SUNBLOCK; CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL WHAT THE DIFFERENCE

No matter what age or who you are sunblock is essential.  If you get a sunburn it will start showing its ugly head in your mid 30's.  Sun damage most of us have it and by the time we realize, OMG I'm not invincible, its to late, some damage has been done.  However, the good news in todays world you can reverse the signs of Sun damage, thats another blog. lol.

So Chemical or Physical and whats the difference?  I teach my clients to use both for many reasons.  Chemical sunblock works on a cellular level meaning contains an ingredient that allows it to penterate into the dermis layers of the skin. When the sun pentrates to these layers the chemical block will diffuse the rays and no damage is ever done.  Physcial sunblock is made to set on the epidermis layer of the skin(this is the outside layer the layer we see everyday.)  Physcial sunblocks are light reflective which means the block will deflect and no damage  done.  Physical sunblocks are usually Titanium Oxide and Zinc Oxide together in one product and a Chemcial sunblock the most common would be a good Vit C serum.  Emphasis on good not all Vit C serums are created equal, however, any Vit C serum is better than none.

The reason why I have my clients use both Vit C serum has many uses to the cellular layer so its very important, however, the main reason I just want them to be safe and not sorry in their 40's.  I tell them they will thank me for it later.

Keep in mind sunblocks and suncreens are not the same thing, if you look at it like having a screen on your front door or having your front door closed, same concept.  You will still get color when using a sunblock, maybe not as fast but healthier and better for you skin.

As always any questions please email me at spaaahservices@gmail.com.

Have a great day.

Does Chocolate cause Acne?

According to Dr. Lawrence Samuels, board certified Dermatologist, there is no direct proof that chocolate causes acne.  However, he does remind us that the oil gland takes sugar and fat to produce oil.   Two ingredients chocoloate contains.  Eating a diet low in sugar and fat will always produce better skin, because of the nutrients, vitamins and anti-oxidants.  So be pro active if you are having acne breakouts and your diet consist of sugar and fatty products, change your diet.  Don't be your own worse enemy, always eat as natural as possible.  Staying on the outer isles of the grocery store will help you do this.  In my practice when it comes to conquering acne, I not only have clients watch their diet, but the moisturizers they use on their bodies along with oils used on salads and in cooking their foods.
