With Summer Fun Comes Unwanted Risks
Another summer is quickly approaching, but all the fun poolside days and time spent outside soaking up the summer sun comes with a risk: sun damage and skin cancer. We all want that healthy, sun-kissed glow, but it is so important to put your health first and realize that over exposure to UV rays is dangerous. Even if you’re not getting your tan on outside, you may be achieving that bronzed look by hitting the tanning beds.
According to the American Cancer Foundation, tanning beds are a $5 million a year industry. Unfortunately, it’s an industry that is making a huge profit at the expense of your skin, and in some cases, your life. Did you know that if you use a tanning bed before the age of 35, you are increasing your risk of melanoma by 75%? Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer, and just by using a tanning bed one time, you are playing a dangerous game with your health.
Preventing Sun Damage and Skin Cancer
Being healthy and happy is always more beautiful than damaging your skin just to achieve a tan look. Always wear and reapply sunscreen whenever you will be exposed to the sun for more than a few minutes. By adding this simple step to your daily beauty routine, you are not only protecting your health, but also ensuring that your skin will age well and that you will avoid those pesky wrinkles for as long as possible.
Healthy Makeup
Your choice of makeup can also have a huge effect on your skin’s health. At Summit Skin & Vein Care, we proudly showcase our collection of Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup. Jane’s products are healthy for your skin. They are made from 100% minerals, and are paraben free.
