Labor Day is just around the corner, Monday, September 5, 2011- the day that is commonly associated with the end of summer, but summer's official end occurs when fall begins at the autumnal equinox on September 23, 2011, at 5:05 A.M. (EDT) in the Northern Hemisphere, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac.
Just because the temperatures are dropping ever so slightly and the days are getting a bit shorter doesn't mean you can automatically stop paying attention to the damage sun can do to your skin. In fact, many people are under the misconception that you can't get sun damage on a cloudy day. You can.
"Ultraviolet rays come right through the clouds that block the visible light rays. Never forget that ultraviolet is invisible, and you cannot use less visible light as an indicator of less ultraviolet light," explains Tampa, Florida dermatologist Henry E. Wiley III, M.D. It's the invisible ultraviolet rays that wreak havoc on your skin, causing wrinkles, discoloration, skin roughness and more.
For those sun worshippers who just can’t help themselves, there are ways to combat the aging effects of too many rays. At-home beauty products are becoming more advanced in anti-aging, including spa-like procedures such as facial peels. Using a peel can remove some of the damaged cells from the top layer of skin.
The Nu Skin 180° AHA Facial Peel and Neutralizer work to exfoliate surface skin to unclog pores while helping to stimulate new cell renewal. Utilizing a 10 percent lactic acid solution, the formula has been scientifically proven to improve the appearance of aging and sun damage without the recovery time required by aggressive clinical peels.
Even if you aren't a sun worshipper, it's a good idea to do a peel every so often to remove dead skin cells - they don't just "fall off" by themselves. The recommended usage for the Nu Skin 180° AHA Facial Peel and Neutralizer is three times a week after cleansing and toning.
