A bit of trivia for you, ever wondered who invented sunscreen? Word is, it was the Egyptians! and believe it or not some of the ingredients used by the Egyptians have been rediscovered by modern scientists. For example, the Egyptians used rice bran extracts in some of their sunscreen formulas (ibid). Today, gamma oryzanol is extracted from rice bran because of its UV-absorbing properties. The Egyptians also used jasmine, recently shown to heal DNA at the cellular level in the skin, to mend skin damage. Lupine extract was also used to lighten the skin, an ingredient still used for that purpose (ibid).

This analogy works with men...Think about your face like you would your cars dashboard ..If you expose it every day to sun, after a while it will get dull,fade and crack. No one wants that to happen to their face. Apply a moisturiser with SPF every morning to keep skin hydrated and protected—it may seem like an extra step, but with skin cancer being what it is, it's more necessary than you think.Then if you see something changing get it checked!
