Keep Your Skin Safe in the Sun

Now that you’re enjoying that summer sun, here are some tips to keep your skin safe, smooth, & sexy!

First off, get to know the key terms that will help you stay healthy. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally-occurring substance that is present in large amounts in younger skin. The level of hyaluronic acid decreases with age, and causes skin to become dry and oily during the summer. Since hyaluronic acid creates a barrier that moisturizes the skin, adults can benefit from products that utilize the substance. When you’re selecting a moisturizer or lotion for the summer months, check the label and look for hyaluronic acid.

Next, be smart about the sun: wear sunscreen even on the cloudiest, most overcast day. UV rays are always dangerous, even when you can’t see the sun clearly. Take a good look at the products you are putting into and onto your body. Anyone taking an acne treatment such as accutane or benzoyl-peroxide should consult his or her dermatologist to see if a switch for the summer is possible. These medications make the skin more susceptible to sunburn. Another substance that makes the skin more sensitive is Vitamin A. As a result, more and more people are switching to Vitamin C-based lotions and moisturizers.
