Spring is
the perfect time to update or renew your anti-aging strategies and processes.
The long hot days of summer will soon be here and it’s important to take care
of your skin to protect against premature aging and unnecessary wrinkles and
skin blemishes.
Remember these important anti-aging
tips in your efforts to stop aging in its tracks:
-
Avoid
the sun between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. when the sun’s rays are the most
harmful.
- Always use a sunscreen on your face – look for specially prepared sunscreen for faces
only.
- Use a sunscreen with at least an SPF protection factor of 15 or more over all parts
of your body exposed to the sun. Reapply sunscreen every 20 minutes if you are
swimming or near water.
- Wear
a hat with a wide brim to avoid harmful rays that not only damage facial and
neck skin, but that can harm your eyes too.
- Wear
sunglasses to protect your eyes – the harmful rays of sun can damage your eyes
as you age.
- Stay
hydrated when outdoors by drinking plenty of fresh, cold water.Hydration is
important for your health and it helps keep your skin moist and healthy too.
- Exfoliate
frequently – especially in summer when dry skin and dead skin cells abound.
Removing dead skin cells helps return the healthy glow and moisture to your
skin.
- Get
an annual skin cancer check-up from a qualified dermatologist or physician.
Identifying the early signs of cancer can save your life. It can also help you
and your doctor continually refine your anti-aging strategy to combat the signs
of aging.
Spring and
summer are ideal times in most regions to enjoy the great outdoors. But your
war against aging is also extremely important during these times of the year.
The sun is the number one culprit when it comes to aging – don’t allow it to
damage your skin. Take proper precautions with this critical anti-aging
preventive measure.
You’ll be
glad you did for many years to come!
