Sun damage is caused by the sun and its ultra violet rays. Approximately 80% to 85% of aging skin is caused by these rays. UVA and UVB rays speed up the process of weakening collagen and elastin fibers in the skin. UVA rays are the aging rays. They are able to penetrate as far as to the dermis of the skin. UVB rays are the burning rays. They only penetrate to the epidermis (top layer) of skin but are stronger and more damaging to the skin. It is so important to be wearing your sun protection DAILY!! This will help you slow down the process of aging and sun spots. It is impossible to stay out of the sun . Here are just a few tips to avoid too much sun exposure:
-Apply sunblock at least 30 min. before going into the sun
-Avoid peak hours of sun of sun exposure between 10-4
-Reapply sun protection every two hours especially if sweating or swimming
-Wear hats and sunglasses
-AVOID tanning beds
It may seem like a little extra work, however, taking these few simple precautions will help you’re skin to stay looking young and vibrant.

I have a friend that said I looked really happy in this photo. I was, and I am every time I get to spend time with my horse! I think that everyone needs to get themselves outside and into nature as often as they can. However you choose to spend your outdoor time, taking care of your skin can be simple as long as you remember to ‘Prepare, Prevent & Preserve’ the health of your skin! When you dress to go outside you think about the weather, the temperature etc…right? Do the same for your skin…to help prepare for the day. If your skin is oily or acne prone make sure to wash your face as soon as you’re done sweating to help prevent those annoying breakouts. I have an easy, inexpensive way for you to be more proactive…Wet some Viva paper towels with distilled water, add 1 very small drop of your Visual Changes Skin Clearing Cleanser to each towel and place in a zippy bag. Voila! You’re ready for even the most rugged outdoor activities! Sunscreen, of course, is a must have item for your outdoor lifestyle that will help prepare, prevent and preserve your skin. Prevent new sun damage while preserving the moisture you already have. We carry Cotz SPF Sunscreen’s with SPF’s from 58-60. You can even get them with a hint of tint added to help hide any dark spots that you may already have…cool huh?! Head outside and have some fun!

Have you ever wondered if that thick, white, pasty lotion you use during the summer is actually doing what it says on the container? Well if you’re most people, it may not be. Protecting your skin is a tricky business and a confusing one at that, so I’ve tried to simplifiy the sunscreen/sunblock, SPF, and UVA/UVB conundrum so you can be confidant in your sunscreen.
In order to choose a correct sunscreen, you need to understand the differences between UVA and UVB rays. UVA (ultraviolet-A) are long-wave solar rays that are less likely to cause sunburn; however, they penetrate the skin more deeply and contribute the most to photo-aging. Recent studies also show that UVA increase UVB’s cancer-causing effects. UVB (ultraviolet-B) are short-wave solar rays that are more likely to sunburn; however, these rays are considered the main cause of basal and squamous cell carcinomas as well as significant cause of melanoma.
Now that you’re armed with UV information, let’s talk about the why some sun protection is called sunscreen or sunblock. (more…)

Some men and women would run to buy a new miracle product that has been proven to keep your skin looking as young as possible for as long as possible. And some of you will also say to yourself, “That product just doesn’t and will never exist.” Well, you’re wrong.
The miracle anti-aging product that most of us already have on hand is…. You guessed it, sunscreen. Sun damage, or Photo Damage, is the #1 cause of the appearance of aged skin. It breaks down your collagen and elastin production causing skin to sag, droop, and wrinkle. Sun damage also causes dark spots, freckling and uneven skin tone, or “hyperpigmentation” that can be buried deep within your skin layers and show up years later. Of course there is always the looming dark cloud of skin cancer that can pop up on you.
Using SPF, or skin care products containing SPF, is really the best way to insure your beautiful skin to stay fit for longer. (more…)
