Pumpkin Fever

It's that time of year again and pumpkin coffee, cakes and products are popping up everywhere. I just saw pumpkin Greek yogurt at Trader Joe's the other day!! Yum. Pumpkins are in season and there is good reason to include this vegetable not only in your diet but also in your skin care regime. Pumpkin is rich in alpha and beta carotenes, important antioxidants that boost immunity and slow the aging process. They are also rich in Vitamins C and E which benefit tired and stressed skin, B5 to balance hormone levels and lutein to protect from oxidative damage. On top of all that pumpkins also provide the skin with fatty acids, potassium, magnesium, zinc and iron to balance fluid levels, soothe, soften and elasticize the skin and treat wrinkles and dehydration. That's a lot of good reasons to join in the PUMPKIN FEVER!!

Living at the beach, our skin can become dehydrated during the summer and the damaging rays of the sun can speed up the aging process. With the cool and drier winter months approaching, this is the best time of year to rehydrate and rejuvenate the skin.

Your SPF

Did you know that up to 90% of visible aging is caused by sun exposure? Sunscreens help deflect and absorb harmful UV rays and protect the skin from photo damage. For the most protection, use a broad spectrum sunscreen that provides coverage from both UVA and UVB rays.

 

What SPF should you use?

The key to determining your SPF is identifying your skin type. Here are the six main skin types. Determine which one you are and then reference the SPF Chart below to maximize your protection when exposing yourself to the sun. Following these basic guidelines should ensure a nice even tan without burning.

Type 1 - Always burns easily, never tans, extremely sun sensitive.

  

Type 2 - Burns easily, tans minimally, also sun sensitive. 

  

Type 3 - Sometimes burns, tans gradually to light brown, some sun sensitivity.

  

Type 4 - Burns minimally, tans to moderate brown, and virtually no sun sensitivity.

  

Type 5 - Rarely burns, tans well, sun-insensitive skin.

  

Type 6 - Never burns, deeply pigmented, sun-insensitive skin.

SPF Basic Guidelines Chart 

If you are exposing yourself to the sun for the first time this season, I recommend starting with at least an SPF 30 for the first hour, followed by an SPF 50 for the second hour. It is best to limit your exposure to no more than 2 hours on your first day out. Otherwise follow these guidelines below to maximize your tan and minimize your burn.

Just Because Fall is Approaching......

Just because the summer is ending doesn't mean it is safe to stop wearing your sunscreen. Especially if you want to prevent the signs of aging, SPF is still a must during the fall and winter months. Just driving to work every morning with the glaring sun hitting your left cheek can cause discoloration of the skin. If you're not a fan of layering moisturizer and sunscreen and then makeup, try finding an all-in-one tinted moisturizer with SPF. There are plenty of them out there to choose from so no excuses ladies! Take care of that face!!
