What you might not know about tanning

Let’s talk shampoo-o-ooo-oo

Also, avoid putting conditioner on the roots of your hair because it makes the skin produce more oil.

Snail in your serum?

Apparently, snail skin share the same structural components as human skin, so is it any wonder that skin care scientists should shift their attention to these slimy creatures who slither along at slow pace under the hot sun and all kinds of other weathers and yet still maintain such smooth (albeit… brown) skin?  

A product that contains snail secretion also firms skin, reduces redness and puffiness, smooths skin, evens skin tone, functions as a moisturizer, and can even dissolve stretch marks.

So what do you think? Would you pay good money to slather these stuff all over your face?

Keep your hair out of your face

If you have body acne problems, then wash your hair before washing your body to make sure conditioner and shampoo in your hair do not end up on your body.

Same thing applies to putting on hair products before you sleep- don’t do it.

They may be left on your pillow until the next time you change your sheets and that could mean some disastrous effect on your skin!

A moisturizer that has an oily base? Skip it.

Good for your tears… not so much for the skin

Suds in your cleanser - Big No

Suds: froth, foam, bubbles formed from a liquid

Washing your face is an integral part of your daily routine

But please

or you’ll wash away your skin’s natural protective layer! The oil glands on your face would in turn overproduce in order to compensate the loss!

Burning fact about sun protection

We know lots of people are still confused about how harmful UV rays really are, and doubtful about investing in UV Protection products. Well, here’s a awesome article that very simply explains it all: http://www.epa.gov/sunwise/doc/sunscreen.pdf

Some key points we would like to highlight from the article:

- an SPF of 15 protects the skin from 93% of UV radiation, an SPF 30 provides 97% protection

- People who are most likely to burn are also most vulnerable to skin cancer. Individuals with large numbers of freckles and moles also have a higher risk of developing skin cancer.

- There is no such thing as a healthy suntan. Any change in your natural skin color is a sign of skin damage. Every time your skin color changes after sun exposure, your risk of developing sun-related ailments increases.

- UV strength is greatest from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., so try to avoid sun exposure during these times

- Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before going out into the sun to give it time to absorb into your skin. Apply it generously and regularly— about 1 ounce every 2 hours—and more often if you are swimming or perspiring.
