The Sun and your Skin

As spring and summer approach, soaking up the sun's rays is one of life's greatest pleasures. Not only does the warm, sunny day perk up our spirits, it provides us with the with the ideal setting to pursue a lot of activities, including outdoor sports, walks with your dog,(that's me!) gardening or just relaxing. The sunlight can also provide therapeutic and psychological benefits. Unfortunately spending too much time in the sun without adequate protection is harmful. Excessive exposure over the years which when I was growing up was the thing to do, lay in the sun rub baby oil over and bake! I 'm paying for that now as I found a spot on my cheek a couple years ago, it was froze once came back again, but this time if it does not go away they will take a bx of it, to see if it's fast growing if not then they will cut it out, well they will cut it out anyway lovely. People who work in the sun for years without sunscreen develop a tough leathery skin that make them look 15-20years older. After years of excessive exposure, the sun weakens the skin's elasticity, leaving the appearance of sagging cheeks and deeper than normal facial wrinkles. The other harmful effects on your skin, discoloration"liver spots" So that tells me sunscreen, sunscreen,sunscreen I know I'm at fault sometimes I forget to put it on, so I have came up with a solution, I keep a tube in my car, great idea!
Have a great week everyone
