Post Summer SOS for your Skin- The Time is Now!


After summer, we should all strive to brighten up, smooth out and tighten up our skin.  After a long hot summer in the sun and elements, our skin has taken a huge toll.  We have exposed our skin to the maximum level of sun rays while having our fun in the sun.  Many of us know to use sunscreen, preferably sun block religiously, although it is still hard to keep the products on completely and frequently enough.  

Even a T shirt will only provide a sunscreen of 15. So what can happen?  Our skin turns different shades of red to brown but underneath, in the deeper layers our skin  is undergoing serious changes in the immune system, pigmentation cells, dermis layer where collagen and elastin cells are held.  End result is dry, wrinkled, blotchy, looser, spotted skin.  Is it all worth the tan or the activity without great protection?
 
Most skin cancers, serious ones are known to be a condition of lifestyle.  Melanoma, a skin cancer derived from pigment cells can kill fast. There are very few known good chemotherapy treatments. The sun exposure we accumulate over life is what brings these aggressive cancers.  Hereditary predisposition also plays a part.
 
What can we do?  When we go in the sun stay completely protected with at least a 50 to 60 block with zinc or titanium dioxide and cover all exposed areas as well as frequent application, every 45 minutes.  Sounds crazy but the alternatives are not good---old skin with potential for pre-cancers and serious systemic cancer.  

Keep covered up. Sun block clothes, lightweight are also available besides hats, gloves, and trying to avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., But don't let that fool you.  Just take a look at the difference in your skin under where we get no exposure (underwear). What a difference in texture and all. The skin is smoother, plumper, and not blotchy 
 
It you want to restore your skin from the summer, try a regime of glycolic peels. Try Clinage!
They are great to restore our skin after all the damage.  The repeated peels help smooth out skin and rebuild and repair with more collagen and elasticity as well as even out tone.  

Vitamin applications, especially Vitamin C (particularly in the form of magnesium C ) work to additionally repair rebuild, tone and protect your skin from further skin destruction. A regular program of products that lightly exfoliate as a cleanser and keep a layer of glycolic acid sugar base on our skin along with vitamins C, A (retinyl palmitate), E, and niacinamide.  Make sure you are using cosmeceutical grade substances not deleted down. Most drug store and retail establishments do not have the right amount of chemical construction to have advanced results.  WE all can have beautiful skin and protection ourselves from future damage.
