Something is better than nothing but, when you are talking about your face, it isn't good enough. You change your wardrobe with the seasons, don't you? Or do you plan to keep wearing your parka when the thermometer hits 80 degrees?
"It isn't the heat, it's the humidity." Does the weather make you sweat? That's your skin responding to your environment, trying to cool you down. A winter weight moisturizer is only going to make it more difficult for the cells to do their job. (Check out oil-free moisturizers - essential for oily skin).
Variations in temperature, dry air, wind, elevated stress levels, your medications - all affect your appearance as well as your general bodily health. Bizarre weather events make rapidly changing demands on your skin. Be prepared for quick adjustments to your skin care program in response.
Begin by observing the subtle changes in your skin. There is more than a cosmetic reason for doing this. Your skin reflects conditions changing inside you, a sort of Early Warning System that reveals a lot once you start paying attention to it. That dull texture, for example. What is that trying to tell you?
Some conditions are not going to be subtle. A sudden itchy rash is obvious, visible evidence of something out of balance somewhere. (This is an issue to take to your medical adviser ASAP.)
You never get a sunburn, you say? Did it ever occur to you that your handsome bronze tan is really evidence of sun damage? And to think you did it on purpose! Tanning is your skin's attempt at protecting you from a full-scale burn.
You've heard plenty about how dangerous the rays of the sun can be. Do you shrug it off? Here's an excellent reason for sitting up and paying attention: Those UV rays are one of the most notorious aging factors you'll ever encounter.
That's what the cell researchers report from years of peering into their microscopes. You may not like that news, but that's how nature works.
Do you think nature cares what you think? Besides, you are the one who is going to suffer. You are the one developing brown spots, more and deeper wrinkles, loss of tone and color... and other unwelcome signs of Senior Citizen Skin.
The classic signs of aging are showing up years earlier than they used to, according to researchers, and adding as much as 15 years to your appearance. How do you like the idea that you look more than a decade older than your birth certificate says you are?
The fastest and easiest way to counter the aging effect of UV rays is to get the best sun protection you can find. Ideally, it should contain zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide, natural shielding ingredients, rather than chemical SPFs. Use something, at least. Use it all year, in every season - just to be on the safe side when you are outside.
Going beyond seasonal sun and wind care... Your face needs protection 'round the clock. Unfriendly elements in your personal environment are at work 24/7, attacking your face even as you sleep.
Re-think your approach to facial care. Discover the benefits of gentle cleansing, 5-minute gel masks, appropriate moisturizers and the importance of protective ingredients. Above all, learn to adjust your skin care program to give you the best protection possible from hostile elements in your world.
A little extra care is all it takes to implement a skin care routine to keep your skin healthy. But that's not all-- Here's your bonus: you will look better, too!
