Summer is here in full swing! Isn’t it wonderful to be spending time outside in the sun, enjoying our favourite outdoor activities? Unfortunately, it is while you engage in pool time fun, picnics, outdoor sports and more that your skin sustains damage. Pool chemicals, perspiration and sunburn can cause serious damage, which will not only cause premature ageing, but it will also increase your risk of skin cancer.
Use these methods to protect your skin this summer.
Your skin reflects your inner health, which is why it is important to keep healthy on the inside. Poor health manifests in premature aging, acne, dry skin, and bags under the eyes. During summer, we’re all busy with get-togethers, road trips and pool parties, and many of us neglect our health. With too little sleep and a poor diet, the body releases acne-causing hormones. Here’s how to take care of your skin from the inside:
Healthy skin is all about balance. In order to keep your skin healthy, you need to maintain the skin’s natural balance. Do this by keeping the following in mind:

Ultimately, sunscreen is your friend all year round. We cannot emphasize it enough: You MUST wear sunscreen. Skin cancer remains the most commonly diagnosed type of cancer and the saddest part is that a great number of cases can be prevented by applying sunscreen of SPF30+ at least twenty minutes before you go outside, especially to the lips, hands and ears.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG.org) releases an annual Guide to Sunscreens. Included in the latest release was a Hall of Shame, of highly popular sunscreens that disrupt hormones and contain harmful chemicals.
One product that met with their approval, was TiZO Age Defying Fusion sunscreen. What is great about TiZO?
The Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide particles in this pure sunscreen creates a uniform layer of coverage on the skin, preventing UVA and UVB rays from reaching your skin. It inhibits premature aging and free radical formation, both factors which lead to fine lines and wrinkles.
TiZO sunscreen contains no parabens, fragrances, and oils. It is formulated using epidermal conditioners that slide onto the skin silky smooth and leaves no white residue, or oily look or feel. TiZO sunscreen can be used on all skin types, including post-facial procedures, including cosmetic surgery, vibradermabrasion, peels and laser treatment. It is also safe for people who have photosensitive skin, eczema and acne.
Bradford Skin Clinic has TiZO as a featured product for you to stock up on this summer. Inquire about this great product today!
