Healthy Summer Skin



since we are literally burning in Dubai i thought i should say something about how to avoid the horrible sun damage in this weather. Most sun experts say that the sun is the worst skin enemy and actually 80% of the singes people mistake as aging its actually sun damage . but what is the right way to avoid sun damage ??!!

A little dab won't do you. You want to shield yourself from the sun, but how much sunscreen is enough? "Think of those small paper cups used for holding ketchup at fast-food restaurants," says Atlanta-based skincare specialist Alison O'Neil Andrew, B.S., M.E., A.R.S., president of Health Aesthetic Consultants. "That's the amount of sunscreen that should be used." Rub on 30 minutes before sun exposure and again every 90 minutes. Even water-resistant sunscreens can be rubbed away when toweling off after a swim, so be sure to reapply.
