Most people are aware that the best wrinkle cures is prevention. To keep your skin wrinkle free you must take a proactive approach. Sunscreens are essential for any prolonged amount of time in the sun. On hot, sunny days the sun’s rays can penetrate deep into skins tissues and destroy its natural binding elements, which keep the skin elastic.

As you may have seen on your last vacation, there are a large number of manufacturers of sunscreens. It is a best method to choose a brand that is well known or established. Those with the largest reputations usually offer the best options for your skin protection. The larger the company, the better tested the products are, which only benefits your skin.

You can try products that are non-greasy and lightweight or even ones that are scent free, the most important thing that you are looking for, however, is an effective cream. Make sure the SPF rating you are looking for is powerful enough for the amount of exposure you expect. If you are uncertain as to what rating you are looking for, err on the side of caution. It is always better that you have too much protection than too little.

The rating is not the only thing to consider when choosing the best sunscreens. Some of these creams are designed for oily skin and others for dryer complexions. Once you have tried a few of these products you will settle in on one that works the best for your skin type.

So if the climate and weather of your home town is very sunny and you spend a lot of time outdoors, make sure that you are using a daily sunscreen, you will be much happier in the end. The skin cells in your face are very soft and damage easily with prolonged exposure to sun rays. Sunscreens should be applied in the morning before leaving the house. Many products can be used by the whole family, however we recommend that you use a cream that is specifically for your skin type and that may not always apply to others in your home. Some creams can be used on all part of the body, or with treatments like laser, peels and acids. Find out the characteristics of your sunscreen and try the one that works and is best suited for your lifestyle.

Proactive skin care begins with taking protective steps and regulating lifestyles. It is not limited to applying costly skin care products. A proper diet and exercise regime can work wonders on how you look and feel, both physically and emotionally. The more caution you take to protect your skin, the better your chances of enjoying smooth, wrinkle free skin for a long time.
