The sun can permanently debilitate the skin unless we take the proper precautions such as: avoiding prolonged exposure, wearing protective clothing, and most importantly selecting and applying an appropriate sunscreen or sunblock.

Essential Skin Protection and Prevention
    Few of nature’s elements conspire more harshly against beautiful healthy skin than that old sun which beats down on us in southeast Louisiana most of the year.
    However, that sun can permanently debilitate the skin unless we take the proper precautions such as:

 

  • Avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun especially between 10 a.m. and 2 pm, and most especially during the summer.
  • Wearing protective clothing such as wide brimmed hats and long sleeves if you plan to be outdoors for extended periods of time.
  • Most importantly, always select a sunblock lotion or cream which will afford your skin its most protection. Always opt for a sunscreen with a sun pro-tection factor (SPF) of at least 15. Nothing less will do.
  • Also, read labels.

The difference between a true sunblock and a mere “sunscreen” are the ingredients zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. If these two ingredients are not included, your protection will be minimal.

Melissa of Beautix says, "Dr. Massiha has created Total Sun Protection to provide to excellent protection from the sun.  It does not have the harsh chemicals and fragrances that are contained in many sunscreens.  In fact, it is so gentle, it may be used on infants.  It is not thick and heavy like many sunblocks, so it wears comfortably under make up.    It also does not clog you pores so it works as well on acne-prone skin as normal/dry skin.  Just remember, regardless of what product you use, you should reapply often while in direct sunlight and even more often during water activities or ones that cause perspiration."
