Chic-Shuk Secrets

Sun damage is the greatest threat to your skin’s long-term health and beauty. Nothing ages skin faster than the sun’s UVA and UVB rays, and premature aging caused by exposure to the sun’s rays creates saggy skin, wrinkled skin, dark sunspots and discoloration.

Your skin is exposed not only when you’re lounging by the pool, but when you’re going from your car to the grocery store.  Further more, about 80% of the sun’s cell-destroying UV and UB rays can penetrate windshields and assault your skin even through cloud cover.   

Some of the nasty secrets of what the sun can do to your skin are destroying skin’s connective tissue, leading to loss of tone, texture and firmness (what causing the appearance of wrinkles) and encourage melanocytes to become overactive and clump together, resulting in age spots, uneven pigmentation and skin cancer.  

In order to prevent sun damage, besides staying indoors you should wear broad-spectrum lotions with SPF 15 or higher, over sized sun-glasses, wide-brim hats and use spray tanning services!

Remember: Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer, and sun damage can affect people of all ages, races and colorings – not just those with light skin and light eyes!
