visible light (HEV- Computers, Phones, Tables) may be as harmful as that caused by UVA and UVB combined because it penetrates more deeply into the skin with the potential for causing even greater long-term damage.
