"Defy aging."
"Tone and firm sagging skin."
"Restore your skin's own wrinkle control."
Americans spend billions of dollars each year on skin care
products that promise to erase wrinkles, lighten age spots, and
eliminate itching, flaking, or redness. But the simplest and
cheapest way to keep your skin healthy and young looking is to
stay out of the sun.
Sunlight is a major cause of the skin changes we think of as
aging — changes such as wrinkles, dryness, and age spots. Your
skin does change with age. For example, you sweat less, leading
to increased dryness. As your skin ages, it becomes thinner and
loses fat, so it looks less plump and smooth. Underlying
structures — veins and bones in particular — become more
prominent. Your skin can take longer to heal when injured.
You can delay these changes by staying out of the sun.
Although nothing can completely undo sun damage, the skin
sometimes can repair itself. So, it’s never too late to
protect yourself from the harmful effects of the sun.
Keep Your Skin Healthy
The best way to keep your skin healthy is to avoid sun
exposure.
-
Stay out of the sun. Avoid the sun between 10 a.m.
and 3 p.m. This is when the sun’s UV rays are strongest.
Don’t be fooled by cloudy skies. Harmful rays pass through
clouds. UV radiation also can pass through water, so don’t
assume you’re safe if you’re in the water and feeling
cool.
-
Use sunscreen. Sunscreens are rated in strength
according to a sun protection factor (SPF), which ranges
from 2 to 30 or higher. A higher number means longer
protection. Buy products with an SPF number of 15 or higher.
Also look for products whose label says: broad spectrum
(meaning they protect against both types of harmful sun rays
— UVA and UVB) and water resistant (meaning they stay on
your skin longer, even if you get wet or sweat a lot).
Remember to reapply the lotion as needed.
-
Wear protective clothing. A hat with a wide brim
shades your neck, ears, eyes, and head. Look for sunglasses
with a label saying the glasses block 99 to 100 percent of
the sun’s rays. Wear loose, lightweight, long-sleeved
shirts and long pants or long skirts when in the sun.
-
Avoid artificial tanning. Don’t use sunlamps and
tanning beds, as well as tanning pills and tanning makeup.
Tanning pills have a color additive that turns your skin
orange after you take them. The FDA has approved this color
additive for coloring foods but not for tanning the skin.
The large amount of color additive in tanning pills may be
harmful. Tanning make-up products are not suntan lotions and
will not protect your skin from the sun.
-
Check your skin often. Look for changes in the
size, shape, color, or feel of birthmarks, moles, and spots.
If you find any changes that worry you, see a doctor. The
American Academy of Dermatology suggests that older,
fair-skinned people have a yearly skin check by a doctor as
part of a regular physical exam.
