Too much Sun can Sabotage your Facial Skin Rejuvenation Efforts

Not everyone likes to smoke or drink alcohol, but everyone likes to feel those sun rays touch their skin, especially after being indoors all day. UV radiation is the culprit for most of the problems that we face during the aging process. First off, UV exposure leads to the production of free radicals that can eventually lead to the destruction of cells and tissue.

Sun damage is cumulative. Therefore, you may not notice its effects when you are young. However, by the time you're in your forties you'll start noticing age spots and wrinkles appear in areas that are most exposed to the sun.

The best way of protecting your skin is by using a sunscreen or sun block. In order to keep a high level of protection throughout the day, you'll need to reapply frequently. Here are some general guidelines to know how often to reapply sun block:

First, you need to find out how long it takes for your skin to turn red without any sun protection. Don't go overboard and wait till your skin feels a burning sensation, there is no need for it. Second, multiply the time (in minutes) it takes for your skin to get red by the SPF factor on the bottle.

For example, if your skin takes 1 min to redden and your sunscreen has an SPF of 30, then you should reapply the product every 30 minutes to maintain a constant level of protection. Also remember that it is important to apply your sun protection at least 20-30 minutes before going outside.
