May is skin cancer awareness month. While you love the up-coming summer months, your skin hates June, July and August. It's beginning to break out just at the thought of maximum sun exposure.
That is, unless you treat it nicely before, during and after exposing it to it's worst enemy, the sun. So be good to your skin. You will be rewarded with a glorious healthy glow instead of wrinkles, sunspots, premature ageing, heat rash, clogged pores or acne breakouts, or worse.
If you're not one to steer clear of the sun altogether, or fake it, then here are a few tips for your face:
Protection is the name of the game. And if you haven't done it up till now, it's never too late to start, no matter what your age.
If you see past damage, there are treatments out there to lighten both skin pigment and age spots. They can reduce redness and inflammation. And they really work.
Popular today are also tablets that provide extra sunguard from the inside out. These tablets are taken internally, and are rich in antioxidants. Some of these supplements claim to boost the SPF of sun care products, which would definitely make them a worthwhile buy. It's worth asking your dermatologist about them.
