Taking care of your Skin After Sun Exposure

As we approach summer in a mindset of living healthier after the year we have all had, remembering to take care of your skin before and after sun exposure is so important. We know that frequent sun exposure will show its effects later in life and this is why the young do not always take the proper care to their skin in summer because its effects are not immediate. The sun’s ultraviolet (UV) light damages the fibers in the skin which is what will eventually cause your skin to sag, stretch, and lose its ability to go back into place after stretching. The skin also takes longer to heal later in life from this damage.

SPF stands for ‘sun protective factor’ and the bigger the SPF, the more UV protection you get from the sun or ultraviolet rays. Some botanicals such as wheat germ seed oil and raspberry seed oil have natural SPF properties as high as 20-30. This means some creams can replace or enhance your sunscreens depending on the level of coverage you need.

This Ayurvedic Sun Cream Bastet’s Blend from Vedic Botanicals contains wheat germ seed oil and raspberry seed oil along with shea butter, cranberry seed oil and Essential oils of Lavender and Myrrh. This cream has a fantastic blend of antioxidant rich herbs and plant oils. The Cranberry seed oil is a great source of Vitamin E so using this cream before and after sun exposure has great benefits.
