Makeup alone will not provide adequate protection from the sun. You may think that your cosmetics are effectively blocking the suns rays, but they are not. To be certain that you are getting adequate protection, choose cosmetics that incorporate UV filters or apply a moisturizer with a minimum SPF of 15 before putting on your makeup. It is important to include daily UV protection into your skin care regimen to prevent the premature aging of your skin. Features of sun-damaged skin include dark patches, age spots, and fine lines and wrinkles. If the combined effects of aging and the sun are already a reality, foundations and powders are great ways to even out imperfections and discolorations to improve the appearance of your skin. Advanced formulas combine active ingredients, such as vitamins and minerals, for nutritive and cosmetic benefits.
