This sunscreen contains a natural botanical extract and other ingredients that will even your skin tone.

This SPF product also contains iron oxides that will shield your skin from blue light and reduce your chance of experiencing hyperpigmentation issues. You will need to apply this product 15 minutes before you plan to spend time in the sun. If you are swimming or sweating, you should reapply your product after 40 minutes.  

Why Should I Use Sunscreen To Protect My Skin?

Whenever you go outside, you will be exposed to the ultraviolet radiation that the sun emits. Over time, this radiation can harm your health and cause you to age more quickly. Wearing high-quality sunscreen is an easy, affordable way to decrease your likelihood of experiencing these issues.

Protecting Your Health

Using high-quality sunscreen as part of a comprehensive sun-protection plan is a good way to minimize your chance of suffering from certain types of skin problems. If you regularly use sunscreen that has an SPF of 15, you can decrease your chance of experiencing a health problem called squamous cell carcinoma. You will also be less likely to develop a type of skin cancer that is known as melanoma.

Maintaining a Youthful Look

Extended sun exposure will damage your tissues and cause you to look older. In particular, you will be more likely to develop fine lines on your face and neck at an early point in your life. Sun exposure can also give you sagging skin and cause age spots to appear on your face. If you want to look youthful and vibrant, you should use one of our best-selling SPF products to shield your skin.

Should I Use Other Techniques To Protect My Skin From the Sun?

In addition to using high-quality sunscreen, you can lower your risk of developing skin cancer and sunburns by adjusting your clothing and adopting other healthy habits when you spend time outdoors.

Wear Protective Clothing

Wearing protective clothing is a good way to shield your face, legs, and other locations from the damaging effects of the sun. If you put on a tank top and shorts, you might develop a burn on your legs or arms. You can shield these areas by wearing long-sleeved shirts and pants. You should also remember to protect your face by putting on a hat and wearing sunglasses during your outdoor activities.

If you wear clothing with fabric that is loosely knit, the ultra-violet rays from the sun will be more likely to damage your skin. As a result, you will need to remember to use sunscreen on areas that are covered by a lightweight fabric. If you would like to receive additional protection, you should think about buying sun-protective clothing that is designed to help you enjoy the outdoors without experiencing skin issues.

Seek Shade

The rays that the sun emits will be strongest during the hours between 10 AM and 4 PM. To decrease your chance of developing burns and sun damage, you should limit your outdoor activities during these times. In addition, you can protect your skin by following a technique that is known as the shadow rule. According to this rule, you should go in the shade whenever you cast a shadow that is shorter than you are.

Other aspects of your environment can affect your risk of experiencing burns and early skin aging. In particular, water and sand will reflect the sun’s rays and cause you to have a more significant chance of experiencing an uncomfortable sunburn. As a result, you will need to be especially careful about your sun exposure if you are going swimming or spending time on the sandy shores of a beach.

Consider the UV Index

The UV Index will help you determine the risks of spending time in the sun during a certain day. You can see this index by looking up your local weather report. When the UV index is especially high, you should focus on spending time indoors. For example, you could decide to reschedule your trip to the beach and enjoy inside activities if the UV index is over 10.

What Does SPF Mean?

When you begin looking for sunscreens to use during the next several months, you will see that each of these products provides different levels of SPF protection. This term stands for Sun Protection Factor. This important number measures a product’s ability to protect you from the damaging ultraviolet B rays of the sun. Exposure to this type of ultraviolet ray can lead to skin cancer and other health programs.

The SPF number is obtained by comparing the effect of a properly applied sunscreen to the effect of spending time in the sun without any protection. For example, you might burn after 15 minutes if you do not use any sunscreen. If you properly apply a product with an SPF of 15, you will take 15 times longer to burn. As a result, you should be able to avoid burning for about 225 minutes, or almost four hours.

Can I Use Aesthetic Treatments To Address My Sun Damage?

If you have sun damage on your skin or other areas, you can use several different aesthetic treatments to address this condition.

Forever Young Broadband Light Treatments

Your chest, hands, and face will be more likely to receive a large amount of sun exposure during your lifetime. As a result, these locations may show early signs of age. For example, red patches and spots may appear on the surface of your skin. Fortunately, you can renew these features by getting a broadband light treatment. This technique will use light energy to gently heat your skin and cause you to grow more collagen fibers.

Improving your collagen will cause your skin to look less wrinkled, and your age spots and other pigmentation problems will begin to improve. Further, this treatment can decrease the prominence of the blood vessels on your face. We will usually need to spend about 30 to 60 minutes improving your skin, and you’ll be able to use comfortable safety glasses to shield your eyes during this process.

Halo Laser Skin Resurfacing

Receiving a Halo laser skin resurfacing treatment will minimize the sun damage that is negatively impacting your appearance. Since this treatment will use non-ablative and ablative laser energy to correct your cosmetic challenges, you will achieve dramatic changes in your skin. In addition to correcting your sun damage, you can improve rosacea, acne scars, line fines, and other skin problems.

You’ll usually start to develop more youthful-looking skin within about four or five days. These improvements will become more noticeable during the next couple of months. You may see more lasting improvements if you receive up to three laser sessions. Sometimes, we may advise you to use this technique in connection with broadband light treatments. For example, you might be asked to get four broadband light treatments and one laser session every year.

Protect Your Skin

Going swimming, visiting the beach, and hiking are beneficial ways to exercise and enjoy the beautiful summer months. To spend time outside without damaging your skin, you should always apply powerful sunscreen onto your skin. To purchase best-selling SPF products that will lower your risk of experiencing uncomfortable sunburns and early sun damage, you should contact us at ProMD Health in Baltimore, Maryland.
