Don't Forget The Sunscreen!
With Summer quickly approaching we are all anxious to spend as much time as possible outside. Whether we're at the beach, the baseball park, at the local pool, or just simply doing yard work we must ALWAYS remember to use sunscreen!
It's a simple task, just apply 15 minutes before going outside then your ready to enjoy the day. It may seem like something of no concern, but skin cancer is NOT to be taken lightly. I have had 3 moles removed that were not precancerous, but the dermatologist felt "could possibly turn into something serious in the future". Well enough said, I had them surgically removed and let me tell you it's no picnic.
I thought it would be no big deal, they were small moles nothing to worry about. When they take them out they remove a lot of tissue, not just the area that is the mole. Depending on the location of the body the doctor goes through several layers of tissue to remove the entire "core" area. Sort of like having a wart removed. They also go out a couple of inches around the diameter of the mole. Needless to say I have some lovely scars. But a scar is far better than cancer.
So please use sunscreen as much as possible. It doesn't even have to be that sunny to get burned. The higher the SPF the better. I've been using a 50 SPF lately and believe it or not I still get a nice tan, just without that horrible sunburn.
Have a great summer and protect that skin!

An Acne Free You
Acne is a problem that many people have to deal with. Acne does not discriminate; it doesn’t care whether you are male, female, a teen, or a middle-aged person. Babies even get a form of acne when they are freeing their systems of their mother’s hormones. Acne is a problem, but it can be one that is an easy fix.
First you must know some things that trigger your outbreaks:
Is it the types of food you are eating? Try to avoid foods that have caused breakouts in the past. Drink plenty of water to help detoxify your skin.
Do you wear oil-based makeup or sunscreen? Only use products that are oil free, this will help keep the pores free of excess oil that will clog the pores and cause blackheads and acne.
Is your hair oily and constantly in your face? Keep your hair clean and out of your face; try keeping the bangs off of the forehead.
While sitting at your desk do you rest your head on your hands? This can lead to breakouts by introducing more oil and dirt to the skin. Keep hands clean to avoid adding more dirt and oil to the face.
Develop a good skin care regime and stick to it. You should cleanse, exfoliate, tone, and moisturize daily. Find products that contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to kill the bacteria on the skin’s surface.
Once the skin is clean use a scrub to remove dead skin cells and open up the pores. A toner will return the skin to its natural pH level and a good oil free moisturizer will keep the skin supple. Over-drying of the skin will result in the production of more oil, so don’t skip this step.
For spot treatments use products that are targeted for this. There are many wonderful products available OTC and you don’t have to spend a lot to get great results. Just follow the simple steps of a daily skin care regime, avoid oily products, and try not to touch your face, keep your hair clean, and never go to bed with your makeup on.
Go ahead and put you best face forward! Here’s to an acne free you!
