After months of miserable weather, we’re finally seeing some sunshine and it’s only natural that we take advantage of the sun while it is out. Although some of us may be underestimating what the rays of the sun can do towards our skin! Studies shows 1 out of 5 actually wear sun protection daily. For women, most foundations and moisturizers retailed today contain at least SPF 15, although anything lower than SPF 15 is not worth protecting. It should be known that the sun is responsible for most signs of aging, and defending your skin from its rays keeps your skin looking younger, longer. At least 80 percent of aging is due to sun exposure.
We’ve learned that the sun has some benefits on our skin. The sun’s ultra violet rays help generate vitamin D in our body, though this only works if you are sitting directly under the sun and not behind glass windows. Vitamin D helps prevent depression, osteoporosis and breast cancer. It also aids in lowering your cholesterol, blood pressure and even affects obesity and diabetes. Even though the sun benefits us in many ways, too much exposure can cause serious damage to your skin. So make sure to wear your sunscreen every day, even when the sun is not visible! No matter what kind of weather it is, UV rays are always there. In fact, the exposure through the clouds can even be more significant than blue skies. This is why everyone should wear sunblock daily, including the winter time. Applying sunscreen can essentially help protect your skin from getting sunburned. Other than being painful, sunburns can be associated with increasing your risk for melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer. Daily sun protection can help you prevent wrinkles, unwanted UV exposure and even skin cancer. The earlier and more often people apply sunscreen to protect their skin from the sun rays, the more they lower their risks of getting this disease. Sunscreen is more important than you think.

Chicago Arm Lift Surgery!
A new study shows that arm lifts have become one of the fastest growing types of plastic surgery today. Men and women are paying more attention on their arms in general and are becoming more aware of options to treat this area. For most women, the arms have always been an upsetting area. However, along with exercise and a proper diet, an arm lift can help refine them.
Arm lift or Brachioplasty is a surgery that is designed to improve the contour of the upper arm. Often times after a person loses a significant amount of weight, they are left with loose sagging skin around the upper arm between the armpits and elbows. Arm lift surgery enables surgeons to remove excess skin giving you firmer and more slender arms. This procedure is perfect for individuals who are looking for more toned, proportionate and younger appearance.
