Sunscreen is an essential product for our skin. Every single day, no matter what day, what season, what month, we MUST apply sunscreen.
Getting teenagers to understand the importance of using sunscreen is key and they will be thankful later in life after years of sun protection.
A common skin myth about sun exposure:
A common myth is out there: UV rays clear up breakouts and oily shine.
In reality, breakouts and oil can worsen from too much sun exposure. The skin’s barrier becomes compromised, which leads to dehydrated, thirsty skin.
When skin lacks moisture, it responds by producing more oil, plus our skin’s natural shedding process slows, creating a build-up in the pores. So, the real impact of UV exposure is more oil and greater potential for breakouts. Plus, UV rays darken and prolong the marks on the skin left behind from breakouts.
Have you considered the impact of pollution on your skin?
We now know that UV’s not the only environmental element that can increase breakouts, and oil-pollution is also on the radar!
We’re learning more and more about the impact of pollution on our health, including its impact on our skin. Just because we can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there.
Often pollution particles are so small they can enter our pores and cause blockages. Adding to that, research has shown that people living in more polluted areas have higher levels of sebum than those living in less polluted areas.
The role of makeup in increasing breakouts!
And if these environmental aggressors weren’t enough, make-up, which is often used to disguise breakouts, can be a driver of congested skin.
Unfortunately, in our fast-paced lifestyles, it’s easy to neglect our skincare routine. Either we are going to sleep with our make-up on or using face wipes to remove make-up, which doesn’t quite cut it. The result? Tiny bumps or whiteheads on the cheeks, chin, lips and forehead.
Damage + shine control all in one!
