Sun Damage in Winter?

Yes, 90% of pre-mature skin aging comes from exposure to UV rays from the sun. UVB is what causes sunburn. It affects the outer layer of skin. You get 70% of UVB during the summer, but UVA ~which is more damaging to the deeper layers of skin~ is constant all year long.

What can you do? Experts agree that applying sunscreen on your face everyday ~even during the winter months~ is an essential practice that protects your skin. Also, if you are using skin care products with alpha hydroxy acids, it’s even more important to protect your skin because “alpha-hydroxy acids may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn.” from the FDA Protect your skin year round–from the cold, harsh winter to the hot, blistering summer with Cell Block-C New Cell Protection SPF 20 from BeautiControl

Cell Block-C SPF 20 uses the latest technological breakthroughs to target existing damage such as sagging skin and fine lines. It contains a gentle, all-physical sunscreen –micronized titanium dioxide- to protect against UVA and UVB radiation and a super-charged antioxidant blend to scavenge free radicals.

According to Paula Begoun, author of “Don’t Go to the Cosmetic Counter without Me,” BeautiConrol Cell Block-C New Cell Protection SPF 20 is a Best of the Year of 2008 because: “This is a remarkable mineral sunscreen for normal to dry or sensitive skin. It is fragrance-free and loaded with antioxidant and cell-communicating ingredients, and the packaging will keep these sensitive ingredients stable during use. There are very few sunscreens/daytime moisturizers available that supply skin with such an impressive cocktail of beneficial ingredients. As such, this deserves strong consideration, particularly by those with rosacea.”

Take the Pledge . . . Pamper Yourself in 2011

As you begin 2011; make sure one of your resolutions is to take care of yourself. As women, we have many different roles and we juggle lots of responsibilities. It's easy to forget to take care of ourselves. With all of our responsibilities, it's easy to get stressed out. Stress affects us in numerous ways; ~both emotionally and physically~ but by taking just 15 minutes a day for yourself, you can lower your stress level and be able to respond better to life; your hubby, kids and work.

One of BeautiControl's missions is to provide spa quality treatments for you to use at home. Turn your bathroom into a spa every day. Use the Therapeutic Bath Minerals or Detoxifying Bath Soak to turn your tub into an oasis that soaks away tensions. Try Sugar Body Scrub or LOS Sea Salt Glow to exfoliate and get rid of that dead, dry, dull skin in the shower. Treat your feet to Salty Margarita Foot Scrub that warms as it removes the dead skin from your feet; follow up with Frozen Margarita Foot Crème and spa socks overnight to lock in the smoothness and moisture. You won't believe how good your feet feel when you wake-up. When you step out of your shower or bath, quench parched skin with BC spa Body Ultra-Rich Body Moisturizer or Creamy Margarita Body Lotion.

Take this simple pledge;

"I promise in 2011 to take care of myself. I will take 15 minutes a day to breathe deeply and pamper myself in some way; because I deserve it!"
