The Skin FIRST Movement’s August Update {Giveaway}
Saturday, August 21, 2010 Posted by Jolly Mom
As the end of Summer gets closer, it is imperative that we continue to keep our skin a priority. Skin health is important YEAR ROUND and that is really the message behind the Eucerin Skin FIRST movement that I am so proud to be a part of. Eucerin has provided some excellent info this month that I hope will encourage all of us to take care of ourselves!
Late summer highlights an important theme in the Skin FIRST movement; the dichotomy of risks and benefits of the sun’s warming rays. Though it provides us with vitamin D and a healthy outwards appearance, the sun’s rays can also inflict damage over both the short-term as well as over the course of our lifetime. Although sunburns and sunstroke are the most evident signs of over-exposure to the sun, we also have to be aware of the cumulative effects of sun exposure over the course of our lifetimes. In fact, up to 80 percent of our lifetime sun exposure is reached by the age of 20. But as we get older, we have a naturally decreasing ability to repair the damage caused by sun exposure. We have to take additional steps to properly maintain our skin as it becomes increasingly easier for it to burn, wrinkle and develop cancers.
Even as our largest organ, we sometimes forget that our skin is our first line of defense against infections and diseases. Over time, sun exposure can actually weaken our skin and suppress our immune systems. This leaves our bodies more vulnerable to both skin diseases like cancer as well as viruses that can take advantage of our sun-weakened skin.
Like all aspects of our health though, we can still achieve a balance between the risks and benefits of the sun. We are dedicating this month’s update to ways we can both offset the damaging effects of the sun and enhance skin health – a regular skincare routine can lead to more than just cosmetic benefits.
Balancing Exposure to the Sun
While basking in the sun can feel replenishing and bring us a sense of both mental and physical renewal, the amount of vitamin D our bodies need on a daily basis can absorbed in just the first 15 minutes of our exposure to the sun. Understanding the factors affecting our skin’s reaction to the sun can help us plan our time in the sun.
• FACTOR #1 - SUNLIGHT
o The strength of sunlight is the main factor for the quantity of UV radiation your skin can be exposed to. Latitude, altitude, time of day, season and cloud coverage can all have a dramatic effect on the sun’s impact on our skin. Even reflected sunlight from windows, pavement, water, snow and sand can raise the risk of overexposure.
• FACTOR #2 - SKIN COLOR
o As skin color is determined by the amount of melanin present in the skin, ethnicity can also play a large role in sun exposure. Often a result of a group’s distance from the equator (and its stronger sunlight), darker skins are more resistant to the effects of sunlight than fairer skins. African-Americans, for example, are 20 times less likely to develop melanoma than those with white skin. Conversely, one study found that African-American women aged 15 to 49 have more than 20 times the risk of vitamin D deficiency than Caucasians. Different skin colors will react to UV rays at different speeds. So one should be mindful of her skin’s susceptibilities when considering her exposure time or adding protection.
• FACTOR #3 – SUNSCREEN
o The strength of sunscreen is determined by its Sun Protection Factor (SPF), a number that measures the amount of UV radiation required to sunburn with the sunscreen on, relative to the amount that would burn skin without it. For example, SPF-15 allows about 1/15 (about 6%) of the UV rays that would penetrate the skin without the sunscreen on. SPF-30 would allow 1/30 (about 3%) and so on.
Use August to Renew Our Collective Commitment to Healthy Skin
With the end of summer almost upon us, many of us look for ways to make sure the sense of freedom and relaxation we find outdoors stays with us in the coming months. This makes August an ideal time to look for ways to enrich your whole self, physically and mentally.
Eucerin wants to help you do that. The first step is to take the Skin FIRST pledge. Even if you’ve already taken it, you can do it again and enlist your friends in the Skin FIRST movement by having them take the pledge with you through our new Facebook application. Visit http://facbeook.com/eucerinus today and take the pledge to put the health of your skin FIRST.
As always, we want to help you put the health of your skin first. Thanks for taking the time to read and remember to stay beautiful – inside and out!

Thanks for the giveaway...The strength of sunlight / UV radiation exposure on your skin depends on many factors: latitude, altitude, time of day, season, cloud coverage, and even reflected sunlight from windows, pavement, water, snow and sand can raise the risk of overexposure.

I read this that explains what SPF is and how it's figured. "The strength of sunscreen is determined by its Sun Protection Factor (SPF), a number that measures the amount of UV radiation required to sunburn with the sunscreen on, relative to the amount that would burn skin without it. For example, SPF-15 allows about 1/15 (about 6%) of the UV rays that would penetrate the skin without the sunscreen on. SPF-30 would allow 1/30 (about 3%) and so on."
