Every young girl cares about having beautiful, smooth, flawless skin.
To that end they are vigilant in applying anti-acne treatments, smoothing creams, facial toners, moisturizers, lotions, and more.
And yet most young women (and men, too) fail to protect themselves from the greatest skin danger of all: the ultraviolet rays of the sun.
They will not see the immediate effects of this, but if they have done nothing to protect themselves from UV light, by the time they reach 30 their skin will have aged a lot faster than normal! It is essential for young women to start saving their skin from premature aging while they are in their teens.
It's really not that difficult to keep your skin from aging.
All you have to do is get a good sunscreen and use it everyday.
It doesn't matter what the weather is like or how many clouds are in the sky.
UV rays are invisible to the human eye and they can come in through the clouds above.
You need protection whenever you go out during the day.
Make applying sunscreen a daily habit.
However, take care to choose a sunscreen that is truly effective.
There are different types of UV rays.
A number of sunscreens only provide protection against UVB radiation.
You need to get a sunscreen that can protect you from both UVA and UVB rays, especially since UVA radiation is the type that is most responsible for triggering premature skin aging.
Check the product information on the sunscreen bottle to see whether it has UVA protection.
Or look in the ingredients for the presence of UVA-filtering compounds such as zinc oxide, titanium oxide, and octocrylene.
The most effective UVA-filtering compound, however, is Mexoryl.
Many US dermatologists recommend the daily use of sunscreens containing Mexoryl in order to keep your skin looking youthful and fresh as long as possible.
