With the sunshine comes....

tIts summer time and most people cant wait to enjoy basking in the sun however did you know that the sun can cause fine lines and wrinkles?

Many people incorrectly assume dry skin leads to wrinkles and that moisturizers can prevent them. Not true. Research shows 90 percent of wrinkles are caused by the sun's UVA light and sun damage is the #1 cause of premature aging in women and men.

Why are UVA rays so bad? Even at low-level exposures, UVA light breaks down collagen, which causes wrinkles. Even worse, scientists have found that UVA is the main culprit for many melanomas because it reaches deep into the underlying support structure of the skin.

Try this lightweight dry-touch sunscreen from Neutrogena's Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock.
This product retails for approx $15.99 in Canada but is well worth it.
This sunblock should be applied after your moisturizer and be given a few minutes to settle into the skin before applying makeup.
It goes on lightly, doesn't turn an oily face into a greasepit and best yet, it won't cast "ghost glow," the annoying white cast that some sunblocks give.

Neutrogena's products are now made with Helioplex, which, like Mexoryl, offers ultra protection from the sun's UVA rays. Most sunscreens on the market only offer protection from UVB rays, but it's the UVA rays that can wreak havoc deep within the epidermis and causing some bad skin cancers.

Whatever product you choose a facial sunblock used daily even when cloudy is essential in the fight against fine lines so go do your research and testing to figure out which sunblock works for you.
