This skin product for men is in high use during the summer months but seems to drop off during the cooler months; it's Sunscreen.
We forget that the sun is still harmful during the cooler months and on overcast days. It's also still harmful through the bus or car windows, and even while flying — especially if sitting next to the window. We are constantly being exposed to UV rays.
Next time you are looking in the mirror, just take a closer look at your face, does the right side (drivers side in Australia) have more sun spots than the left?
We want to protect our skin from skin cancer, but also from all the other damage the UV rays can do.
Yes, the sun is a major factor in skin aging. It's often considered the number one cause of premature aging, particularly visible signs like wrinkles and age spots. Studies indicate that up to 90% of visible skin aging can be attributed to sun damage. This damage occurs because the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays break down collagen and elastin. They are proteins that keep skin firm and elastic, and can trigger the production of melanin, leading to dark spots.
The best way to remember to wear sunscreen daily is to find a moisturiser with sunscreen in it. Each morning, get into the habit of applying this skin product for men (a moisturiser with SPF). You can even wipe the excess on the tops of your hands. Remember to reapply.
