Ok, so a question I often ask people is ‘what is our biggest ager?’ Some know and some don’t, but it is hands down: the sun. Just take a look at a place, like say the back of your neck, that has seen the sun way less then your hands, lower arms, face or chest. You will notice that the skin that hasn’t seen much of the sun has way less spots, wrinkles and sagging. It’s a known fact. So, you can be using all kinds of great products to help your skin and then if you go out regularly into the sun, all the good effects of the products can be reversed.
With that, above all that I advise, I recommend using great sunblock every single day that you plan to leave your house. Why? Because even in your car, sun comes through the windows. I noticed at one point that I have more aging on the left side of my face and I am now sure that it is because of all the driving I’ve done in my life.
I have done a ton of research to find a strong effective sunblock that fits Hair Naturally’s mission statement of being as green and clean as possible, as effective as possible and as low priced as possible. And I’ve found it and use it every single day on my skin. On top of that, it does not make you look dried out and chalk white like some natural sunblocks do. I sell two versions of it in the shop. One, is just plain sunblock and I use it on my body when I am going to be outdoors, and even just on my hands and arms when I’m going to be driving. It is Thinksport Safe Sunscreen and you can buy it at a fantastic price right here and if you want a tinted version of the same great brand that blends and evens your skin tone beautifully for your face or hands click here
Lastly, always remember too to wear long sleeves, collars on your shirts, hats and sunglasses as these also will protect your skin from the aging effects of the sun. Some even wear gloves when driving to cut down on age spots on their hands. Of course, as health and beauty are often so intertwined, avoiding skin cancer is also a huge benefit of protecting your skin from the sun.
I’m a person who is not willing to give up my time outdoors as I enjoy nature so much. I’m also a person that has very fair skin, has sunburned much as kid, has had skin cancer and cares about my appearance. So, yes, I’m all in when it comes to sunblock and promote it regularly.
So, enjoy your life and enjoy good health practices.
Lots of love to you, my friends!
