How can I keep my skin glowing and smooth in the summer?

CBlackfire: How can I keep my skin glowing and smooth in the summer?
I like to go to the beach, and LOVE the sun. I know that it is bad and can cause pre-mature aging, like wrinkles and crows feet. What can I do to prevent the wrinkles and discolored skin when I go outside and into the summer sun? And I’m not a huge fan of the ‘wear sunglasses when you tan’ thing. Doesn’t it make those hideous sunglasses-print on your skin so you have pale skin where your sunglasses used to be? HELP!

Answer by aloegirl
When your skin absorbs the sun’s rays, those rays actually damage the DNA in your skin’s cells. This damage causes the cells to become dysfunctional. Dysfunctional cells don’t behave properly, the results of which include a reduction in the production of collagen and elastin (the substances in the skin that support it and make it plump and healthy), a thinning of the top layer of skin, a halt in the skin’s natural ability to slough off its dead layers, and a rise in pigmentation. In the worst cases, these dysfunctional cells can become
cancerous.

What You Can Do to Reverse the Damage
Believe it or not, there are several types of products you can use to reverse sun damage. They include:
• Wearing sunscreen everyday. By doing so, you’ll protect your skin from further damage, and halt any early changes in the skin that may be occurring. In fact, a study in Australia showed that simply using sunscreen can reverse the activity of precancerous cells. Use an SPF of at least 15 daily.
• Using topical retinoids. Prescription Vitamin A products like Retin-A have been proven to normalize the damaged cells in sun-damaged skin. Using Retin-A can plump up the cells in the top layer of skin, revive depleted collagen and elastin, increase blood flow to the skin, and slough off dull, dead skin cells..
• Trying topical green tea and Vitamin C. These ingredients are antioxidants, which neutralize the toxic by-products created in the skin when it’s exposed to sun. And according to the Amercian Academy of Dermatology, studies of topical green tea have shown it
to inhibit the growth of cancerous cells.
• Using topical peptides. . Peptides, specifically, are chains of amino acids that induce a specific response to the skin. In other words, they tell the skin to repair it’s self. Peptides are the newest ingredient in the fight against aging and sun damage.
. Aloe Vera – Natural is better. Today many ancient tales of the healing powers of Aloe Vera are factual, rather than fanciful, as modern medicine unlocks the secrets contained within the leaves. The gel appears to contain a “WOUND HORMONE” that accelerates the rates of healing of injured surfaces. Scientists have found that the Aloe Vera “GEL” is a diverse mixture of ANTIBIOTIC, ASTRINGENT, COAGULATING AGENT, PAIN INHIBITOR, CELL GROWTH STIMULATOR and SCAR INHIBITOR.
Although Scientists have not yet discovered all the secrets of why Aloe Vera works – they do realize that it is the “Specific Mixture of the Ingredients” in Aloe Vera that is responsible for giving the plant it’s wide range of healing powers.
