SUNSCREEN*

Memorial Day Pictures, Images and Photos

Summer time is here and you all know where we head out to the beach, park, pools etc ...
Skin Cancer is so dangerous, it can kill us, many people dont pay mind to it because they dont see the symptoms "now" but you must take a moment to consider this: The incidence of melanoma in women aged 30 to 44 is on the rise. Since 1973, the rate of melanoma diagnosed in this age-group has almost tripled, says Martin Weinstock, M.D., Ph.D., professor of dermatology at Brown University Medical School.

Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer is most likely the result of sun exposure in the women's childhood years, teens and early 20s.


thesre are a few ways you can keep yourself safe;

sweat & sun
Playing volleyball, tennis, biking a few miles are all amazing activities. The mix of sweat and outdoor elements wears away your sun screen protection. It takes most sunscreen about 20 minutes to penetrate the epidermis so to prevent this have the habit of applying lotion BEFORE you leave the house, also since water can degrade the effectiveness of your protection its important to apply sunscreen every hour or so. WaterProof or SweatProof sunscreen protections are a must if you are very active.

summer and the city
when it comes your body keep in mind even when your out shopping or going out for a wqlk if your wearing thin t-shirts than cant protect you at all to test your clothes hold them up to the sun if the light shines through them they wont provide enough protection. to prevent damage from uv ecposure DR. Neel recommends using a sunscreen or moisturizer with a built in- SPF before you dress.

Lubriderm Daily UV lotion is $8.




Remember to make sure your legs and upper back is covered this is where melanoma strikes the most. & dont forget your LiPS. Lips is also a cancer spot, it is one of the most senstive spot in your body so protect that mouth of yours with a lip balm that at least has a SPF 15 in it.

Tanning



I live for the summer days, spending the day and afternoon at the beach, is what I & most girls live for. I have very light skin, and I love the tanned look so Last May I tried tanning on a tanning booth for the first time at [Beach Bum Tanning Salon] and I loved it. I did it last year before prom so I can have that sunkissed look and to make me stand out. Well my boyfriend and family Begged & kind of brain washed me into not tanning ever again on a tanning booth because of all the damages it can do to your skin.

It's been a year since I've been at a tanning salon and I'm dying to go back! Theirs no way I can tan outside because its still a little cold! So I tried a Self tanning skin bronzer!
It's called paradise gold they sell them at your local drug store.


[it looks blurry because i took it with my phone]
the bottle says; Daily Moisturizer For medium skin tones, get a radiant sun-kissed glow while moisturizing. Essential Moisturizers keep skin healthy while creating a subtle glow
Do i recommend this? No, Not really
I've been using for about 2-3 weeks and so far yes I have been seeing results but very very very little. I guess it all depends on how much you put on and how many times you put it on.

As much as I want to give in I am going to TRY to wait for the summer. keyword TRY [lol]

I decided to put pictures of me with a tan and without a tan.

Not tanned ;
TANNED;


UPDATE
the picture speaks for itself. lol this is making me think twice about my tanning addiction
