Protecting The Skin With Sunscreen

Protecting The Skin With Sunscreen

sunscreen

Being out in the sun can be fun, but if you don’t use the proper protection on the skin, it can result in a painful experience in the form of a sunburn. When looking for skincare products, you want to find the best broad spectrum sunscreen possible that will give you the most protection. Aside from protecting against glowing red skin, there are other reasons as to why you might want to apply sunscreen.

When you wear sunscreen on a daily basis, or at least when you are outside for extended periods of time, you will see that your skin will look younger. Wrinkles won’t form as easily because there is a barrier against the harsh UV rays from the sun. There’s also the topic of skin cancer. If you stay outside in the sun, you might notice small freckles and moles appear on the skin a few months down the road, especially if you get a sunburn. These small areas could lead to skin cancer. While it’s not a guarantee that the area will be malignant, you can help decrease the risk of cancer by wearing sunscreen.

Applying sunscreen is now easier than ever. There are various sprays to choose from for the skin. You can get sprays for the face as well that aren’t as harsh as they are for the rest of the body but still provide the same protection. Some lotions already have sunscreen added, making it easier to keep the skin moisturized while offering protection. It’s important to apply the sunscreen frequently while outside so that it lasts all day. Most sunscreens now are waterproof. When you want to go swimming, you don’t have to worry about the sunscreen washing off as long as it’s applied as directed. This is something to think about as you can get burned easier in the water.

One of the things to keep in mind is that you will still get a tan even though you have sunscreen on the skin. Although this is a benefit for some people, if you see the skin becoming tan, it’s time to reapply the sunscreen. You won’t have the burnt skin, but you will still have a little color.

About the book 90 Minutes in Heaven – Paperback; 245 pages

Pastor Don Piper died January 18, 1989 when a semi-tractor truck crushed his car. Declared dead by the first rescue workers to arrive on the scene, Don’s body lay under a tarp for the next 90 minutes. Don’s soul, meanwhile, was experiencing love, joy, and life like he’d never known before. Don was in Heaven.

When another pastor’s prayers helped bring Don back to life, he became a living miracle! Yet this is one miracle Don wished never happened. Heaven’s bliss was replaced by excruciating pain and emotional turmoil. With the support and prayers of his beloved Eva, their three kids, and friends near and far, Don clings to his faith in God and fights to regain a semblance of his previous life. The Piper family’s incredible true story of perseverance and overcoming the challenges of life – and death – will bring hope and encouragement to all who see it.

Doesn’t this book sound amazing? I love reading about real life stories.

How to Choose a Boat Lift

2015, Special

How to Choose a Boat Lift

how to choose a boat lift

Even though a boat or another kind of watercraft should be in the water, there are times when you want it to be docked so that it can be cleaned or maintained. A watercraft lift is also ideal if you only plan on using the item for certain times out of the year. It can keep the paint on the bottom of the craft from fading prematurely and prevent any other kind of damage that being in the water for extended periods of time might bring.

When you begin looking for a lift, think about the time that you want to spend operating it and if you are physically able to operate the lift without assistance. If you might need some kind of help, then consider an automatic lift. The automatic lift is operated using an electric winch. This can easily get the boat out of the water and into a safe position without manually trying to get the boat lifted.

Look at the dimensions of the boat. Some lifts are only designed for boats that are of a certain size. You also need to look at the weight of the craft so that you get a lift that can provide the support needed. There are some lift companies that will offer an installation option. This means that someone can come to the area to help install the lift and get the craft boarded. A warranty is another thing to consider. If you have a craft that is estimated to be worth a large amount of money, then you will want to get some kind of warranty in the event anything happens to the craft while it’s on the lift.

There are several styles of lifts to consider. one is similar to a cradle. The craft will fit inside a small cradle while it’s out of the water. A sling design is ideal if you have the craft near shallow water. Many of the lifts that you see, especially those that are of the cradle design, are adjustable in case you want to get a different craft at a later date.

Happy Boating!

Fashion Label Creates Fully Downloadable Collection for 3D Printers

Fashion Label Creates Fully Downloadable Collection for 3D Printers

It’s one thing to create a fashion line that utilizes 3D printing technology and then sells it in a physical store, but it’s far more revolutionary to offer the entire collection as a digital download. That’s the idea behind Honest By’s Download EP01 line, which sees Bruno Pieters’ label partnering up with Spanish startup Comme Des Machines, a “future fashion advisory.” It’s a perfect partnership, since Pieters founded his label in 2012 as “the world’s first 100% transparent company” with the goal of sharing the origin, price, and labor cost of every material used to make his clothes. Now, the former Hugo Boss art director takes another step towards transparency with a collection that eliminates any chance of poor labor practices — you’re the one manufacturing the product, after all.

Download EP01 is comprised of some eccentric and forward-thinking pieces, from brightly colored hair combs to cartoonish shoe accessories. There’s even a bicycle license plate with the word “Revolution” printed on it. Although none of the pieces in this initial collection are actual clothes, that reality is not so far off. For now, early adopters of fashion will have to settle for brooches, keychains, and other strange accessories. Apart from Pieters’ designs, you can find other exciting developments in the 3D-printed fashion world below.
