Firstly I would like to thank you all for the astounding response I received on my previous post even after my coming back from a long break🙏. I was missing in action since quite some time but since I'm back now, lets start this journey of looking stylish and beautiful again .💃
I was really overwhelmed by your compliments , wishes and blessings . I feel really blessed for having such amazing people in my life - my family , friends and my dearest #glazedglossFam. 😇😇
So lets tottle back to the  main topic of the post .

                      😎🌞 #summer ready#😎🌞

With all these temperatures rising and hell breaking loose due to the  horrid , hot weather. we all need something that takes good care of our skin. Let me tell you the harsh truth , even 5 minutes of sun exposure can  be really harmful. So today I'm doing a detailed post about how to beat the heat and protect your skin .
I'm going to touch up on some serious stuff that I myself has been ignoring for so many years.Whenever I used to see Advertisement for SUNBLOCKs or SUNSCREENs I did not really understand the need for them.

 I used to carry or buy sunblocks only when i used to travel to places that were extremely hot or where there was too much sun exposure but slowly i started noticing acne on my skin much before i expected them to appear. My skin was turning dark in some areas and light in some which got to know was pigmentation .

i approachhed a dermatologist , who explained me how our skin is a very sensitive part of our body and we need to take good care  of it.

It had various aspects to it - 

🌞 # GOOD DIET AND ENOUGH WATER INTAKE🍏🍎🍒🍉🚰

🌞 # REGULAREXCERCISE

 🌞# EXTERNAL PROTECTION 
                       

  she explained to me the importance of taking good care of our skin ,at a young age so that the harm can be avoided. She advised  me to use sunblock ,which turned out to be miraculous for me as there was a visible change in my skin within a few months of usage. We must also understand that sun exposure is essential as it provides us with VITAMIN D ,which is essential for absorption of calcium in our body. there are various products available in the market and it is important to do your research and then select something that suits your requirements ,in accordance to your skin type.

🌞FACTORS THAT NEED TO BE TAKEN CARE OF WHILE

CHOOSING A SUNSCREEN/SUNBLOCK

🌞 some of the terms that you will see written on the sunscreen  are SPF , PA+++,PB+++ etc

   so lets  break them down for you .

😎1. SPF - It stands for the sun protection factor which ranges from 10-90. The skin's own natural protection time is determined by your skin type, your location and the season. If you can stay in the sun (without any kind of sunscreen )without burning for lets say 3s minutes then that is the natural sun protection of your skin. The SPF 50+ provides 50 times the sun protection of what your skin naturally provides. For example if you feel sunburn after 3 Minutes on your skin without any protection applying sunscreen with SPF 30 will protect you for 3*30=90 Minutes before you begin to burn. So it is important to reapply sunscreen after regular intervals of time.

😎2. UVA++++ -means Ultra violet aging rays which go deep into the  layers of the skin and cause aging effects like wrinkles etc .. so UA+++ means it will provide against its harmful effects.

😎3.UVB+++- Means ultra violet burning rays which harm the upper layer of the skin and causes sunburn and tanning.

😎4.PA++++- Means more  protection  against the sun  damage..if you have  oily skin make sure that you check that the product is comodegenic which will not clog pores and is for hypoallergic skin. .

🌞🌞 It is important to take care of certain things before applying sunscreen :




😎1. Apply a layer of moisturiser first before applying sunscreen. 



😎2. Dab the sunscreen on your skin and not rub because we just need to provide a protective layer to the skin and not let it soak it in.

😎3.you need to reapply the sunscreen at regular interval of time . 


Read the ingredients carefully and avoid products with paraben, it is a chemical used for preservation of other creams but researches show that prolong exposure of these chemicals can cause harmful side effects . 

VARIOUS SUNSCREEN/SUNBLOCK THAT ARE AVAILABLE

IN THE MARKET ARE

1)lotus  herbals safe screen cream spf 30

2)patanjali sunscreen cream spf 30

3)lakme sunscreen expert spf 30 PA fairness uv sunscreen lotion

5)biotique bio aloe vera and body sun cream spf 30 +

6)neutrogena ultra sheer dry touch sunblock spf 50+ with helipolex uva uvb pa+++

It is important to understand that these harmful effects are for people of all ages and gender . Sunscreens are not to be treated as a part of ,only women's beauty regimen. protect your children, male members and elderly people also ,who maybe, don't have much knowledge or are not too bothered to take care of their skin.There are many child friendly sun screens also available in the market. other than these sun protection steps, wear good quality sunglasses with uv protection to protect from harmful effects of the sun on your eyes .It is always better to be safe than sorry. Also if possible carry umbrellas with you wherever you can . Remember this is irreversible damage that harmful sun rays can cause ......
