Maybe people who doesn’t apply sunscreen doesn’t mean that they weren’t informed well, but maybe because they were misinformed. One has to remember that with every skin care review that tells you to apply sunscreen, there are no if’s or but’s. Here are some myths that MAY BE the cause of a number of people still not applying sunscreen.

Myth # 1: The sun gives your hair great highlights

When sun rays touches your hair, there’s a tendency for your highlights to glow. However, doing this may damage your hair too. Hair highlights are an evidence that your hair is damaged because it gives your hair a dry strawlike texture, which makes your hair more pron to breakage. Make sure that your hair is healthy and use hair products that has UV-shielding ingredients that will help in protecting your hair.

Myth # 2: A tan will make zits disappear

Well, this is quite true, since a tan can camouflage the redness of a pimple on your face skin. However, frequent sun exposure can eventually lead to more acne breakout because it can cause dead skin cells to buildup and will eventually clog your pores. Sun can also dehydrate your skin, and when that happens, your skin will produce more oil, in return, it may leave you with more zits.

Myth # 3: Dark skin doesn’t burn

Whatever your complexion is, always remember that it can burn. However, a dark-skinned African-American can use a sunscreen with a lower SPF because her skin has more melanin that will protect the skin naturally.

So, to continuously have the best skin care protection, always apply sunscreen. Again, there are no limits on using this product.
