Hello bloggers!
The weather is beautiful and everyone wants to embrace the sun. The sun is an excellent source of vitamin D which promotes healthy bone density(5-10 minutes in the sun). However while you are soaking up the sun please wear your sunscreen. Sunsceen is vital for healthy skin. It not only protects you from skin cancer(s) it also guards your skin from too much sun exposure(UVB and UVA rays) which could lead to burning and hyperpigmentation(even if your skin does not Burn, you should still wear sunscreen). Sunscreens should be worn all year round. Sunscreens that are 30 and above gives you more coverage. SPF=Sun Protection Factor this mean if your sunscreen is 30, you can stay in the sun atleast 300 minutes before burning. To understand your skin tanning or burning level check out the fitzpatrick scale at dermatologychannel.net

Don't Ever FORGET Your VITAMINS
We all know that taking vitamins is essential for healthy bodies. There are so many vitamins to consider but we will focus on on particular one for this week. Our featured vitamin will be Vitamin E(d-alpha tocopherol) Now it is important to always look for our vitamins scientific name listed because sometimes a product will say it is listed but it may be at the bottom of the list or not included at all.
Vitamin E is a natural sun protectant, it helps fight free radicals in the skin, it helps with anti-aging, it also helps to regulate vitamin A in the skin which is important for the skin, vitamin E is an antioxidant, it helps with scars, skin disorders such as eczema, psoriasis, echinacea, it helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks, sunburns, agespots, and it helps reduce water loss and strengthens the skin.
Overall Vitamin E is great for your body inside and out and it helps with many body functions and organs. However using topical Vitamin E or digesting Vitamin E will increase healthy skin. Alway use gel tablets when taking any vitamins, they should be golden dark in color and refrigerate them for longer shelf life. Please comment or email me with any questions or concerns.
