Sun poisoning

[sjw-dipper]

since it's summer and especially because the sun is so brutal right now I want to stress that EVERYONE needs to wear sunscreen. yes, everyone, this is not dependent on how much melanin is in your skin. sunscreen is not JUST for preventing the pink/red burns on pale skin (not to mention dark skin still gets burned even if it's not as visible).

sunscreen blocks ultraviolet radiation from entering the cells in your body. this radiation damages the proteins in DNA, causing cancer. skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the US and the number of people who get it worldwide increases every year as global warming gets worse and worse.

on a less lethal scale, UV radiation ages your skin unnaturally, making it wrinkly and leathery, if that's something you want to avoid. it is still damage though, make no mistake on that just because it's not cancer

it didn't occur to me people might think sunscreen only prevents burns until I offered to share mine with a black man I was lifeguarding with last summer and he told me, "my people don't need that," so now I make sure to emphasize how it protects your cells.

speaking of lifeguarding also reminds me how cloudy the pool always was. you need to apply waterproof sunscreen at least 15 minutes BEFORE getting wet otherwise it just washes right off!

TDLR: you need to wear broad-spectrum sunscreen, even if you are dark skinned! apply at least 15 minutes before getting wet! if it's a spray, rub it in, otherwise coverage will be patchy

Heard you were doing an AMA! Thank you! I have a couple of questions. What sugaring product do you recommend? What's your take on parasols, tinted sunscreens, and UV shawls? Are there any skincare products that double as makeup that you love? What's the one beauty ritual or product that never fails to make you happy? Thanks again for the AMA! Hope you're doing well! ❤️

Hi love! You're so sweet. Also, hope that you're doing well <3

For a sugaring recommendation: I love Sugardoh when I don't get it done professionally (it's a bit messy so I usually indulge in this service tbh!). I swear by Fur products for prep & aftercare regardless of the hair removal treatment I'm undergoing (their products are wonderful for all skin concerns like KP, bumpy skin, dry skin, etc.).

I personally don't use parasols or UV shawls (I couldn't be bothered tbh, but they can't hurt!). Tinted moisturizers are a great option! I love the Laura Mercier one to layer over another sunscreen but I've heard amazing things about the EltaMD one, so consider this option too! I'm more of a sunscreen, concealer, and bronzer kind of woman on a daily basis.

For a skincare product that doubles makeup: Personally, I love the Supergoop! SPF lip balm in the Lucky Me shade, Laura Mercer tinted moisturizer, and EltaMD lip balm (can't personally vouch for tinted moisturizer just yet, but check it out for sure) and Supergoop! Glowscreen Body SPF 40 for evening/cocktail hour type, dinners, or similar events for when the sun is setting/I want some shimmer to compliment an occasion look.

Beauty ritual or product I swear by: I would say using Wander Beauty eye patches. Personally, I love the experience of getting my nails done – I find it calming even if the result is the best part. My favorite ritual of all time is a luxurious hotel massage, but I only do those 1-2 times a year. The frequency of those indulgences will hopefully increase over the years.

Hope this was helpful! xx

Always carry sunscreen when you go out-sometimes people don’t realize they are getting burnt. ESPECIALLY WOMEN (tank tops, midriff, tied up hair exposing neck) !!! Applying sunscreen on a strangers shoulders when they say please should be normal. Sunscreen shouldn’t be so expensive nor difficult and inconveniencing to apply. If you have ever thought -“That woman needs sunscreen” THEN go offer her some. She probably has no clue-maybe she ran out, maybe she totally forgot- or maybe she doesn’t use sunscreen and offering her some will help form a healthy habit from a spontaneous positive experience

Age-Defying Beauty: Skin Tightening Solutions for Every Skin Type

Skin tightening is a universal desire that transcends age, gender, and skin type. As we age, our skin inevitably loses some of its youthful elasticity, leading to sagging, wrinkles, and fine lines. However, the good news is that there are skin tightening solutions available to address the unique needs of every skin type. Whether you have dry, oily, sensitive, or combination skin, understanding the right approach is key to achieving the firmer and more youthful appearance you desire.

Dry Skin: Hydration and Nourishment

Individuals with dry skin often experience more pronounced signs of aging due to the skin's reduced ability to retain moisture. To tighten and rejuvenate dry skin:

Rich Moisturizers: Choose moisturizers with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides. These ingredients help lock in moisture and improve skin texture.

Nourishing Oils: Incorporate facial oils, such as argan oil or jojoba oil, into your skincare routine to replenish lost moisture and promote skin elasticity.

Collagen-Boosting Serums: Look for serums containing collagen-boosting ingredients like vitamin C, peptides, and retinol to enhance skin firmness.

Oily Skin: Balancing and Tightening

Oily skin can still experience sagging and loss of firmness. The key is to balance excess oil production while tightening the skin:

Oil-Free Moisturizers: Opt for lightweight, oil-free moisturizers to provide hydration without exacerbating oiliness.

Salicylic Acid: Incorporate products with salicylic acid to help control excess oil and improve skin texture.

Non-Comedogenic Products: Choose skincare products labeled as non-comedogenic to prevent clogged pores while addressing skin tightening concerns.

Sensitive Skin: Gentle Approaches

Sensitive skin requires extra care and gentle solutions to avoid irritation while achieving skin tightening:

Fragrance-Free Products: Use fragrance-free, hypoallergenic skincare products to reduce the risk of irritation.

Mild Exfoliation: Opt for gentle exfoliation methods, like enzyme masks or lactic acid, to promote skin renewal without causing redness.

Patch Testing: Before incorporating new products, patch test them to ensure they don't trigger adverse reactions.

Combination Skin: Targeted Care

Combination skin requires a balanced approach, addressing both oily and dry areas, to achieve skin tightening:

Zone-Specific Products: Use different products for the oily and dry areas of your face. For example, apply a lighter moisturizer on the oily zones and a richer one on the dry zones.

Spot Treatments: Target specific areas with skin tightening serums or treatments, focusing on the regions that need the most attention.

Balancing Masks: Consider using masks designed to balance combination skin, which often combines clay and hydrating ingredients.

Normal Skin: Maintenance and Prevention

While normal skin types may not have extreme concerns, maintaining skin elasticity is essential for long-term skin health:

Preventive Care: Implement a preventative approach by using sunscreen daily to protect against UV damage, which accelerates skin aging.

Collagen-Boosting Ingredients: Use products containing collagen-boosting ingredients like vitamin A, vitamin C, and peptides to maintain skin firmness.

Regular Skincare Routine: Stick to a consistent skincare routine that includes cleansing, moisturizing, and using targeted treatments for your specific skin tightening needs.

Mature Skin: Advanced Treatments

Mature skin often requires more advanced skin tightening solutions to address deeper wrinkles and sagging:

Retinoids: Incorporate prescription-strength retinoids or retinol products to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture.

Professional Treatments: Consider non-invasive treatments like radiofrequency therapy or ultrasound therapy, which can provide noticeable skin tightening results.

Consult with Professionals: Schedule consultations with dermatologists or skincare experts to explore customized solutions, such as chemical peels or microdermabrasion.

Conclusion

Achieving skin tightening for every skin type is not only possible but essential for maintaining a youthful appearance and promoting skin health. By tailoring your skincare routine to your specific skin type and concerns, you can effectively address sagging, wrinkles, and loss of firmness. Remember that consistency and patience are key to achieving and maintaining skin tightening results. Consulting with skincare professionals can also provide valuable insights and guidance on the most suitable treatments for your unique skin type. Whether your skin is dry, oily, sensitive, combination, normal, or mature, there are solutions available to help you achieve the firm and radiant skin you desire.
