HEALTHY SKIN STARTS WITH SUN PROTECTION!

You probably already wear a sunscreen when you're at the beach, by the pool or just walking around on a hot summer day -- but is it enough! How about working in the yard or maybe just walking to your car on a cloudy day.

The sun's rays do not escape you whether you are working near a window, driving to school or work in the morning.  What about just sitting under a tree at the park or in your yard.

Make sunscreen part of your daily routine.  Many sunscreens can be applied under makeup--or choose a daily moisturizer that includes sun protection.  Shaklee's SPF 30 lotion for the body does the job for you.  Can be worn under makeup or alone.

Common routines can add up to 20 hours of UV exposure each week so you definitely need to use a sunscreen.  Apply sunscreen before you go out in the sun--takes about 15 minutes for you skin to absorb the sunscreen.  Reapply often, especially after swimming, perspiring or using a towel.  Sunscreens should not be used to increase the time you spend in intense sunlight. 

The amount of sunscreen needed to cover the body (1 oz.) is about the size of a golf ball.  Studies show most people apply only 25% to 50 % of the recommended amount of sunscreen. Make sure you choose a high SPF that will cover you completely.

Happy sunny days!  Enjoy the activities that go along with summer just make sure you wear your sunscreen!  For more information, visit www.healthyhabitstoday.net*
