Why is it necessary to use SPF all year long?
Many factors contribute to the aging process (photoaging) including stress, genetics, pollution, and smoking to name a few, however, the sun is the number one culprit. To give you a good example of what sun damage can do, consider the skin on your behind. Unless you live in a nudist colony, the skin on your behind doesn’t see the light of day. Compare that to your exposed skin and there you have it. UVA rays are present 365 days a year and are what cause free radical damage. Free radical damage in a nutshell is the destruction of cells. UVA rays go through glass, clouds, computers, and flouresant lighting. Chances are if you do have sun damage and age spots (hyperpigmentation), they’re more prevalent on the left side of your face – from driving your car! This is why it’s so important to use sun protection on a daily basis – 365 days a year. To understand the difference between UVA and UVB radiation is very important. UVB rays are the burning rays that cause the skin to burn. The color that’s produced (a sunburn or a tan) is actually our skin’s defense mechanism against the damage caused by UVB rays. A good way to remember:
UVA = Aging
UVB = Burning
The best and most technically advanced way to prevent and correct photoaging is through the daily use of an SPF 30, and the daily use of a strong anti-oxidant. Strong anti-oxidants include Green Tea and Vitamin E – proven best to date. Look for a formula that contains both and you will be doing the single, most effective thing you can do to combat aging. NCN Professional SkinCare offers a daily SPF 30 that contains both Green Tea and Vitamin E PLUS Argerline (the Botox alternative), Retinol and Alpha Lipoic Acid. It’s the strongest anti-aging sun protection available.
