THE IMPORTANCE OF USING A
BROAD SPECTRUM (UVA & UVB) SUNSCREEN

Did you know that for every blistering burn it doubles your chances of getting skin cancer?

Although it is very important to wear sun protection year round, it is extremely important to protect yourself during the summer. Don't be fooled thinking a tan hides blemishes. Acne gets worse 2 weeks later and blemishes will become darker.

Always apply 30 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every 2 hours when in direct sun. Remember! No sunscreen is 100% protection, so avoid sun between the hours 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. or use clothing as protection.

The sun is the major cause of premature aging and damage to your skin. If you're serious about healthy skin, use Sun-X daily as part of your skin care regimen.

HOW DO SUNSCREENS WORK?

The SPF provides an indication as to the amount of time that a user may remain in the sun. The number following the SPF is the multiple of the time that it takes for the average skin to burn. Everybody's skin is different and burns at different times.

For example, if it takes you 10 minutes for the skin to burn, and you use an SPF 15, you should not burn for 150 minutes. Additionally, all sunscreens work differently so it is good to have a combination of sunscreens. Up to SPF 30 is sufficient for day to day use. Any SPF higher than 30 will only give an approximately 2-4% more protection while increasing the amount of potentially irritating chemical ingredients by 50 percent.

15 minutes a day of sun exposure throughout your body
is enough to produce necessary Vitamin D.

GUIDELINES TO APPLY SUNSCREEN:

  • Apply sunscreen at least 1/2-inch into the hairline, and remember the ears!

  • After application, allow 15-30 minutes before exposing the skin to the sun. It takes about that time for the sunscreen to absorb and work properly.

  • If in direct sun, use a hat. SPF 30 is sufficient for maximum protection. Any SPF higher than 30 runs the risk of the skin becoming irritated and sensitive.

  • Always use a full spectrum sunscreen. Not all sunscreens are created equal. It is important to have a UVA and UVB protection. UVA does not cause sunburn but, it can penetrate deeper into the skin, and research links them to signs of aging such as age spots. UVB is what causes blister type sunburns.

  • If in the water, make sure the sunscreen is water-resistant. Always reapply after 80 minutes of being in the water.

  • Photoxic- If you are on medications such as antibiotics, Accutane or any photo-sensitive constituents (oral or topical) must wear sunscreen at all times and avoid direct sun.
