SUN BLOCK

We know our wonderful sun that warms the earth and lights our days can also cause cancer on our skin. You should also be aware that the sun will create deep, deep wrinkles on unprotected skin.

Add sun block to your face first thing every morning. Add sun block to your chest and arms and anywhere else that may be exposed to the sun.

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. Products are limited to 50 SPF, but 15 SPF is adequate for daily use unless you are a construction worker or lifeguard. The amount of SPF you need depends on your lifestyle. Read the labels carefully. Not all sun blocks are for use on your face. Not all SPF containing products are complete sun blocks. They may be sun screens which reflect the Ultraviolet Type B rays, but not Ultraviolet Type A.

Make sure that your makeup includes SPF. I prefer the tinted moisturizers to makeup foundation as I have dry skin. Try several until you find the right weight and coverage you need on your face. Don't forget your neck.

Read the labels on the products, and PLEASE wear something to protect your skin from damage-both wrinkles and cancer.
