Did u know - Sunblock's SPF protection not increase with an increased SPF

The 2 ray
-UVA rays(aging rays) responsible for long term skin damage because they absorb deep into skin.
-UVB rays cause skin tan or sunburn.

What is SPF?
Sun Protection Factor(SPF) label range from 2 to as high as 100 and refer to product's ability to screen or block out the sun harmful rays. This is a sun metre and often products inadvertently allow tanning with enough sun exposure.

Sun's protection factor is calculated this way:
-Take the time u would normally burn in the sun without protection. 20 minutes will usually produce redness on light skinned individual.

-Multiply the number by the SPF of ur product. Example with an SPF 1x 20 minutes of sun time = 300. This is how many minutes u can stay in the sun without burning. 300 minutes(5 hours) of sun protection without a sunburn.

U need to aware that SPF protection does not increase proportionally with an increased of SPF number. SPF greater than 15 offer only small increment of additional protection.

Which SPF is right for me?
For most people, sun protection of SPF 15 provide adequate protection as long as evenly applied and frequently reapplied. People who are fair-skinned, light-coloured, sensitive skin will benefit from a higher SPF. Does highest mean best protection? Not necessary. An SPF of 50 only provide 1% or 2% more protection than SPF of 30.

Waterproof vs Water Resistant
If u are looking for a a sunscreen to use while in water, choose sunscreen that is "water resistant" or "waterproof"? "Waterproof" sunscreen provide protection in the water for 80 minutes, while "water resistant" provide only 40 minutes of protection.

你知道吗 - 黄瓜的益处


黃瓜,所含的黃瓜酸,能促進人體新陳代謝,

排出毒素;黃瓜還含有豐富的維生素C,能美白肌膚,

抑制黑色素的形成……黃瓜肉質脆嫩,是難得的排毒養顔食品。

若是生吃黃瓜最好連皮一起吃,可以加快排毒“腳步”。

  
黃瓜皮含有較多苦味素,是黃瓜的營養精華所在。

黃瓜的營養優勢主要是由黃瓜皮“味甘、性平”的本質所決定的,

所以能夠清熱解毒、生津止渴,尤其能排毒、清腸、養顔。

  
因此,生吃黃瓜最好連皮一起吃,不僅有上述好處,

還能使維生素C得到充分吸收,促進人體新陳代謝,

從而加快排毒“腳步”。不過,帶皮吃時一定要用鹽水洗淨。

由於黃瓜含有較高的維生素C,

生吃時最好別和其他蔬菜一起食用,

以免導致其營養成分下降。

另外,黃瓜還有降血糖的作用,

對糖尿病人來說,是亦蔬亦果的好食物,

但脾胃虛弱、腹痛腹瀉、肺寒咳嗽者不宜多吃。
