Have you ever scalded yourself with very hot water from the tap? Noticed how red the skin was? That's exactly what happens when you go into the sun without sunscreen - the sun burnsyour skin - and a burn is a burn. It is skin damage. You should always use sunscreen.
Sunscreen in itself is not necessarily good for you- I mean, if you put it on and then stay inside all day, it won't do you any good. But if you're out in the sun a lot, sunscreen is a really good idea. Sunscreen protects your skin from the sun's UV rays which may be very harmful to your skin. The sun is very hot, and may give you a sunburn, heat rash, or even skin cancer if you are out too much without sunscreen. Sunscreen doesn't guarantee you WON'T get any of these, but it will help lesser the chances. Tip: ALWAYS WEAR SUNSCREEN!
Sunscreen. Lots of sunscreen.
Sun protection factor. It is a measure of how much longer you can stay in the sun, without burning, when compared to not wearing sunscreen.
No, sunscreen blocks the sun. But sun tan lotion helps you tan faster. :)
No. They have issues with producing melatonin, that protects the skin and hair from destruction by the sun.
The SPF system was developed in 1962 by Franz Greiter to measure the capacity of a sunscreen to block UVB radiation. The rating of the system was determined based upon how long it took skin to redden or burn without sunscreen. An example is it takes approximately 20 minutes without sunscreen for your skin to turn red. With an SPF-15 cream, it would ideally take 15 times longer for the skin to turn red.
An opaque sunscreen will not let the sun close to you skin it will just bonce off the sunscreen. A transparent sunscreen will let the sun come through the sunscreen and will potentially burn you skin.
The SPF number on a sunscreen label stands for Sun Protection Factor. This means if the SPF is 30, this means you can stay in the sun 30 times longer than you would be able to without wearing sunscreen.
Avoid the sun when it is strong, cover up your body, and use high-factor sunscreen
You should apply the Clinique sun broad spectrum spf50 sunscreen face cream where you need long lasting protection from the sun. Ideally this should be applied in the morning for long lasting sun protection. It can be applied before make up and by hand gently massaging into the face.
A doze of sunscreen might work...
