How to protect Skine from the sun shines

When it comes to the sun, I think it’s an eternal love / hate affair. I loved it when I was 18 and worshipped it because it could make me look like a tanned goddess. As I grew older (and wiser), I hate it for what it does to my skin.

But I still love it knowing that there’s a ready supply of sunshine in this part of the world because it also brings a sense of joy (knowing or unknowingly). I’ve heard how depressed people become when there’s little or no sun and the week with the haze was a good example – I don’t know about you but I was pretty affected.

So while we’re basking in the joys of happy sunshine, let’s not forget those harmful UV rays.

My biggest beauty fear besides wrinkles is pigmentation spots that turn to large patches that no amount of whitening products will be able to erase. This is why putting on a sunscreen as a last step in my morning skin care regime has become such a habit that I feel exposed and vulnerable without it. I think the years of doing this has finally paid off because nobody would have been able to tell that beneath my presently good and fair skin (minus a few sun spots) once laid a hardcore sun worshipper.

If you find it a chore or dislike the idea of piling on an extra layer of product on your skin, then you haven’t been out there trying out the latest offerings of sunscreens. Most of the sunscreens (not sunblocks) in the market today are really lightweight and they don’t leave any white streaks or feel greasy after application.

In fact, some moisturisers come with SPF and there are also a lot of makeup offerings like the BB or CC creams that come with high SPF to make it really convenient for girls today. So there is really no excuse to expose your skin to the possible risks of skin damage. Don’t wait till you see the spots or lines to do something. It’s time to start protecting your skin.
