This Skin Was Meant To Be Baked... Yours Was Not!Okay, we admit it. This is the time of year when skin practitioners freak out a bit. During the winter months, we can usually keep it together. But now? Not so much. Everywhere we look we see women and men frying their skin in the name of...…”looking good.”

Hip. Chic. Cool. Sexy. Awesome..... Whatever.

And it doesn’t matter what we say, what statistics we quote, some people feel the insane urge to bake like a potato in the sun.

So be it.

That’s why this year we’re simply going to answer the two skin condition questions we hear the most this time of year.

“What are these brown spots on my hands and face? They seem like they’re getting worse. How do I get rid of them?”

These spots go by various common names, age spots, liver spots, sunspots, and more.

They are mainly caused by overexposure to the sun. Ultraviolet light causes overstimulation of melanocyte cells; they lump together and show up as age spots. Age spots seem to get worse in the summer months. Actually, just more of their friends show up to the party. The more you see.... the more evidence of sun damage.

What can you do? Firstly, keep your skin protected with sunscreen to limit overexposure to the sun. Next, consider a good home care regime, laser, skin peels or IPL to fade out those little guys.

But remember, with continued over exposure to the sun, age spots will come back and bring their friends!

“My cheeks are reddish and I don’t have rosacea or sunburn. What’s going on?”

Usually these are damaged capillaries and the causes are many, chief among them is overexposure to the sun. Extremes in

temperature spread these tired, worn out capillaries, as does, aggressive over-exfoliation. Remember to keep your skin protected with a sunscreen at all times to reduce spreading them. Wear a hat! Again, laser or IPL are excellent choices of treatment.

There you have it, the two biggest questions about conditions involving skin. And wouldn’t you know it; both conditions involve overexposure to the sun.

Don’t forget! When it comes to sun damage and skin cancer, prevention is better than a cure, so be sure to minimise your sun exposure and premature ageing by always applying a broad spectrum SPF50+ sunscreen.

Even the most UV-conscious people find it hard to escape

the harsh Aussie sun. Not only can it cause horrific burns and

embarrassing tan lines, overexposure can affect us in more

permanent ways that can cause us to age prematurely.

Here’s the low-down on being sun smart and the key to staying

young in the Aussie sun.

Sun Facts

• Australia has very, very... very high UV radiation

• Australia has one of the highest skin cancer patients in the world

• The Australian sun is strong enough to cause a sunburn in just

11 minutes

• Suntan and sunburn are both familiar effects of UV

over-exposure

How to be Sun Smart

• Always seek professional advice before choosing a suitable sunscreen. When it feels great, you will use it!

• Apply broad spectrum SPF50+ sunscreen to your skin 20 minutes prior to leaving the house.

• Reapply sunscreen straight after swimming to dry skin

• Compliment your sunscreen with an umbrella, hat, sunglasses and clothing

• Observe the UV index and protect yourself accordingly

• Always stay well hydrated – your skin will thank you!
