SPF

Sun protection factor better known as spf.  Spf is the amount of time you have before the damaging UVA and UVB rays will pentrate the skin and breakdown elasticity and collagen.  Take the spf number says its 30...so 30X3=90..90 minutes that's how long you have until you need to reapply. Use a Broad Spectrum one that has dual physical ingredients that will reflect the damaging rays and keep them from penetrating the skin. Just do it please.\

Washing your skin

Washing your skin is important.  It is also important that you are using the right cleanser for your skin and don't wash it too often, over washing skin can cause some acne issues by creating what is called oil dry skin.  If you are over washing and causing the outer layer of skin to get dehydrated it will send a message to your brain to produce more oil, therefore sending oil to the surface top layer.  When this happens more often than not you will have acne breakouts of just oil trapped in the pore, however, if it mixes with dead skin then you will also have acne only with keratinized protein mixed with the oil.  Using the right kind of cleanser  is also very important.  If you have oily skin and are using a cleanser for dry skin you will cause more acne.  If you have acne skin and use a cleanser for oily skin you will only cause more acne...so either way if you are using the wrong cleanser you can cause your own acne issues.  Confused just e-mail me.
