What is sunscreen?  A cream or lotion rubbed onto the skin to protect it from the sun. An active ingredient in creams, lotions and other preparations for skin.      What sunscreen should I use? 1. Broad-spectrum protection (protects against UVA and UVB rays). 2. Sun Protection Factor (SPF) 30 or greater. 3. Water resistance. A sunscreen that offers the above helps to protect your skin from sunburn, early skin aging, and skin cancer. However, sunscreen alone cannot fully protect you. Also recommend that you seek shade when your shadow is shorter than you are and protect your skin by wearing long sleeves, pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses whenever possible.   Who needs sunscreen?   Everyone. People of all skin colours get skin cancer. More than 3.5 million skin cancers in more than 2 million people are diagnosed annually. Many of these skin cancers could have been prevented with protection from the sun’s rays.   When sho...

  ENZYMES !!!!!!!!!!  Do you want your skin to glow on a daily basis ?  A good home care regimen with monthly enzymatic facials will do the trick . As we age, the natural exfoliation slows down , which leads to a build up of dead skin cells . We see this built up dead layer as fine lines , uneven skin tone and even acne in some cases. Natural fruit enzymes enhance the natural exfoliation process , revealing fresh and healthy skin cells . Fruit contains natural enzymes, and is safe to use on most skin types . Fruit enzymes also deliver antioxidants to skin . Enzymatic fruits , such as papaya and pumpkin , provide both antioxidant nutrition and exfoliation to the skin when mixed with other fruits such as lemon , pomegranate , blueberry and kiwi . Enzymes are also very safe to use . When the enzymes “digest” or dissolve the topmost layer of the epidermis (un-like all other methods such as glycolic acid peels, dermabra-sion or laser resurfacing), there is no induced he...
