Summer is coming to an end, but that doesn't mean you can forget about taking care of your skin. Here are a few of our recommendations for keeping your skin young and flawless, this summer and for future summers.

2. While you head out to catch a
few rays on the beach, keep in
mind that the sun can damage
your skin, so proper protection
is the key. Though summmer’s
warm days just left us, it’s
always important to remember
these quick tips on how to keep
your skin protected!

3. Protect yourself while out
during the day. Even if it is
cloudy or overcast, UV rays
can still penetrate light clouds,
mist or fog. Use a water-
resistant sunscreen rated SPF
15 or higher, and make sure
it provides broad-spectrum
protection, which guards you
from both UVA and UVB rays.

Keep in mind that skin
damage can still happen
without sunburn, and that SPF
numbers are not necessarily
proportionate to the amount
of protection offered. For
example, a sunscreen with an
SPF of 15 deflects 93% of rays,
while SPF 30 deflects 97%,
according to the American
Academy of Dermatology
(AAD).

A great way to multitask your
skin management is to use a
moisturizer that contains an
SPF of at least 15, and apply
all over to any exposed skin.
Do not forget some often
overlooked areas like the ears,
the tops of your feet, the back
of the neck and the scalp. Be
sure to re-apply frequently.

Wearing tightly woven
clothing helps deflect UV
rays more effectively than
cotton T-shirts. The shirt’s label
should also indicate whether it
protects from UVs. Wear a hat
to protect yourself from the
sun’s harmful rays, and choose
one preferably with a wide
brim to shade your face.

Too much exposure to the sun
can also take its toll on your
eyes. UV radiation could lead
to cataracts, so don’t forget to
break out the shades.

8. While minimizing exposure to the
sun helps keep your skin looking
good, eating right can add to and
boost your already healthy regimen.

dose of green or black tea

prevents wrinkles and

cancer by up to 30 percent.

Spinach
this leafy green is also good
for reducing the risk of skin
cancer, according to an
Australian study. Spinach,
along with kale and other dark
greens, contains folic acid,
vitamins A, C and E, as well as
many other ingredients that
protect the skin from UV rays.

Beer
yes, you read that correctly.
Melatonin, a hormone found
in beer, helps control sleep
cycles. Beer also acts an
antioxidant, and serves as a
protector against UV damage.

effects of UV damage.

Don’t forgetWater – it is last on this list, but
certainly not the least. When skin
doesn’t get a sufficient amount of
water, it will tend to be dry, tight and
flaky. Dry skin has less resilience and
is more prone to wrinkling. Hydration
is the key to just about every healthy
aspect of your life and keeping your
skin healthy is no exception.
