Wear SPF!!!



Did you know that when it comes to aging, sun exposure is the #1 biggest factor?  It affects our skin more than drinking, or smoking or lack of sleep.  Most of the damage to your skin was done before the age of 18.  Here is a scary photo of a lady in a woods lamp.




These lamps are designed to show us the sun damage on our skin.  You may not see all that damage, but it is there lurking..waiting to come out as age spots as you get older.  We had one of these lamps at the aesthetics school I went to and when I saw my face it looked just like this ladies face on the right.  Scary!!  Ive also already had skin cancer removed from my left temple.

You should wear SPF every single day.  I use a moisturizer with SPF 15.  My foundation has SPF 25.  That is for normal days.  If Im going to be outside hiking or at a game or anything else, I lather on SPF 30.  Also, be sure you get the SPF in your ears!  Ears are a part that usually get neglected when putting on sunscreen so dont forget your ears!
