How damaging the sun really is, and why you dummies need to stop being so lazy and slather that sunscreen on PRONTO!! Breaking down the science and making it a little easier to digest for you. Love y’all!!

NOTE:
Stay out of the sun when it’s rays are the most harmful, like around noon. Early morning sun and late afternoon sun (5:00 and after) is great for the body to produce vitamin D!

Q: Is it true that the rays can only penetrate the outermost layer of sunscreen on your face? E.g. If I wear SPF 50 and then put on an SPF 10 foundation on top of it, will the sun’s rays stop at the foundation layer? Haha because this is what a skincare sales lady told me and I thought it sounded like a load of bull crap!
A: First of all, that b*tch is an idiot and probably didn’t even know what she was talking about, because if she DID?? She would have been a bit more passionate about the sunscreen portion and not about the makeup portion. You can’t ADD UP SPF numbers like that to equal a STRONGER sunscreen. The SPF in your MAKEUP only protects against B-Rays! So things like sunburn, rashes, blahblahblah. If your makeup doesn’t specifically state that it protects against UVA as well (which it most likely doesn’t)?? Then it doesn’t!! And the UVA rays will still go deep into your skin and shrivel you up like a prune! Makeup with SPF in it is NOT a proper substitute for UVA/UVB sunscreen.

Q: i’m 12, do i have to use sunscreen when i go out, or do i have to worry about wrinkles? because i don’t want to get Wrinkles, but i’m still pretty young, i mean i have acne, so i think i’m young.
A: At 12 years old, your skin cells are still doing pretty great at dividing, protecting itself, etc. But it’s STILL being attacked by UV rays at the same time and SLOWLY killing your cells. If you want to stay youthful looking LONGER and SLOW DOWN THE AGING PROCESS DRAMATICALLY, you should be using sunscreen! But if you want to get old-looking super fast and look back on these days as the best you’ve ever looked, then go ahead and go without it. Lol. But also, if you have acne, remember to take care of your skin! Don’t just use sunscreen. Always cleanse it!

Q: I NEVER go into the sun, i mean EVER. my mom looks like a teenager still! People think she’s 17 and my sister hahaa. Another thing, my type of skin is combo. i use cetaphil moisturizer but it has NO spf, what should I do? What other moisturizers would work for me? I LOVE cetaphil though too. I get dry patches easily when I dont use it. Thanks for doing this! It helped out a lot!
A: You can do one of two things! 1.) Apply cetaphil moisturizer so it sinks into your skin, and THEN apply sunscreen over that (which is fine, and what people do normally anyways). Or 2.) Get a new moisturizer + sunscreen combination! Olay Regenerist UV Defense Regenerating Lotion SPF15 is a good choice. Amaaazing stuff. And if you don’t like that, just stick to Cetaphil and just grab a sunscreen to put over it real quick!

Q: So does that mean I shouldn’t go tanning?
A: TANNING IS THE F*CKING WORST FOR YOU!! Bed tanning for ten minutes = a FULL DAY IN THE SUN. And you’re only supposed to get FIFTEEN minutes of sun exposure. Instead, you’re getting 1440 minutes of sun exposure!! WTF OVERKILL. That’s 96x the amount you actually need!! Ahahahahahahhaa insane. Get sunlass tanning gel! Clarins Tanning Gel is much safer, and the tan is gorgeous.

A basic video consisting of products that I use to maintain my fairly clear complexion. As I have mentioned my skin type if dry to very dry and it is highly sensitive. Also, I tend to suffer from hives that are caused by food allergies, extremely hot temperatures and immense amount of stress. Other than that, I hope you use your judgement in determining if these products will work for your specific skin type.

Remember that not everyone has perfect skin — I must admit even my skin is not worthy of perfection. I still suffer from sun damage, unsightly freckles and blemishes. So, do not fret too much about the overall appearance of your skin — everyone is self-conscious about one thing or another.

Though, if your case is serious (especially if you still have acne beyond your 20s), then I recommend seeing a professional about your complexion. If left untreated it can become malignant like cancer and the possibility of recovering from such a trauma will be more difficult as you age.

A basic overview of how your skin ages (i.e. UV damage, free radicals) and how to prevent premature aging… and why you may be spending too much on moisturizers. Obviously we all will age and Wrinkles will develop at some point no matter what we do, but if we take care and protect our skin, this process may be put off a bit longer.

Excuse the terrible lighting. It was pretty late, so I had to use all indoor lighting.
