WHY YOU SHOULD BE PROTECTING YOUR SKIN

How well are you looking after your skin?

Did you know, that you should use a form of protection on your skin every single day? - Yes, I know we are coming up to the Summer months, so it might be now that you are thinking of getting your SPF out the back of the drawer. But… really, you need to be applying a protective layer over your skin every day throughout the year.

Rain or shine, our skin can be damaged by harmful environmental factors. Ultraviolet radiation, a main one, is with us everyday, which is why it is so important to be applying an SPF. There are so many easy ways to protect your skin, without even thinking about it. Today, we are going to be sharing some of these useful hints and tips with you.

Why Does Your Skin Need Protection?

Ever heard of the phrase, “Skin like leather”?

If you haven’t… it’s pretty obvious.

“Leather Skin” has been used to describe skin that looks damaged, either too thin or too thik and has a sagging appearance to it. - If this isn’t the skin goal that you’re after, then keep reading…

In this blog, you’ll hear us bang on about wearing protection daily. We repeat it so much, because it’s true. Without protection, you’re allowing harmful factors to damage your skin, altering it’s nature, function, appearance and texture. AND, it’s never too late to start. Protect your skin everyday, from today. It’s easy.

No matter the skin colour or skin tone, you need to be applying an SPF. Even during the cloudy, dull and dark days, UV Rays can pass through and cause damage to your skin. The damage that can be caused to your skin can be threatening to your health. UV Rays can cause Skin Cancer, Pigmentation and Increased Signs Of Ageing.

So, when you’re thinking of building that deep summer tan, remember that you are probably doing more damage than is worth.

A tan is a scar. - Now, you may wonder why I refer to it as this. But, it’s because every time your skin becomes tanned, you’re creating changes to your skin that could impact you in the future.

LET’S GET SCIENC-Y…

Pigmentation - The UV rays that you use to get that lovely, bronzed summer glow, actually trigger melanocytes in your skin. (Melanocytes are the cells that make you look tanned.) Once triggered by the sun, they start producing pigment, which yes, at first, might look great, but overtime can cause damage. The more you expose yourself to the sun, the more melanin produced by these cells. Overproduction of melanin can lead to pigmentation in the skin. It can cause age spots, uneven skin tone and freckles. (yes - freckles are signs of pigmentation.)

Skin Cancer - With it being everywhere, you should know by now that exposure to UV rays increases your chance of developing Skin Cancer. You might of heard it being called Melanoma. Melanoma is caused when your skin cells begin to develop abnormally. UV Rays are what will cause your cells to do this. Reduce your chances of developing skin cancer by applying SPF daily.

Increased Signs of Ageing - We often refer to it as Photoaging of the skin. This is damage caused by UV rays. The damage will create your skin to look dull, leathery, thick, uneven and an increase in the appearance of lines and wrinkles. This is caused by the breakdown of collagen and elastin in your skin, resulting in a more “droopy and sagged” appearance.
