Ultraviolet (UV) rays are the primary cause of accelerated aging, contributing to the discoloration, sagging and wrinkling that results from UV-induced damage to the surface of the skin as well as to the underlying collagen and elastin that give our skin firmness and structure.

We are exposed to UV radiation anytime we’re outdoors, even in winter or on cloudy days. Indoors, computers and fluorescent and halogen lights also add to our cumulative UV exposure. The amount of UV radiation reaching the earth is increasing each year as the ozone layer is depleted. Research shows that as UV radiation increases, so does the incidence of skin cancer, particularly life-threatening melanoma. And the combination of UV rays and environmental pollutants dramatically increases the total load of free radical attacks our bodies must cope with.

Factors that Increase Risks of UV Exposure

Genetics. All types of skin cancer are much more common among individuals with lightly pigmented skin. Blondes and redheads are particularly vulnerable. And melanoma rates are 20 times higher in whites than in African Americans.

Time of Day. At noon, when the sun is overhead, UV radiation levels are 10 times greater than at either three hours before (9 A.M.) or three hours after (3 P.M.). An untanned person with fair skin can receive a mild sunburn in as little as 25 minutes at noon; at 3 P.M. the same person would have to stay in the sun for 2 hours to get the same level of exposure.

Geography. The sun’s rays get stronger as you get closer to the equator. Altitude is also a factor: exposure to UV radiation can increase by as much as 4% every 1,000 feet above sea level, putting mountain climbers, hikers, and skiers at higher risk.

Chronic Exposure. Most UV exposure occurs during everyday activities such as driving or walking to and from your car while running errands. Skin cancer occurs most often on the areas of the body most frequently exposed: the top of the head (particularly for those who are bald or have thinning hair), the nose, the tops of the ears, and the left arm and left side of the face among Americans who drive a lot (this risk factor shifts to the right side of the body in countries where you drive on the left side of the road). Some researchers theorize that the risk of getting age spots on the backs of your hands may correlate to the amount of time you spend driving with both hands on top of the steering wheel. Another important note: even someone sitting in the shade may still be exposed to one-quarter or more of the total UV radiation present. And up to 80% of the sun’s rays penetrate even dense cloud cover.

Apply UVA/UVB protection every day, indoors and out. Statistics prove that most UV exposure occurs when we’re not even thinking about it. Be sure to cover ALL areas of your body that will be exposed to the sun: remember the top of ears and forehead, bald spot, tops of feet when wearing sandals, and the back of neck and hands. The recommended daily precaution is SPF 15; use a higher SPF if you’ll be outdoors for two hours or longer.

Boost your skin’s natural defenses against environmental pollutants. Researchers agree that the same nutrients which protect your health also play a vital role in the vitality and appearance of your skin. Clinical studies show that Shaklee Vital Repair+™, the patented complex (U.S. Patent No. 6,036,946) integral to the Enfuselle skin care line, actually breaks each link in the chain of free radical damage on the surface of your skin.

How Do SPF 15 for Body and SPF 30 for Body Work?

Dermatologists know that an effective sunscreen must provide a high level of protection against ultraviolet radiation without irritating the skin. Enfuselle achieves that goal with two waterproof products to meet all your sun care needs. Quickly absorbed to lock in moisture without leaving a sticky finish. Ideal for sensitive skin.

• Patented SPF formula (U.S. Patent No. 6,015,548) with broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection shields skin from sun’s harmful rays to help prevent skin damage.

• Patented Vital Repair+™ (U.S. Patent No. 6,036,946) breaks each link in the chain of free radical damage to defend against accelerated aging.

 By combining UVA and UVB sunscreen agents with the patented antioxidant protection of Vital Repair+™, Enfuselle SPF 15 for Body and SPF 30 for Body provide unique, patented, non-irritating and extremely effective sun protection while using the lowest levels of chemical sunscreens possible.

FAQ

What’s SPF?

SPF means sun protection factor. If you wear a sunscreen with an SPF of 15, you have 15 times the protection from the sun than you’d have if you weren’t wearing any sunscreen at all. In other words, if you would burn after 10 minutes in the sun with no protection, an SPF of 15 would allow you to stay in the sun for two and a half hours (10 minutes times SPF 15 = 150 minutes or two and a half hours) before burning. Keep in mind that you would still receive a burn! Sunscreens don’t give you license to stay forever in the sun. Also remember that sunscreens aren’t cumulative: if you combine a moisturizer with SPF 15 with a sunscreen product with SPF 15, your sun protection factor is still 15, not 30. Virtually all sunscreens protect against UVB radiation — in addition, some products screen out a small part of the UVA spectrum. Enfuselle’s patented sunscreen formula (U.S. Patent No. 6,015,548) provides broad-spectrum protection against both UVB and UV  radiation.

