The sun’s rays are really harmful and they cause wrinkles and sun spots. It is important to protect our skin from the sun, just because it can cause cancer, but the sun also ages your skin. And so if you are not worried about getting cancer, then maybe you are worried about getting wrinkles. And wearing sunscreen really does fight those wrinkles. Perhaps, you should start thinking of sunscreen as the best anti wrinkle cream, because that is what it is.
Do you only wear sunscreen at the beach? Well, that is not enough. You know it is not. The sun affects you everyday, even when you can’t see it. You are aging, even when you don’t tan or burn. The sun’s rays ages you everyday when you are driving to and from work. It affects you when you are just working from your car to the store. All of that incidental sun exposure adds up over time. So don’t forget to apply your broad spectrum UVB/UVA sunscreen everyday, even when you are at home. The sun’s UVA rays penetrate right through windows and clouds. So don’t think that an overcast day means you can skin out on the sunscreen. The UVA rays are the aging rays. So be sure to apply the best anti aging wrinkle cream daily, sunscreen.
By the way, when I say sunscreen. I am not talking about those anti wrinkle creams with sunscreen in it, they usually do not have very good protection at all and usually little to no UVA protection. Again you have to read the ingredients. I am talking about the sunscreen that you buy for the beach. Buy one of these sunscreens for daily use, they are the best. You do want to fight wrinkles, don’t you? And you don’t need to buy the one specially made for the face either. The ones for the body, usually have the same formula, they just come in a big bottle with a better price. They are actually pretty cosmetically elegant as well. There is a sunscreen out there for everybody, regardless of your skin type. Just keep trying them until you find the one that works the best for your skin.
Don’t just go out and buy any old sunscreen either. They are not all the same. Just like all of those anti wrinkle cream are not the same, sunscreens aren’t either. Some sunscreens have great UVB protection and terrible or no UVA protection. And again the UVA rays causes the aging and wrinkles. The SPF number is actually the number of how much protection you are receiving from UVB rays, not UVA rays. The only way to tell the amount of UVA protection you are receiving is by reading the sunscreen’s ingredients. Luckily, the sunscreens in America are getting better and better. There are a lot of sunscreens that have great UVA protection.
Should You Use a Chemical or Physical Anti Wrinkle Cream? (Sunscreen)
If you use a chemical sunscreen make sure avobenzone is in the ingredient list. And make sure there is no octinoxate, because it will destabilize the avobenzone. Think of it as octiNOxate. When a sunscreen is unstable it will not last as long on your skin, maybe only an hour. A stable sunscreen will last for several hours. So read the ingredient list. And if you use a physical sunscreen make sure there is both zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Be sure to buy one with high active ingredient percentages as well. The higher the better UVA protection. You should also be aware that chemical sunscreens usually have far superior UVA protection than physical sunscreen, but you should use whatever works for your skin. Keep in mind though, that chemicals in sunscreen will not hurt you. The skin is a barrier and will protect you from chemicals. So many people are so worried about chemical sunscreens, may natural companies place this fear into their customers in order to get more sales. You should not worry about those chemicals so much. Did you know that water is a chemical? Yes, H2O is a chemical. You should be more worried about not protecting your face from the sun properly. Check out the sunscreens with mexoryl, helioplex, or sunsure technologies.
Don’t mix your sunscreen with other things, such as your anti wrinkle cream. Mixing sunscreen with anything can interfere with the sunscreen’s ingredients, causing it to be ineffective. And be sure to apply your anti wrinkle cream before the sunscreen. Sunscreen should be the last skincare product you apply and before your makeup. Wait about 10 to 30 minutes for your sunscreen to dry, before you apply makeup as well. Yes, it may be a pain to wait at first, but get into the habit. Make your bed and get dressed while you are waiting for it to dry.
Apply the right amount of sunscreen in order to get adequate protection. The sunscreen may say it has an SPF of 30, but you will not get that protection if you are not applying the proper amount. Apply ¼ teaspoon to your face and a ¼ teaspoon to your neck. Apply some to your hands as well to fight those age spots. Try not to blend it too much either, try to pat it in. The less blending the better. You don’t need a separate eye sunscreen either, the one you use on your face is fine, unless it irritates your eyes. I wear a baby sunscreen under my eyes, which does not burn my eyes at all. And then I wear a different sunscreen for my face. So you may need to buy two of the best anti wrinkle creams out there, but they are worth it!
So don’t forget to apply the best anti aging wrinkle cream every day, that is sunscreen. The sun’s uva rays make you age and you need sunscreen to age as gracefully as possible. Apply ¼ teaspoon to your face and another to your neck, and then smile because you know you are getting the recommended protection. Remember, to apply it every day rain or shine, because the sun’s rays penetrates through the clouds and windows. Now you are ready to find the best anti wrinkle cream for you.
