Reasons For Using SPF Sunscreen to Protect Your Face With reports that the UK is could see the hottest summer on record, it is likely that whether home or abroad, many will be basking in the sunshine this summer. Sadly, a failure to understand that even on cloudy days our skin could exposed to dangerous UV rays means many will be left with permanent sun damaged skin and premature ageing, warns award-winning cosmetic expert Dr Ravi Jain."It's not just the strength of the midday sun that damages your skin, any sun or daylight can have a detrimental effect on your skin and you'd be surprised at how little exposure you need to cause permanent sun damage," explains Dr Jain, Medical Director of Riverbanks Clinic www.riverbanksclinic.co.uk Most of us are aware of rules such as staying out of the sun between 11am and 3pm when the sun's rays, wear high protection sun cream, light clothing to cover the skin and to wear sunglasses to protect our eyes. It is also common knowledge that many fail to listen to any of these rules and will almost certainly experience sunburn at some point this year! But what if you knew that this exposure could actually affect your appearance? According to Dr Jain, sun damage doesn't only increase the risk of skin cancer, it also produces many unsightly skin problems that will reduce your self confidence and cause your skin to be permanently marked. 9 Signs of Sun-Induced Skin Damage 1. Sun spots, freckles and brown spots- these are most commonly found on the upper body, appearing on the face, neck, chest, the forearms and the hands. These spots can be unsightly, but can fairly easily be removed with the correct cosmetic treatment. Some home treatments are available, but they are less than reliable and may cause more harm than good. 2. Uneven skin colour or dark spots- confidence sapping skin colouring might seem like damage that can't be undone, but these days they can be treated with a safe non-invasive course of IPL. 3. Explosion of Freckles- Okay, I'm not talking about a few freckles, but excessive clusters of highly visible embarrassing freckles that cover the skin and make you feel very self-conscious. IPL laser treatment would be exceptionally useful to fight this as it not only removes the brown spots but also stimulates collagen growth. 4. Age Spots- these are also known as Liver spots and are generally found on the backs of the hands. A qualified cosmetic physician would offer a number of ways that these can be reduced or removed, usually with IPL or fraction lasers. 5. Rosacea- This can be a very embarrassing condition that is comprised of prominent redness, veins in the face showing and often spots or pimples long after adolescence. An IPL/laser treatment will greatly reduce the veins and the flushing that is caused by exercise, hot food or heat. 6. Wrinkles- The sun can easily cause wrinkles or make existing wrinkles worse. There are many ways to approach the reduction of wrinkles, there are many skin creams available from pharmacists, but most are purely superficial and do little to help. A professional cosmetic physician can offer you a range of collagen boosting options from Botox and dermal fillers to resurfacing laser treatment and other complementary cosmeceutical skin care programmes. 7. Broken capillaries- often giving the face a ruddy complexion, associated with alcoholism, very embarrassing, particularly for women. Speak to your cosmetic specialist for ways to treat this problem, usually with ND:YAG laser or IPL . 8. Enlarged pore size- many people don't think about how the sun can widen and enlarge the pores in your skin, giving a quite unsightly appearance to the skin, a little like an orange peel. Your cosmetic physician would almost certainly offer you an excellent range of treatments including laser skin resurfacing to bring a youthful look back to your skin. 9. Sagging skin- after the sun has damaged your skin, you may find that it causes your lifeless skin to sag. This is common in people as they hit their 30s but is more often found in people of middle age. With a non-surgical, non-invasive cosmetic treatment, you can improve the tautness of the skin and give it a rejuvenated appearance. Dr Jain says "If you just stick to one thing this year then make sure you are wearing your SPF30 every day and of course it isn't just your face that catches those rays, don't forget your body too." |
