Makeup Articles - Sun Protection

Lying in the sun undoubtedly makes you look good and feel better, but remember that you are under attack from heat and ultraviolet rays. Sunlight breaks down collagen and elastic fibres and damages the skin cells (UVA rays lead to ageing, UVB to burning), and while olive skin is less at risk from damage, it still requires a sunscreen. The single worst thing you can do to your skin is overexpose it to the sun. Ninety per cent of the damage seen on the skin in the form of ageing (lines, wrinkles, discoloration) is due to sun exposure.
