We all know that our body has it own defense mechanism but when it comes to our skin healthiness and wealthiness , still is not enough to be an excuse in having possible skin cancer. Especially these days with a wavering climate change, the prolonged exposure to the sun during outdoor task makes a big hazard on our skin.

Signs of aging also start to emerge, fine lines, red blotches and skin tone discoloration.

And before it’s too late, the best way to prevent the occurrence of sun damages brought by these UV radiations is by getting into a habit of applying a daily moisturizer.

Slather it every as often as part of your daily beauty regimen whether staying indoors. However, the best time to cover up most is during period of time with extensive sun exposure. Higher SPF or a broad spectrum is needed for better shield.


Exposure in the streaming rays of fluorescent lights also affects skin. The substance illuminated by it has an ultraviolet that also penetrates deep down on skin. And so does in during humid days.

Wearing a tinted shades also defense your eyes from the sun against stinging and burning. It is also important to pay attention to the clothes we are wearing.

Vitamin E and C mineral supplements are also an effective skin buster. It replenish and repair the damage cells brought by the sun. 



Anyway, there are products now available in the market with certain sunscreens protection that suited to rescue any type of skin without greasy feel, water based and oil free. And the good thing some of it has now a whitening effect for a more glamorous skin.

But for mostly men taking an effort using those skin products seems a bit fussy and unmanly. And these attitudes brought them to a risk of getting have higher rates of skin cancer than women .