Why No Avobenzone?

A “new kid on the block” sunscreen ingredient, Avobenzone currently does NOT meet Shaklee’s strict standards for product stability — in fact, Avobenzone has shown a disturbing tendency to decompose when exposed to UV light …particularly unfortunate for a sunscreen! In addition to using low levels of chemical sunscreens,  Enfuselle’s patented formulas (U.S. Patent No. 6,015,548) provide broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB radiation without the need for Avobenzone. Additionally, the Enfuselle Time Repair A.M.™ SPF 15 incorporates ingredients that help screen out UVA wavelengths (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide). This means that these sunscreen products provide reliable, full protection against UV damage.

July 5th

First Flight: Dallas – New York

“You all look like ants”, the faceBook’s suggestion for the check in Up In The Air. I really liked it. I enjoy being a part of the Dallas busy ant house. But right now I am experiencing something unusual that almost never happens to me… “I am sitting… STILL. I have nothing to do” . In fact, I do have something to do. I am thinking. Well, last Friday at the Impact group, it was said, be still every day for 15 min, and the solution will come to you. Yes, I totally got that!
15 min later, I find myself holding “American Way” magazine (July 1, 2011). I can’t really be still more than 15 min at my own will.:-) I zoom through the magazine pages and the “AGAINST ALL ODDS” article catches my attention. “That’s me”, I said to myself. “That’s what I have been standing and fighting for: partnering in health and prosperity against all odds and reasons.

Here is the highlight:
“THE ARE COUNTLESS REASONS TO REMAIN on the couch and avoid those nagging goals we all have, whether the objective is running two miles before work or making a drastic life change. TOO BUSY? OUT OF SHAPE? Don’t have the right equipment? FEAR OF CHANGE? Well, no matter the excuse, Sean Swarner proves that you can get past it. Way past it, in fact.
Swarner, a two-time cancer survivor, has climbed to the top of the highest peaks on every continent. He has completed the Ironman World Championship triathlon. And he travels the world to serve as a role model and inspiration for cancer patients and survivors.
After having spent years of his life in hospitals, having his body poisoned by chemotherapy and being told twice that he had only weeks to live, Swarner, 36, with only one fully functioning lung, continues to prove that ANY EXCUSE CAN BE OVERCOME.
“I don’t think any challenge is too great”, he says. ” I want people TO CHASE AFTER THEIR OWN DREAMS because of what I have done..”
the entire article was overwhelming inspiration to me. Well, inspirations is never overwhelming but crucial.

A few hours later, we are on the NEXT FLIGHT: New York – Helsinki

Going through the choices of movies I want to find something that I haven’t seen yet:-) oh. “Adjustment Bureau” with Matt Damon. I like the actor for depicting the unstoppable strength a single human being can be. I think I wasn’t dreaming.:-) And the line I liked the most: “All you have is the choices you make.” My interpretation: You can’t blame others for what happens to you. Follow your heart, not the adjustments (people or circumstances) lead you through life. The way your life is your choice.

“Adjustment bureau” was great and I feel like action to go on. I go through the movie choices and a very cute blonde is looking back at me. I already know she is going to fight (she is holding a sword) and I am totally in to find out what for. “Sucker Punch”.
What i got out of it is: If you don’t stand for anything, you will fall for something. Well, you’ve got to watch it but the bottom line is this:
“Who teaches us whats real and how to laugh at life. Who decides why we live and what we die in defense for. Who changes us and who holds the key that sets us free. It’s you. You have all the weapons you need. Now fight.” Wow! Can you see the connection with Sean Swarner’s message on my first flight?

A few hours later, we find ourselves on the last flight: Helsinki – Saint-Petersburg.

There is no TV here and I SIT STILL thinking: When you have a goal/aim/ambition and persistent getting where you want to be, you are moving closer and closer to being better in what you already do good.
well, it has been fun. My flight is over. Thank you for your time to read and connect.
Here you go…. Saint-Petersburg.
