sunscreen is necessary in your everyday beauty routine. UV rays over a prolonged period of time will damage fibers in the skin causing elastin break down creating wrinkles, aging, sun-spots, discoloration, and even cancer. Most of us don’t realize driving and even walking to your car from the grocery store on a cloudy day can leave you
exposed.
Wear sunscreen everyday.
Apply at least 15- 20 minutes before you go outside. Wear sunscreen with minimum of 30 to 50 SPF.
Don’t forget arms, chest, ears and neck.
If you are outside for a prolonged period of time, grab the highest SPF sunscreen and reapply every two hours.
Make sunscreen a part of your beauty routine – SPF in lotions and face moisturizers.

Always have a doctor look at weird shaped and transforming moles, freckles, and dark spots.
Check your sunscreen bottles regularly to make sure they haven’t gone bad. Temperature changes like the heat from sitting in your car can cause a chemical reaction and break down your SPF making it less potent (this goes for lotions and makeup as well). The best way to check is by shaking the bottle to see if it has a watery consistency compared to the once thick sunscreen it started off as. Also, check with your doctor if your sunscreen or lotions are giving your skin any unusual reactions.
