5 important reasons why you should always wear sunscreen

7th January 2022
"We all have heard about the importance of wearing sunscreen for screen protection, but do you know the specific reason why?"

We all have heard about the importance of wearing sunscreen for screen protection, but do you know the specific reason why? Without sunscreen, your skin is vulnerable to a host of problems. Here are five reasons why you should use sunscreen daily:

Protect the Skin from Sunburn

Too much sun exposure or exposure to UV light (such as tanning beds), without protection, could result in a painful burn.

With repeated sun exposure and no protection, you could see increased sunspots and skin damage.

Sunburn can also increase the risk of developing skin cancer.

Sunburn typically takes a few days or longer to heal, so it’s critical to always wear sunscreen, even on cooler, cloudy days.

Reduce the Risk of Skin Cancer

The number one reason you should prioritize wearing sunscreen is that it helps to protect you from developing skin cancer.

Daily SPF use, even if it is cloudy or raining, can help protect your skin from harmful rays that cause cancer.

It is especially important to protect your skin from melanoma, which is the most deadly type of skin cancer.

Prevents Premature Aging

All of us love to have younger-looking, radiant, and healthy skin.

And, this is one of the most convincing reasons to start using sunscreen.

It shields your skin from developing signs of aging, such as wrinkles and fine lines.

Studies reveal that people below the age of 55 who used sunscreen had 24% lesser chances of developing these aging signs than non-sunscreen and occasional sunscreen users.

Prevents Tanning

Tan is healthy – this concept persists. However, what you should be aware of is that while you are sunbathing to tan, you are at the risk of being harmed by the harsh ultraviolet B rays.

Choose a sunscreen that has a minimum sun protection factor of 30 to prevent tanning induced by UVB.

And, make sure you reapply sunscreen every two hours, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Enhances Health of the Skin

The essential skin proteins, such as collagen, keratin, and elastin are protected by sunscreen.

These proteins are required for keeping the skin smooth and healthy.

Make sure your sunblock has titanium oxide in it for endowing these benefits to the skin.

How to choose the right sunscreen?

13th October 2020
"Live, laugh, WEAR SUNSCREEN!"

Regardless of your skin type, it's important to shield your skin from the sun. It's not up for discussion why we ought to wear sunscreen. But it's not easy to choose the right sunscreen. There's an explanation of why people despise things;   being chalky, greasy, and just all-around annoying.

But what kind of sunscreen to use? That might be a question that's been ringing in your head! But don't you worry. We are right here! Here, we have compiled a list of 4 tips to make your sunscreen use better and productive, and certainly less annoying.

Broad Spectrum

Choose a sunscreen covered by a "broad spectrum." Sunscreens guard against all UVA and UVB rays with this mark. Both sunscreen materials guard against UVB radiation, the major source of skin cancers, and sunburn. UVA rays do, however, often lead to skin cancer and premature aging. It is possible to mark a "broad spectrum" for products that pass a certain test. Products that are not broad spectrum must be warned that they only protect against sunburn, not skin cancer or skin aging.

 

Sun Protection Factor 

spf

SPF is a measure of how much UVB light can filter out from a sunscreen. An SPF of at least 30 is recommended by dermatologists. About 93 percent of UVB rays are blocked by SPF 15, while about 97 percent of UVB rays are blocked by SPF 30. An SPF of 30 or higher is recommended by the ADA. Applying adequate sunscreen to every exposed area of skin every day is necessary. We recommend putting a coat of SPF 30 all over the body for a half hour before leaving home on days you will be outdoors for a long period of time and then reasserting every two hours. It's smart to grab your sunscreen any time you get out of the pool while you're swimming.

 

Skin Type

skin-type

Make sure that your sunscreen is labeled as 'non-comedogenic' if you have acne or oily skin, which means that it's been shown not to block pores. Look for sunscreen or sunscreen moisturizers that contain hydrating ingredients if you have dry skin.

Choose physical or mineral sunscreen for delicate skin. Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are physical sunscreen features that shield the skin; these two components will not hurt or sting the eyes. Sitting on top of the skin, they form a shield that will protect you.

 

Water Resistance

water-resistant

After a certain time (either 40 or 80 minutes) in water or when sweating, 'Water-Resistant Sunscreens' maintain their specified SPF strength. If the sunscreen still covers the SPF written on the label after submersion into the hot bubbling water, then the sunscreen will make a water-resistant argument. So check your sunscreen if it works for 40 minutes or 80 minutes before going out in sun, or swimming. 

Just because a sunscreen is called 'water-resistant: 40 minutes' does not indicate that for 40 minutes you can just sit in the water. It basically means that you may begin to see a decrease in SPF safety after 40 minutes in the pool, and you may need to reapply sunscreen to retain its original SPF value.

Common Health Issues Faced by Women

17th December 2021
"Women have very unique health issues as compared to men."

Women have very unique health issues as compared to men. It is vital that every woman has access to knowledge about the women’s health conditions, not only about her reproductive system but related about all aspects of her body.

It’s important to consider that poor health affects not only women but also has repercussions for their infants and other family members.

So here are some common health issue faced by women and needs to be taken care of:

Maternal health issues

From iron-deficiency anemia to high blood pressure, the changes a woman experiences during pregnancy can impact a woman’s health.

Pregnancy can cause a healthy mother’s red blood cell count to drop, a condition called anemia, or induce depression.

Other problems like abortion infections, STDs, post-partum infections, pelvic inflammatory diseases, etc. are also faced by many women.

Lifestyle problems such as smoking, alcohol, consuming processed food, physical and emotional stress can also play a significant role in infertility.

Thyroid problems

Thyroid disease is twice as prevalent in women as in men and is common among women of child-bearing age.

Women generally have hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone levels), in which the metabolism slows down. Symptoms include weight gain, feeling sluggish and tired, etc.

On the other side, high thyroid levels can also cause early onset of menopause, before 40 years or in the early 40s.

Urinary tract infections

Urinary tract infections is particularly common in women, as they have a shorter urethra than a man does.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) occur when germs get into the urethra and start to multiply.

Symptoms of a UTI include frequent urination, pain or burning when urinating, and cloudy urine.

Gynecological Health

Bleeding and discharge are a normal part of the menstrual cycle.

However, added symptoms during menstruation may indicate health issues, and unusual symptoms, such as bleeding between menstruations and frequent urinating, can mimic other health conditions.

Vaginal issues could also indicate serious problems such as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or reproductive tract cancer.

While care providers might treat mild infections easily, if left unchecked, they can lead to conditions such as infertility or kidney failure.

Depression and Anxiety

Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) occurs commonly among women, while premenstrual dysmorphic disorder (PMDD) presents similar, but greatly intensified, symptoms.

Shortly after birth, many mothers acquire a form of depression called the “baby blues,” but perinatal depression causes similar which include symptoms like concerns, emotional shifts, sadness, and tiredness.
