June newsletter
Boy this year is going by fast and summer starts this month on June 28th! Are you prepared with sunscreen? I want everybody to be safe, protect your skin not only against sun damage, skin cancer but also hyperpigmentation which is much harder to remove than to prevent.
I will be attending the IESCS show in Las Vegas this month to attend classes and see everything that is new in the skin care industry. Cant wait to share what I learn and see.
With Summer 2011 and sunny days quickly approaching, I wanted to remind you how protective Phyto-C Vitamin C Serums are. Below is an short summary of a few of the benefits* of Phyto-C's naturally-stable Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid) serums, -- the only naturally-stable L-Ascorbic Acid available anywhere (developed by Dr. Mostafa Omar, Ph.D.)
Benefits of naturally-stable, topical, L-Ascorbic Acid:
- Extremely strong antioxidant
- Protects against UVA and UVB damage (photo aging and skin cancer)
- Penetrates the skin: cannot be washed or rubbed off
- Stays in skin up to 72 hours
- Stimulates collagen synthesis
- Tightens skin
- Enhances elasticity
- Lightens skin
- Blocks melanin formation
- Vitamins C and E and A combined offers greater UV protection - than Vitamin C or E or A alone
- Vitamins C and E combined provide protection against thymine dimer formation (believed responsible for mutations in DNA, skin cancers.)
Combined with other natural products -- can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, treat acne, stretch marks, scar tissue - and maximize the results of an effective anti-aging regimen.

Are You Confused About Sunscreen??
Well if you said "yes" you are not alone. I think it is one of the most confusing and misleading subjects out there. This is my opinion from all the research I have done:
There is a difference between chemical sunscreens and physical blocks. Chemical sunscreens contain chemicals which have been found to be more harmful than the sun exposure by itself. Physical blocks normally contain a titanium dioxide/zinc combination that reflects both types of rays (UVA and UVB) while also giving you a beautiful, glowing and healthy tan.
I am not a fan of chemical sunscreen, I feel that we are bombarding our body with chemicals which have to absorb into our skin in order to work and what does our body have to do to get rid of it? It has to be processed through our kidneys and liver (which already has a tough enough job), it also collects in our fat cells which leads to cellulite and trapped toxins in our lymphatic system. If you do choose to use chemical sunscreens please don’t be fooled into the "higher the SPF the better....", anything over a 30 SPF is just more chemicals without a significant increase in protection.
Remember that sunscreens block your body’s natural production of vitamin D. But in situations where you must be out in the sun long enough to burn, be sure to use a product that protects against both UVA and UVB, such as Natural Sunscreen (physical blocks), which uses a titanium dioxide/zinc combination that reflects both types of rays.

How to Select Sunscreen
The choice of sunscreens can be overwhelming, especially during the summer months. Walk down any store aisle stocked with sunscreen, and you may see SPFs that range from single to triple digits. Some sunscreens offer broad-spectrum protection. Others include insect repellant. You also are likely to find some bottles labeled sunscreen, while others read sunspray, suncream, or sunblock. Our 4-point checklist tells you what to look for.
4-Point Checklist
 | SPF of 30 or greater Short for “Sun Protection Factor,” the SPF tells you how well a product blocks ultraviolet B (UVB) rays, also known as the rays that cause sunburn. An SPF of 15 screens 93% of the UVB rays and an SPF of 30 screens 97% of the UVB rays. While a sunscreen with a higher SPF can be beneficial for people with very fair complexions and those visiting a tropical or sun-intense region, even sunscreen with an extremely high SPF cannot screen out 100% of UVB rays. |
SPF does not equal how many hours one can stay in the sun without burning. To protect your skin, sunscreen must be reapplied approximately every 2 hours even on cloudy days — and after swimming, sweating, or toweling off. |
| Broad-spectrum protection Since SPF only indicates UVB protection, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends broad-spectrum sunscreen. “Broad spectrum” means the sunscreen also offers protection from ultraviolet A (UVA) rays, which are the rays that age the skin. The label may say, “broad spectrum” or “UVA and UVB protection.” UVA protection is extremely important. UVA rays penetrate the skin more deeply than UVB rays. Exposure to UVA can lead to wrinkles and other signs of aging. Both UVA and UVB rays can cause skin cancer. Be sure to purchase a sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum protection. |
| Water-resistant All sunscreens wash, rub, or sweat off, so there really is no such thing as “waterproof” sunscreen. A sunscreen can be “water-resistant.” This means the product stays on the skin longer if it gets wet. You will need to reapply water-resistant sunscreen, too. Be sure to reapply approximately every 2 hours and after swimming, sweating, and toweling off. Each time you apply the sunscreen, be sure to apply generously. |
| Make sure you like the product Dermatologists often say that the best sunscreen is the one that you will use. Whether you buy a lotion, spray, gel, wax stick, or cream really is a matter of personal preference. Just make sure that you like it. |
********************
Other Tips
- Buy a product for your lips. Skin cancer can develop on the lips, too — and be quite aggressive. The thought of applying the sunscreen that you just rubbed on the rest of your skin can be unappealing. Some sun-protection products are formulated specifically for the lips, and some lip balms offer sun protection. Be sure to select one that offers an SPF of at least 30 and broad-spectrum protection.
- Buy insect repellant separately. While a product that contains insect repellant and sunscreen can be convenient, dermatologists generally recommend buying sunscreen and insect repellant separately. Sunscreens should be applied liberally approximately every 2 hours, but insect repellant should be applied sparingly every 6 hours. Applying a product that contains insect repellant too often can increase the risk of toxicity. Waiting 6 hours to reapply sunscreen limits sun protection.
- Makeup with an SPF has limits. Makeup that offers an SPF of 30 or greater and broad-spectrum coverage is ideal for incidental sun exposure (exposure you get every day without thinking about it, such as walking to and from your car).
If you expect to be in the sun for longer than 10 to 15 minutes, dermatologists generally recommend applying sunscreen under your makeup — even if the makeup has an SPF. The sunscreen should offer an SPF of 30 or greater, UVA and UVB protection, and water resistance. And, yes, the sunscreen should be reapplied approximately every 2 hours and after sweating, swimming, or toweling off. Sunscreen tends to break down over time and rub off with normal wear.********************
Sun exposure is the most preventable risk factor for all skin cancers, including melanoma. It is important to know that wearing sunscreen alone does not offer 100% protection from the sun. Seeking shade during peak daylight hours and wearing sun protective clothing also are important.
