Yoga Poses For Glowing Skin

[music] hello i'm dr. neal schultz [pause] and welcome to dermtv.

Yoga Poses For Glowing Skin, in honor of may being skin cancer awarenessmonth, i’m going to give you a few tips and remindersfor easy and effective sun protection. but note that i didn’t say anything aboutsun avoidance.

i never tell my patients not to go in thesun. i nstead, i tell them how to protect themselveswhile they’re in it. and this is so important because unprotectedsun exposure is the only way you can get premature skinaging, whether it’s lines, wrinkles, brown spots,broken capillaries, or even skin cancer. the first and most important rule of effectivesun protection is that you need to wear sunscreen all dayand every day, rain or shine, winter or summer.

you see, even on a rainy or overcast day, 30% of the damaging uv rays comes throughthe clouds. and the other reason you need it all day,every day, is because, if you will, imagine that there’sa little meter in your skin that records every second andevery minute of sun exposure… and it’s always running. uv damage adds up. 5 ten minutes walks towork without sunscreen is the same as 50 unprotectedminutes at the beach. second, the sunscreen needs to have an spfbetween 15 and 30,

which tells you that you’re getting between 88 and 95% protection from the burning uvbrays. it also needs to be labeled either “withuva protection” or “with broad-spectrum protection”, whichmeans it’s protecting you against uva rays thatcontribute to skin cancer and premature skin aging. forexample, these garnier, eucerin and neutragena sunscreens– going from spf 15 to 30 – all fit thesecriteria. third you need to reapply your sunscreen everytwo-to-three hours,

and immediately after sweating or swimming. and last, make sure you put enough on: if you’re using regular, traditional carbon-basedsunscreens, it takes about an ounce to cover your entirebody. and if you’re using chem-free sunscreenswith zinc or titanium, you need less… probably a third as much. now in the spirit of reminding you to usesunscreen everyday, i want to try something new. head over to my dermtv facebook page -
