Internal SPF for Ultimate Skin Protection 

 Summer is in full swing now, and UV indexes have been reaching an all-time high hovering between 9, 10, and even 11 this past weekend alone!

And with summer wardrobes revolving around swimsuits, shorts, sundresses and flip flops, the skin is exposed to the sun and free radicals which can accelerate the breakdown of collagen and elastin. The result can be fine lines, age spots, blotchiness and even worse, skin cancer.

 The most common way to protect yourself from these skin assailants is through topical broad-spectrum SPF creams. Yet Howard Murad, M.D., FAAD, Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine at UCLA and founder of Murad Inc., reveals that eating your way to environmental protection can decrease your chances of environmental damage and increase your cellular health.

 He explains how consuming proper plant-based foods can create a powerful reinforcing form of protection during the warmer months. “Individuals encounter sun damage every day, merely walking outside during their lunch breaks or driving in their cars,” says Dr. Murad.

“Although daily SPF moisturizers and creams are essential, it is helpful to double up on your sun protection through internal resources.” Dr. Murad has discovered and scientifically tested a regimen of foods that contain SPF enhancing elements. These “superfoods” can be found in many of Murad’s topical formulas.

But, users can also reap their benefits by incorporating them in to their daily diets.

 For sun and free radical protection, try consuming the following foods:

 Foods rich in Polyphenols Polyphenols provide anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative protection to fend off free radicals. · Pomegranates · Cranberries · Blueberries · Green tea Fruits and Vegetables with Carotenoids Carotenoids serve to protect cells from the danger of free radicals that may be produced by the body, pollution, cigarette smoke, etc. · Goji Berries · Tomatoes · Watermelon · Pink Grapefruit

 Cruciferous Foods Containing Isothiocyanates Isothiocyanates combat carcinogens that can lead to cancer, including skin cancer and breast cancer. · Broccoli · Cabbage · Brussels Sprouts · Watercress · Turnips · Cauliflower · Radishes Foods Rich in Vitamin C Vitamin C is responsible for producing collagen to help skin looking plumper and younger. · Mangos · Strawberries · Potatoes

 Foods Containing Coenzyme Q10 Coenzyme Q10 acts as a shield from free radical damage, stopping the damage from penetrating to the cells. · Spinach · Peanuts · Wheat Germ · Whole Grains

Summer makeup tips with Dermablend makeup artist Jose Parron

Asian Skin: How to Perfect Your Complexion

Want flawless skin? See how to change your routine to solve all your skin issues

This is a TotalBeauty.com skin care article Asian skin is thicker and more sensitive than other skin types, which means you might be more susceptible to hyper- pigmentation  and an oily T-zone. So, to really have flawless skin, see what the experts say are the changes you should make based on your ethnicity now.   Get tips

Hello Gorgeous!
Enjoy these great tips from Dermablend makeup artist Jose Parron-it it's hot and  humid where you are, you are going to want to read this!
Enjoy!

Summer Makeup Q&A with Jose Parron

During the summer months, heat, sweat and humidity can wear you down, but it can also leave you looking like a melty mess.  Makeup Artist Jose Parron answers all your questions and provides helpful pointers to keep you looking fresh during the hot summer months!

Q: Is it safe to wear makeup at the beach?

A: As long as your makeup has a sufficient SPF for the time you are spending at the beach or pool, it is safe to wear makeup in the sun.  For extended stays, you might want to consider a higher SPF under your foundation.

Q: How can I assure that my makeup stays on during humid weather?

A: Using a foundation like Dermablend Smooth Indulgence Foundation SPF 20, will ensure that you have a lightweight texture product that can perform in any extreme situation—not just when it’s humid, but even while perspiring.

Q: I have a birth mark on my leg, what is the best way to cover this on the beach? 

A: Marks on the body are a concern for many, particularly at the beginning of the summer when people feel pale and blotchy.  A quick application ofDermablend Leg and Body Cover SPF 15, can help conceal your birthmark, while covering other problem areas, such as bruises and veins.  Simply match the Leg and Body Cover to your skin tone and then apply it to already moisturized skin in short up and down strokes, let dry for five minutes and set with Dermablend Setting Powder. 

Q: How can I maintain a sun-kissed look without exposing myself to the sun? 

A:  Many of my clients like the look of a healthy glow, but fear the risk of exposing skin to the sun’s harmful rays. Using a sheer application ofDermablend Leg and Body Cover SPF 15, in a shade darker than your own skin tone, will give the illusion of sun-kissed legs, while helping to evenly cover imperfections.  Then apply Dermablend Setting Powder, let it set for a few minutes, and you can dance or workout without the fear of it coming off or staining your favorite shorts or sundress.

Q: I have a formal event this summer and would like to conceal a visible tattoo. What is the easiest way to ensure my tattoo is covered?

A: Dermablend has an easy fix to cover tattoos without taking drastic measures. Apply Dermablend Tattoo Primer directly on tattoo to help enhance wearability and texture. Next, cover your tattoo with Dermablend Leg and Body Cover SPF 15 and lastly, set with Dermablend Setting Powder. The three-step system allows for 16 hours of smudge-resistant, long-lasting wearability.
