What comes in a tube, needs to be applied generously, and can potentially prevent wrinkles and age spots from sun exposure? Answer: Forever Living’s Aloe Sunscreen! Aloe Sunscreen (Item #199) is your ticket to summer splashin’ fun! It has all the ingredients a sunscreen needs to protect your precious skin from the serious and harmful rays that can cause permanent sun damage: an SPF 30 rating, water resistance, and best of all, it goes on like a smooth and silky lotion. So this summer, fill up your beach bag, powder room, and summer cottage getaway with Aloe Sunscreen! Your family and your very own skin will thank you. According to the American Academy of Dermatology and the Food and Drug Administration, no matter what your skin type is, a broad-spectrum sunscreen should be used year round – and not just if you are going to be in the sun! A broad-spectrum sunscreen protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Ultraviolet-A rays, or UVA, are rays that pass through window glass and penetrate deeply into the skin. UVA exposure also is known to lead to signs of premature aging of the skin such as wrinkling and age spots. Ultraviolet-B, or UVB rays, are the sun’s burning rays and are the primary cause of sunburn or sun damage.

Aloe Sunscreen protects against both UVA and UVB rays, but it does something else that most sunscreens don’t: it moisturizes, nourishes and balances the skin too. Combining modern science with natural ingredients, Aloe Sunscreen helps to soothe, lubricate, moisturize and protect the skin against sunlight and wind. Leave it to Forever Living to incorporate its signature stabilized Aloe Vera Gel with its natural skin-enhancing and collagen-protecting properties to give Aloe Sunscreen its superior ability to soothe and protect! And by the way…if you are using last year’s tube of Aloe Sunscreen, then you’re probably not applying your sunscreen properly. Approximately one ounce of sunscreen, enough to fill a shot glass, is considered the amount needed to properly cover the exposed areas of the body, according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). Remember that the next time you’re squeezing Aloe Sunscreen from its tube! It is also important to note that applying sunscreen15 to 30 minutes before sun exposure is recommended; and beware that UV rays can penetrate cloud cover, so be sure to use it even on cloudy or hazy days. And if you understand your SPF’s, then you’re reapplying minimally every two hours. That is, if you’re not in water, perspiring or in high humidity – because if you are, then you need to reapply more frequently. Also if you are not applying in adequate amounts, this may result in less protection. Sunscreens are rated by the strength of their SPF or Sun Protection Factor. These numbers refer to the sunscreen’s ability to deflect the sun’s burning rays. Understand that using a higher SPF does provide for greater UVB protection than a lower SPF. What it does not mean, however, is that you can stay out in the sun indefinitely. It simply means that a larger percentage of UVB rays will be screened away from your skin while you are out in the sun. Forever Living’s Aloe Sunscreen has it all: an SPF of 30, water resistance, and pure, stabilized Aloe Vera Gel! Just cover all exposed areas of skin generously, no matter your skin type or time of year, but especially be sure to apply every two hours when in the sun. Aloe Sunscreen should be your first line of defense against the damaging UV rays of the sun, but be sure to use all that you know about protecting your skin this summer. So be proactive and protect yourself with a floppy hat, sunglasses, and protective clothing when long sun exposure is expected. Now go on – apply Aloe Sunscreen generously, and head out to play!
