Beautiful Orlando - The Importance of wearing sunscreen and benefits of Elta MD 

Elta MD Sunscreen and every day importance of wearing sunscreen in Florida

Living in Central Florida - also known as the Sunshine State we're used to sunshine and sunburns; but that doesn't mean we should leave our skin unprotected. 

Sunscreen is so important for daily use all over your body but especially on the Face and Neck areas. There are hundreds of sunscreens out there but at Beautiful Orlando we offer Elta MD sunscreen. 

Our patients love how this sunscreen helps calm and protect sensitive skin types prone to breakouts, rosacea and discoloration. How? It contains some of the same ingredients found in your anti-aging creams and serums that help reduce the appearance of blemishes, discoloration and photo damage. Here’s a quick breakdown of what these ingredients are:

Zinc oxide: A natural mineral compound that works as a sunscreen agent by reflecting and scattering UVA and UVB rays

Niacinamide (vitamin B3): Anti-inflammatory that reduces redness and minimizes the appearance of dry or damaged skin and restores suppleness. 

Hyaluronic Acid: Humectant that attracts and retains moisture, improving skin feel and restoring suppleness

Vitamin E: Antioxidant that reduces free radicals to help diminish the visible signs of aging

On top of that, this formula is also fragrance-free, oil-free, paraben-free, sensitivity-free and noncomedogenic, which makes it a good choice for those with sensitive skin and it is also -

1. Recommended by physicians and estheticians.

2. It’s great for those with oily and acne-prone skin.

3. It works for those with rosacea too.

4. It doesn’t irritate sensitized skin.

5. It helps lighten acne marks and other dark spots.

6. It works well alone or under makeup.

7. It doesn’t leave a ghastly white cast.

8. Even men love it.

9. It’s great for everyday use.

Whether you prefer to use an Elta MD Sunscreen or not, the importance of wearing it is what matters. Why? -

It Protects Your Skin from UV Rays: The depletion of the ozone layer has increased our risk of sun damage from harmful UV rays. Sunscreen blocks these rays, greatly reducing the likelihood of sunburn. 

It Lowers Your Skin Cancer Risk: By applying sunscreen each day, you cut your risk of contracting skin cancers in half.

It Prevents Premature Aging of the Skin: Sun damage from UV rays causes photoaging of the skin, which is characterized by a thick, leathery look; discoloration; and a breakdown of collagen, which contributes to lines, sagging and wrinkles. Studies show that those below age 55 who apply sunscreen regularly have 24 percent less chance of developing these signs of aging than those who don’t.

It Helps Maintain an Even Skin Tone: Sunscreen helps prevent discoloration and dark spots from sun damage, helping you maintain a smoother and more even skin tone, which is especailly important during these Summer months in Central Florida!
