SPF? Apa yang penting sangat??

Banyak orang tidak memakai UV cream kerana alasan kosmetik dan ekonomi atau mereka menggunakan cuma sedikit UV cream sehingga tidak mencapai faktor perlindungan surya (SPF). Apa itu SPF?

SPF
SPF adalah “short form” dari Suncreen Protection Factor atau faktor pelindung dari sinar matahari. Setiap produk kosmetik dan UV cream biasanya mencantumkan angka yang menunjukkan tingkat SPF, misalnya SPF 15, SPF 30, dan seterusnya. Tingkatan SPF menentukan waktu perlindungan bagi kulit anda berada di bawah sinaran matahari. Misalnya UV cream dengan SPF 15 bererti kulit anda akan dilindungi selama 15 kali lebih lama dari daya tahan semulajadi kulit anda. Jika kulit anda biasanya mengalami kemerahan selepas 10 minit berjemur sinar matahari maka dengan memakai UV cream SPF 15, kulit anda terlindung selama 15x10 minit iaitu 150 minit.

Hmmm.... baru i tau... sebelum ni, i sendiri pun memang tak ambik berat langsung.

Gold is not only used as an accessory?

 The Benefits of Gold

Just when you thought a facial couldn’t be any more of a luxury, a three year study has come up with a gold-leaf process which recreates the golden mask of Cleopatra for today’s woman. The greatest cosmetologists, scientists and researchers worked together using their knowledge and experience to create the most unique and advanced cosmetic formula.

Throughout history, gold has been recognized for its luxurious and beautifying properties. In ancient Chinese medicine gold was a key to youth, as queens used a gold massage roller on their face every day. These gold facials were also used in ancient Indian culture and are said to firm the skin, give it a glow and reduce wrinkles.

Under the action of gold a higher amount of blood is brought in the area, speeding up cellular processes and activating regeneration. Moreover, gold action is closely connected with the electrons present in the cells that are sensitive to electric charges; these ions will become active under the influence of it and recreate broken cellular connections. That way the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is diminished with each treatment.

In terms of benefits within the deep cellular levels, gold is well reputed for restoring the lost elasticity properties of the tissues. Gold slows down collagen depletion and the breakdown of elastin to prevent sagging skin. It stimulates cellular growth of the basal layer to regenerate healthy, firm skin cells and provide a tightening effect.

Gold reduces the appearance of sun damage and age spots:

Since 1929 Gold has been successfully used to treat rheumatoid arthritis by reducing inflammation. Gold’s anti-inflammatory properties also decrease skin inflammation, thereby slowing down melanin secretion and reducing age spots.
Minerals contained in Gold is well known for it’s anti aging qualities and thought to have numerous healing benefits that have been used for centuries by the oriental cultures. It is good to know that this is a solution for all skin and wrinkles types. It also can be used as a preventative treatment in order to maintain a healthy young & radiant looking skin.

There you have it - all the information you need to know why gold is used in skin care products.

What is Hydroquinone?

Hydroquinone is a chemical used incardboards, photography and bleaching products such as hair bleaching products. It causes redness of the skin (have you ever experienced the burning sensation and itchiness of skin when walking under direct sunlight?) and skin peeling (most users have mistaken this by skin rejuvenation, which is WRONG).
Without realizing this problem, long term of usage may cause skin cancer as the skin melanin thins out making the skin unprotected from the harmful UV rays.
And stopping of usage will cause skin to be thick, uneven skin-tone and dark-patches.
