Tips to apply sunscreen more effectively

Anupam Agnihotri | Nov 3 2008

Before going out in the sun, question that strikes the brain is how to prevent the skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun. The answer is simple- by using sunscreen lotions. However, sometimes sunscreen lotions are used quite inappropriately, which prevents from accessing its full benefits. However, before applying any sunscreen lotion make sure that it suits your skin. Here are some genuine tips to use sunscreen lotions:-

• Make sure that you apply sunscreen lotion at least 30 minutes before you go out, as it would allow skin to absorb the lotion.

• Applying sunscreen lotion just once is not sufficient. Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours when outdoors, especially if you’re swimming or sweating.

• Skin around the tops of the ears, nose, and cheeks is quite susceptible to sunburn, so apply sunscreen on these areas, liberally.

• Use roughly a handful to cover your entire body.
These were some of the authentic ways of applying sunscreen lotion, however, it should not be forgot that clothes serve as the best shield against UV rays, therefore, try to dress up in such a manner that most of your body parts are covered. In addition, don’t forget to drink lots of water.

Galvanic Facials in Carlsbad Ca

Why Get a Galvanic Facial

While caring for their skin many choose the facial as a way to pamper themselves. You can get a facial by simply going to a parlour and spend a few hours while a professional makes your skin beautiful and brings back your youthful radiance. Although it can be difficult to find the right facial for your needs with all the choices available today.

Types of Facials

A basic clean up is the simplest form of a facial that you can choose. You skin will be cleansed, exfoliated and moisturized with this type of facial. To help clear up the ugly blackheads and whitehead in addition to preventing and reducing other skin issues the face is gently steamed. A gentle scrub granule is massaged on the skin after the skin is steamed. To further exfoliate the skin after the scrub is removed another creamy cleanser is used. This type of facial can be done on all skin types and is usually selected by those under the age of twenty-five. It will reduce tanning, remove dirt and blackheads while giving the skin a clean and glowing complexion.

Then there is a normal and special facial. A normal facial just helps to cleanse, steam and massage the skin. Those who aren’t prone to acne should choose this facial and they generally don’t cost a lot. Since the skin is massaged for a longer period of time these normal facials are different from the basic clean up.

A hypoallergenic cream is used during a specialized facial to help moisturize the skin. There are different types of face packs that can be applied depending on the skin type of the individual as well as a special cleansing and rejuvenating technique. This is the better option for those with sensitive skins when undergoing a facial.

The last option is a Galvanic facial. This option uses a Galvanic gadget that give a steady, direct galvanic current to introduce water-soluble substance to the body through the skin. The capacity of the skin to absorb is increased and this improves the penetration of products through the skin. To treat specific problems this helps make it easier. This type of facial is best for those with dry, dehydrated skin since it helps improve moisture retention. This facial also helps to remove congestion.

Benefits of a Galvanic Facial

An excellent way to revitalize the skin and help the active ingredients of skin products gain deep penetration into your skin is through a Galvanic facial. A Galvanic facial can give you a much deeper penetration of ingredients than manual applications. It also reduces the oiliness of the skin for those prone to acne while helping to clean congestion. This type of facial helps improve the normal functions of the skin by helping to improve the skin’s blood circulation. Products can be absorbed directly through the skin with this facial.

A Galvanic facial can help increase the efficiency of any skin treatment. According to the individual skin type or the individual problem that someone wants to resolve the skin is prepared at the start of the facial. To prepare the skin it is typical to use cleansing and ozone. Then a specialized formulation is used to start the Galvanic treatment.

This treatment can help remove sebaceous blockage and clear congestion that leads to acne which makes it a good option for those who suffer from acne. During the facial process a hydrating and nourishing substance needs to be applied in order for those with dry and normal skins to benefit from this type of facial. This is the best facial option to choose for those who need to rejuvenate and revitalize their skin.
