Sun Protection
Our recommendation this month is to learn all about sun protection and SPF, its benefits to maintaining skin care and skin health.
We often hear “What is the best SPF?” The answer: “The one you’re going to wear”
“Dermatologists would agree that sunscreen is the mostimportant part of your skin care regimen. The #1 cause of wrinkles is sun damage, so it’s important to use sunscreen from your early years on, even in winter and on cloudy days. A great trick is to have two moisturizers; one for day that includes UV protection and one for night. Additionally, according to the Canadian Skin Cancer Foundation, one in every three cancers diagnosed worldwide is skin cancer, 80-90% of which are caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Over 80,000 cases of skin cancer are diagnosed in Canada each year, more than 5,000 of these are melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer.” – Dermalogica Skin Care
