Protect your skin and lips from the sun
It's important to protect our skin from the
sun and harmful UV rays. There are so many sunscreens
and moisturizers
with SPF protection on the market today, it's
maybe difficult to tell which one is the best for you.
Good suncreens and moisturizers
not only protect your skin from sun damage, they
should also provide SPF protection to block
harmful UV rays and prevent sunburn. In fact, you
may want to consider going with a natural or herbal
sunscreen. Not only do they provide sun protection,
but they often contain antioxidants and soothing
herbs that help condition your skin.
When looking for sunscreen, it's essential that
it be a broad-spectrum, PABA-free, water-resistant
sunscreen. You may want to view the ingredients and
choose a sunscreen with vitamin C
and vitamin E. Some herbal sunscreens also contain
herbs that are good for the skin such as
green tea,
calendula, linden, chamomile or rosemary.
Don't forget that your lips are just as important
as your skin. Lip balm that contains SPF protection
helps prevent sunburn, windburn and chapping and
protects against harmful UV rays as well as .
Good lip balms soothe and moisturize. Lip balms
that contain aloe vera
are great, because they not only soothe your lips, the
aloe vera
also relieves painful cold sores, fever blisters and
cracked, dry lips.
As with sunscreen, lip balm with antioxidant
protection is a bonus. Some great herbal lip balms
contain herbs such as aloe vera,
apricot, castor oil, jojoba oil, squalane, beeswax,
camphor, bee propolis, Icelandis moss, menthol or golden seal.
Because our skin and lips are exposed to the sun
and UV rays on a daily basis, it's crucial to provide
adequate protection. Protecting your skin from the
sun can help prevent wrinkles, decrease the aging
process and help prevent skin cancer. So what are you
waiting for?
