My son always had a saying when he played sports….if you look good you play good. Reflecting back on that, I think that while he said it because he wanted a new Under Armour Shirt, it had a deeper meaning for me. 

I love to help people protect their skin and by doing so, their outside looks good.  There are a number of ways to protect your skin: sunscreen, cosmetic products, protective clothing including hats, and tinting your car windows, allows you to enjoy  the morning , afternoon and early evening sun without damaging your skin.

Do you know the proper ways to repair and protect your skin?

Lets talk about sunscreens, there are a ton on the market,  so how do you know if yours is worthy of putting on your skin? 

Here are some tips;

• Is it approved by the Cancer Foundation?
• Does it contain UVA (aging rays) AND UVB (Burning rays) protection?
• Do you wear it everyday at least on your Face….no matter what (not just to the beach/pool)?
• Does it feel greasy…(hint: sunscreen should not feel greasy, it should absorb right into skin)?

Sunscreen should be worn everyday at least on your face to protect against skin cancer, sun spots and wrinkles. Both men and women should wear sunscreen on a daily basis at least on their face, and everyone should put sunscreen on every part of exposed skin, when they know they will be in the sun for long periods of time.
