Sunscreen On A Cloudy Day. It’s advice that every Skinlover has heard since they were kids: if you’re going to the beach, wear sunscreen! And why not? It makes sense: it helps you prevent skin cancer, the harmful exposure to direct sunlight on the beach, or just the sun raining on your parade in general. But did you know that sunshine isn’t the only reason you should wear sunscreen? That’s right – sometimes clouds aren’t enough to guard you from the sun’s harmful effects. Here are 4 sun myths that a lot of us still believe – and how they’ve been debunked.

It’s what you can’t see Contrary to popular belief, it isn’t actually the sun’s heat or the light that can cause skin cancer – it’s UV rays, an invisible radiation that passes through our atmosphere and onto the surface. Clouds can actually enhance effects of UV radiation Clouds are your best friend if you want the sun out of your eyes – but for your skin, not so much.

Turns out the history is more interesting than you’d think. Not lipstick First of all, it’s important to remember what makes lip gloss different from lipstick – the reason why they were invented in the first place. Lipstick was seen as something too opaque and tended to stand out on occasion, which was fine. Thanks, Poland! Glitz, glamour, and cinema Not just for women More than just a look Today, while lip gloss is still a staple for giving lips that subtle shine and shimmer, they also do much more than just making you look fabulous.

This Formula Keeps Your Skin Healthy. Our skin has a lot of ways to keep itself looking as fresh and fabulous as we need it to be – but sometimes, it’s not enough. For example, you regularly shed dead skin while going through your life because it gets old or damaged, but the memo doesn’t really get through sometimes – and you end up with flaking, dry and dead skin. Fortunately for all Skinlovers out there, these skincare items are just the thing to come to your rescue – exfoliants! Do it like the Egyptians The first instances of exfoliation being used as cosmetic tools was with the ancient Egyptians, who had already known the effects of keeping yourself looking fresh, fab and fierce (remember that girl Cleopatra?) What’s supposed to happen Your skin isn’t exactly as permanent as you think. What happens when that doesn’t happen Every few weeks, your skin undergoes a process called “desquamation”, where your skin literally sheds itself.

Enter exfoliation Vitamins to the rescue. A Brief History Of Concealers. Sometimes, blemishes can’t be avoided. And for any Skinlover, this means that always looking your best gets a little more complicated. We all have our off days, but that doesn’t mean the fab needs to stop there! There’s plenty of stuff we can use to make sure we’re at our most beautiful, but one thing stands head and shoulders above the rest. We’re talking about concealers: that magical stick in every makeup bag that can make all those nasty blemishes fly away. Here’s a couple of interesting things that you may not have known about concealers.

It was known as camouflage makeup Before the term “concealer” was coined, there were several brands of makeup that were being used to hide blemishes such as birth defects, scars and suntans.
