Sunscreen is the most important part of your skincare regimen. Why? Well I'm glad you asked... Most of us really miss the importance of wearing sunscreen and it's probably because you've never been told the true facts about it. Here's some not so fun facts you need to know.
According to the American Skin Care Foundation, skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States. More than 3.5 million skin cancers in over two million people are diagnosed each year. Did you know that 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer over a lifetime? Most skin cancers are associated with UV rays from the sun. Now you know a little bit about why you need sunscreen and what can happen if you don't use it.
Here's some tips and tricks you can do everyday that will help:
• Know that too much sun exposure can cause premature aging if not wearing at least SPF 15
• If you don't like layering products on your face there are facial moisturizers, foundations, eye creams and lipsticks all with SPF in them
• Manufactuers even make products with SPF for all different types of skin; dry, oily and combination. If you don't know what type of skin you have, most department stores like Macy's, Lord and Taylor and Sephora offer free skincare consultations
• Don't use facial moisturizers at night with sunscreen in them. They aren't made to be used 24 hours a day, they can aggrivate your skin and cause problems like blemishes and rashes.
