SUNBLOCK vs. WRINKLES, SKINCANCER, DARK SPOTS

I really do not think theres another choice but to wear sunscreen/sunblock! If you know me then you will know I am sunblock mad and every spring my search for the worlds best sunblocks comences once again!

EVERYONE should wear sunblock...even if you're black your natural skin SPF is only about 8-9 so you really need to protect yourself against the sun damage you can get!

Exposure to UV causes your skin to damage leading to premature wrinkles, sun spots, for some even skin cancer! I have and know four people with skin cancer and two of them had died already all at around 30!

Trust me not getting a tan in one day is worth it ... because sunblock doesent prevent you from having a tan it only slows down the process of getting one!

I still come back brown as a chocolate biscuit when I have been away but never do I get sunburnt!

My favorite sunblock of all time is the.....(drumroll please)


California Tan SPF 30 - around £15

If you're in the UK you can order this from lookbest.co.uk

I use this for my face and body and I am acne prone and oily and this does not give me any problems of breaking out or making me oily!
It contains no mineral oil, its non-clogging

I love this stuff, I use it daily
It makes my skin look absolutely amazing. By that i mean it looks youthfull, smooth, glowing and even.
One Last Thing

SPF30 is more then enough as it provides 95% protection whilst SPF50 give 97% so whats the 2% in practical terms really? Also SPF30 lotions tend to be much less sticky and thick so their nicer to use, because if you dont like your face products then you wont use them.

A wee bit of inspiration

Most of my life I have blindly spend dreaming.  Its only when you start thinkin about your dreams you realise how unrealistic you are… one of my faviroute quotes states ‘ its only intangable ideas, conceps and beliefs that last’ and I don’t think this could be any more true …it goes on to say ‘stone crumbles, wood rots …people,well,they die’. The only things that are untouchable by facts,science, studies, opinions ;are our own dreams! Who can say to me that I wont be succesful…who can say to me that I wont fuffil my dreams...NO ONE.  Because the only thing that matters is what is in your heart.  People may hate - call me cocky,stupid, a bitch but that only makes me want to succeed more.  Show what I have to offer more.  Love to my fullest more.  They are the ones who are going to be popping prozac when life hits them in the face, not me.  All the critism I get doesent ‘go in one ear and leave the other’ it stays locked in my brain so that one day I can turn around and say “come visit me in L.A. theres more then enough room for you all” and you know what one day I will be able to say that. I don’t quite know how I am going to get there as life changes and you cannot stop the events that unroll in front of you, you can only embrace them and take them for what they are…life.  And for the ones that strive to succeed good luck to you I hope I see you at the top.  Success cannot be measured by money or fame it’s the goals and morals that you have within that need to be fuffiled. Most people my age don’t quite yet know what they want from life;even if they think they do.  For some having a family is what is most important, for someone else it might be saving a life and for all it is money but remember money is paper, you can set it alight and it will all be gone ‘but things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on…’
