With Denver's elevation at 5,280 ft we are a LOT closer to the sun than our friends at sea level. This means the suns rays are much stronger and more powerful in Denver. Applying sunscreen in the morning and throughout the day is vital to protecting our skin!
Are you an active Coloradan? Hiking, biking, and trail running are all fun spring and summer activities but the tan lines from our athletic clothes are not. When you are on the mountain, you are EVEN CLOSER to the sun than when you are in the city. Lather on some sunscreen so you can trail run or mountain bike without worrying about how your tan lines will look at your sisters wedding.
We say it again and again but wearing sunscreen helps reduce the risk of premature aging of the skin. Weather it is mid-April, December, or July taking care of your skin year around is important to minimize your aging and keep you looking young!
We all think it won't happen to us but skin cancer is a reality for many people. Even though the sun is most harmful to us during the peak hours or 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. any exposure to sunlight during the day can be harmful to our skin and can contribute to skin cancer later in life. This same principle holds true for sun exposure during off peak months like November - April. Even on a cloudy day, you can still be exposed to harmful rays.
At AOB Med Spa, we pride ourselves in offering great sun protection solutions. We carry several zinc based formulas from brands like Elta MD, SkinCeuticals, Obagi and IS Clinical. Zinc and titanium dioxide act as a physical block against harmful UVA and UVB rays.
