May skincare awareness month..How to choose a good sunscreen





How to choose a good sunscreen you should look for: 
At least 30 % SPF the higher the better and stronger SPFmfor lighter skin
4% zinc oxide or titatinium dioxide which protects u from UVB
Since 2010 in USA, Mexoryl SX which protect u from UVA
A bio product (organic) for environment and hypoallergenic
 
the goal is to protect the skin from :
-cancer
-aging
-hyperpigmentation( brown spot). both UVB and UVA create hyperpigmentation within 1 to 24 hrs
-dehydration within 2 hrs
-loss of elasticity
 
Tips:
-Always use on whole face and Body, adults, kids and babies. 
-Do not forget the lips and get a spf lip balm. 
-For children you might want to choose tinted spf so u see where u miss a spot.
-Apply 20 mn before you go out, if you are outdoors, such as the beach reaply in 15 min. then every 2 hours after that, and of course reaply after water or towel.
-After sun exposure, you should take luke warm to cold shower or bath, and apply a good moisturizer, aloe it you have a burn. 
- If u are very light skin and prone to burn, ask your doctor for prescription for Biafine for burned spots only.
- PytoPlage sunscreen for the hair - protect your color - treat after sun exposure. -Daily use of topical Vit C will get ur skin stronger and healthier: such as Skinceuticals -C E Ferulic for normal to dry or -Phloretin for normal to oily which also treat hyperpigmentation.
