Have you ever heard these words? "Sun protection isn't that important, all the damage was done when you were younger". This is a common misconception. Most of us are vigilant when it comes to protecting ourselves when we're heading off to the beach, but on a day to day basis we fall prey to the incorrect notion that the majority of skin damage from sun exposure happens during our youth. But research out of the USA has proven otherwise, the reality is we're exposed to just as much sun, and cause just as much skin damage, post our teen years. And every minute of unprotected sun exposure adds up!
David Khoo, Olay Scientist, says "In countries like Australia, even on a cloudy day the level of UV radiation can sometimes be quite high. Even if we are not directly under the sun, we can accumulate incremental sun exposure when driving to work, running errands outdoors, or just sitting in the office close to a window. So, it's important to be aware of how much sun we are getting and always have some basic SPF protection on. We need to be skin savvy on a daily basis."
"Damage from UVA and UVB rays from the sun can account for up to 90% of the skins aged appearance. UV rays deeply penetrate the skin causing significant damage, so it is important to understand that skin damage due to sun exposure is not defined by age and we need to be conscious about sun protection all the time. Olay has the widest range of SPF based products available in the market - offering targeted treatments with the added benefit of SPF protection, so you can find the right sun protection solution for you" concludes David Khoo.
New Regenerist Superstructure Cream SPF 30
There are many different cosmetic procedures that target the signs of ageing.
