There are thousands of cosmetic products which offer protection for your skin, hair and nails from the sun. Besides the familiar UVB filters, which protect us from sunburn, the leading cosmetic companies put into their creams and lotions and effective UVA filters, which keep our skin from A waves, which were proved to be much more harmful than B waves and their influence on the skin often leads to skin cancer. Modern sun cosmetics are a cocktail of vitamins, enzymes and plant materials that support optimal natural processes and the ability of skin to recover itself and not be affected by the harmful influence of environment. To be the sun your friend, however, it is necessary to be choosing the right product for you and your skin. The more high in the mountains are you, closer to the equator or near to the water, the higher SPF must contain your cosmetics. This factor indicates how long we can expose under the sun without damaging our skin. Product with SPF 20 shows that you have 20 times more protection from the natural skin protection. For example, if your skin is white and burn after 10 minutes standing in the sun with SPF20 you may be out of the sun 200 minutes without a burn. Whenever you walk in the mountains and especially near waterways you must using in the first few days a high protection factor because then the skin would be white and can easily burn. After the first two or three days you can reduce the safety factor. It is also important when you buy sunscreen creams and lotions to check if they are waterproof or not. If they are not, it is absolutely necessary when you go out of the water to use lotion or cream again. People often thinking that sun care lotions are necessary only when we they are on vacation, but it is not true. Each day of the year regardless of the season, your skin needs nourishment and protection from the sun and the harmful influence of environment. It is very important to reapply sun care cream and lotions. When you are on vacation, you should spread on your body or hair with the sun care product at least 20 minutes prior to be exposed to the sun. This is the time required for chemical filters to start working effectively. You have to protect your hair before go out too. Most easily way is to use spray, which moisturizes and protects the hair.
