Here’s a great New Year’s resolution for your skin! Put on a complete sunscreen product every morning whether you are planning to go out or not. It will help protect your skin from dry, forced air heating and the year round UVA radiation received through window glass. Sunscreens and sun avoidance are always listed as the number one thing you can do to slow down the undesirable “gifts” from the birthday fairy, whether they are wrinkles or skin cancers.
Effective sunscreens come in various types so if you have oily skin, are a heavy sweater, have sensitive eyes, hate the feel of something on your skin (you know your excuse); there will be something you can use. One of the new favorites is a powder form of zinc oxide which can be dusted on even after the first 9 holes of golf. Talk about easy and convenient for the every two hour application, just grab it out of the golf bag, purse or fanny pack and dust it on.
Another very important resolution is to check your skin for any spots that are new and or growing. Check out the skin of your family and friends. Too many of us, who grew up in the “sun bunny” generations, are paying the price now. We are also adding in younger people with tanning booth exposure.
At CDLC, we are very happy to help you find a sun screen that you will love and use regularly.
PS: Be sure to check the expiration date on your products.
