Facial Sun Protection
With the hotter weather it is so vital to keep yourself protected from
the sun's powerful UV rays. This is an essential thing to do to guard
against sunburn, skin cancer and premature ageing. Wearing sunscreen is
one of the best — and easiest — ways to protect your skin's appearance
and health at any age. Used regularly, sunscreen helps to prevent
sunburn, skin cancer and premature aging. The protection factor (SPF)
represents a sunscreen’s ability to protect against a specific portion
of ultraviolet (UV) light called UVB. UVB rays are responsible for
sunburns and skin cancer. There are two other portions of UV light: UVC
rays (which don’t pass the earth’s atmosphere)and UVA rays (which are
also responsible for skin cancer as well as skin aging). A sunscreen
that is broad spectrum will protect against both UVB and UVA rays. I
personally wear a facial sunscreen every day regardless of the time of
year or the weather. My chosen product that I use for facial protection
is Vichy Capital Soleil UV Age Daily SPF 50 facial sun protection. It is
such a great product that is a light lotion which you apply every
morning as the last stage of your skincare routine. So this means you
apply it on top of your moisturizer. It absorbs really well without any
greasy or oily residue and leaves a really nice soft canvas on your
skin. You can wear it on it's own or you can even wear it under your
makeup. I would really recommend to everyone to keep your lovely faces
protected and guarded against premature wrinkles, sunburn and dark spots
and especially skin cancer. God bless xx
