Sun and Your Skin
The sun is vital for the body�s production of certain vitamins and minerals that are vital to our survival. The only problem, man has altered the atmosphere to such extent with pollution to the extent that that atmosphere has been damaged beyond repair. A hole in the ozone layer, which is the layer of our atmosphere that screens harmful UV rays (invisible Light) and reflects it back out into space has developed a hole thanks to CFC�s or the products that makes the standard home refrigerator work. These invisible gasses when released into the atmosphere is converted by chemical reactions making it form acids and other nasty stuff that eats away the naturally occurring ozone which as said protects us from harmful radiation. This results in irregular heat patterns thus resulting in more incidence of skin problems. So be responsible and be earth friendly for our very survival depends on it.
Beauty is only skin deep
Naaah..... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder for we are the ones who define what is beautiful and what is not. But skin can be used to asses one�s health for any problems internally manifests itself on your skin. Red healthy skin is a sure sign of good physical build-up. Burned skin is a sign of too much exposure to the sun thus there may be a higher risk of skin cancer and other health problems. Scaly skin, and that person may lack some essential vitamins and minerals in his/her diet that might need adjustment. Calloused skin may result from excessive wear and tear on that particular part of the body which may be due to occupational hazards allowing better protection in the afflicted area and many more. So skin is not only a sign of sure beauty but a mirror of who we are and how healthy we are on the inside.
