& 26 - "WEEKEND STAR" b We're much wiser now. We know we shouldn't put on oil and spend hours in the sun to get a tan. We're aware of the dangers of UVA and UVB rays, and cover up at the beach. But what we haven't quite learned is that the sun's rays do penetrate clouds - and that daily exposure to the elements, even when we're not deliberately sunbathing, can be bad for our skin. So what does the sun do to your skin even on a cloudy day? e In small doses it dries the outer layer of the skin to produce flaky, dry skin. e Continued exposure leads to the production of melanin that creates a tan, but also causes age spots. e A longer-term danger of sun exposure is damage of the collagen and elastin fibres in the skin that caus- ses fine lines and wrinkles. What's good for skin? 0 'Sun bad, clouds good? e By far the most powerful reason to protect your skin however, is that expo- sure to the sun stimulates the skin to undergo malig- nant change and hence encourages skin cancer. The first tool in ybur arse- nal against the effects of the sun on your skin is dressing for the weather. Start with a hat, preferabiy one with a brim that runs all the way around it. This will keep the rays off your face, but will also protect the back of your neck. T-shirts and shorts are always popular, but con- sider light coloured cotton pants and long-sleeve shirts-aside from protect- ing more of your skin, the added material can actu- ally increase your comfort as it wicks perspiration away from your skin. Consider getting sunglass- es with UV protection.

Dermatologists rec- ommend sunscreens with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 if you plan to be in the sun for any length of time. But if you're just planning a stroll in the garden and don't want to smell of coco-butter, body mois- turizers with an SPF of 15 such as Vaseline Intensive Care "Total Care" are also available. Finally, dehydration is inevitable when you're out on a hot day, so last but not least pack a water bottle. Exposure to sun- light can prevent the skin from conducting its usual temperature control func- tion. Failure to drink plen- ty of fluids can lead to heat stroke, a serious ill- ness that requires medical attention. - News Canada All kinds of nutrients and vitamins have been scientifically proven to be good for your skin's health.
