During the holidays I went to a newly opened children’s park in Laren. As you can see from the photograph, it is a super park.
People like looking good by, among other things, having a ‘healthy’ tan. This can be from either sitting in the sun or, a much safer option, a self tanning cream.
The illustrations show you how it is not only wrinkles that age the skin. Pigmentation also plays a role. The answer?
I am returning once again to the subject of the sun: too much sun causes ageing of the skin, resulting in wrinkles, including around the eyes. Fortunately there is an attractive solution for this: sunglasses.
Last week I wrote about lavender and that I’d rather have it in my garden than on my face. Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is an ingredient that I do really like using, and also recommend to people. But what does it actually do?
As Dr. Peter Velthuis wrote earlier in my blog, a suntan is “in”. For many people, during the winter months, that brown tan definitely comes from a sunbed. Unfortunately people don’t realise the risks they are taking by regularly using a sunbed.
Recently I came across a very unusual article. In 2005 the University of Illinois released a piece about solar dermatitis (sun rash) in pets. It’s not something that I would immediately think about if I see a four legged friend lying in the sun.
The American plastic surgeon Dr. Antell photographed hundreds of twins in order to see what effects external factors (sun, stress, smoking) have on skin.
I think there are many people who are not familiar with the term “nanotechnology”. Yet this technology is used in the manufacturing of a very large portion of sun cream products. The technique is used to break down zinc oxide and titanium dioxide particles so that they don’t leave a white film on the skin.
Often people don’t apply enough sun cream. In order to have the protection of the stated SPF on the product, you need to apply 2mg/cm2 onto your skin. With this amount you are certain of the level of SPF stated on the sun protection cream.
