Make Up Games and the Sun


Playing make up games is not just to create a beautiful look. You play make up games to make yourself first appear older, but then to appear a bit younger than you really are. It is the sun, however, that does the most to ruin this image of youth. The sun can cause all kinds of damage to your skin over time. Any exposure to the sun without sunscreen can have bad results that don’t show up for years.

Freckles and Sun Spots – Freckles show up in your youth thanks to sun exposure. Sun spots begin to show up as you age. These are larger than freckles but are usually the same color. You might find them on your arms, legs, face, neck and hands. These small spots are one of the truest indications of age.

Wrinkles – Gravity and the sun work together to create wrinkles on your face and neck. First small lines appear around your mouth. Then the wrinkles deepen a bit to become lines around your nose, mouth and on your forehead. The deepness and severity of wrinkles has a lot to do with your age as well as how much sun exposure you had in your youth. Protecting your skin on your face, hands, and neck will do the most to keep you looking youthful as you age.
