So we’ve all heard of sunscreen and suncare and we religiously use them when we are out in the sun – but what about after sun care? what is after sun care i asked the girl at Lancome counter – so she explained after whipping out her Acer Aspire and showing me the diagram of what the after sun care will do for one’s skin. You see the After Sun Care from Lancome is supposedly to have a skincare formula to help fight against premature ageing and to reinforce the skin’s natural defences after the sun. Created specially for the face – the rich lotion, can give your skin the freshness and soothing sensation and rehydrate your skin after the sun. It cost like $34 but i think it is worth it. What about you ?
A lot of people thinks that since it is winter, you don’t need to put on your sun screen. Well, you cannot be more wrong for even during winter, you need your sunscreen everyday … and you not just when the sun is out.. but even when the sun is not out. As long as you are walking out the door, the sunscreen goes on for me. Don’t let the cold weather fool you now… because the harmful UV rays can damage your skin all year round. In fact, I hear that the reflective snow and ice can actually make it even worst for your skin. So make sure you protect your skin with daily moisturizer and those that contains sunscreen. I use this Dermalogica Dyanmic Skin SPF 30 and it is like $78.
Being a mother one is of course more concerned about what you put on your kids skin than our own. And with the summer here.. the higher the SPF .. the better it is. And don’t forget to look out for the expiry date of these things.. because once it expires.. it doesn’t work as good anymore. The ingredient inside the sunblock is broken down.. and it is no longer effective. Banana Boat for Kids is recognized by the Canadian Dermatology Association… and recommended. You and i wouldn’t wanna get anything less for our kids .. and that’s for sure eh. At $10.49 .. definitely must buy NOW..!
One of the best suntanning I had ever gotten was from going to Caribbean cruises, leaving everything behind.. and just frolicking in the sun. All those suntanning beds i had used before is nothing compared to a week on these cruises. It really gives you a healthy glow, try it sometime.
Summer is harsh on the skin and it’s just as bad as the winter when it is cold. Slapping the skin with lots of sun block is not enough. My girlfriend who went to the Outer Banks for her vacation last year.. spent so much time on the beach, her skin was so dehydrated .. that no amount of facial could help. It took her one whole year. .before her skin went back to almost normal. This year.. i think she will be alot smarter. So if you are going out to the beach alot this summer.. make sure.. you use moisturizing cream too.. when you get back from the beach.
