There is nothing one can do in this HILTON- LOHAN infected society of sun tanned, bleached blond and idiotic, from telling all of you to stay out of the sun… because you will do it anyway. In your quest to look young and lively you are slowly degrading your skin and accelerating your aging process.
Sun damage is the cause for 90% of aging not to mention putting you at risk for skin cancer. SKIN CANCER. The same youth obsessed people will completely disregard the fact that tanning will age you, guaranteed and possibly kill you.
THE SUN IS AGING YOU, TANNING SALON’S ARE AGING YOU. Who are you killing yourself for anyway?
If all this doesn’t resonate with you and you still insist on being one of these over- tanned sorority girl types, I can give you some tips to combat SOME of the damage you are doing.
1. COFFEE- Studies show that for people who routinely drink caffeinated coffee there is a five percent drop in developing skin cancer. The coffee’s antioxidants protect the skin. Do not overdo the caffeine; keep it to two cups earlier in the day. Enjoy that venti skim latte with extra foam.
2. GREEN TEA- With all the benefits green tea provides, we can now add another reason to drink up. Studies have shown that green tea can reverse the effects of sun damage and fight skin cancer. With its powerful antioxidant properties and polyphenol activity, it provides anti-inflammatory properties. Have two cups a day; steep for five minutes. With summer coming up, make a pitcher of iced green tea with lemon and mint.
3. CARATENOIDS- These include veggies and fruits that include lypocene, beta carotene and lutein. Elevated levels of carotonoids in the blood have shown extra skin protection from damaging UVA rays of the sun. Carrots, leafy greens and tomatoes have proven photoprotective effects on skin. Eat them throughout the day, to keep levels high in your system. I do not advise the supplement versions because excess can lead to toxicity.
4. VITAMIN C- The King Kong of vitamins now can kill the harmful effects of sun on your skin. In turn the sun does deplete our vitamin levels, so we must consistently take in vitamin C in our diet. Alcohol, stress and pollution can zap the vitamin C from your system, so keep these forces at bay. If you go to the beach bring a vitamin C drink with you that you can drink throughout the day.
5. OMEGA–3’S- Found in fish (EPA) and (DHA) exert significant anti- inflammatory effects throughout the body. Studies show that people with high intakes of fish and nuts in their diet, show some resistance to sunburn. Add a handful of nuts to all your dishes and try to eat salmon at least twice a week.
THESE TIPS DO NOT SUBSTITUTE FOR SUN ABSTINENCE OR SUNBLOCK. The best solution to prevent wrinkling and skin cancer is simply staying out of the sun. Gone are the days of the orange QT tan disasters of our teen years. Now there are great, really natural looking self tanners and bronzers on the market. I love Neutrogena tanning foam or JERGENS gradual tan moisturizer. Add color with bronzer gels, like STILA products or powder bronzer from PAULA DORF or LOREAL.
Plus don’t forget that pale skin is beautiful too and has the capacity to look like much younger skin. Have fun and be beautiful!
