WEAR SUNSCREEN. EVERY SINGLE DAY
Growing up, I would attempt to tan myself on family vacations to which my Dad would demand I put sunscreen on, my response was always, “but I want to get a little tan.” My Dad, the witty man that he is, would reply, “so you just want a little bit of skin cancer?” This now has become a running joke in my family and it wasn’t until I saw the effects the sun was making on my chest that I became a believer in sunscreen too.
The sun is hot. Like really freaking hot and you know this but yet you sometimes walk outside without sunscreen on! You wouldn’t get into a car without a seatbelt, so start thinking of sunscreen as your seatbelt — it keeps you safe from the dangers of the sun.
Every time your skin get’s sunburn, just like a real burn, it causes damage to the skin cells DNA and makes it hard from them to repair themselves into their original form.
You should be wearing sunscreen everyday. Pierce always tells me that there’s sunscreen in his moisturizer, and while that may be true, it is not enough!! Invest in a good sunscreen and put it on every morning this helps prevent aging because you are creating a barrier between your skin and the dangers of the sun.
