Who thinks about sun protection in the cold winter months? Sunlight, specifically UV radiation, is the Number #1 cause of skin cancer as well as unsightly wrinkles, age spots, thinning, more fragile skin, in short ... dreaded premature aging? It is easy to forget about the dangers of Ultraviolet (UV) radiation when the majority of your body is covered and protected with layers of clothing. But what about your face? The winter months are not the time to let down your guard against premature aging and skin cancer.

With your sun safety in mind, here are 5 things to keep in mind about winter sun protection:
1. UVA radiation is still high and doing damage - UVB radiation decreases during the winter months but dangerous UVA radiation is still in full force... and for the whole day. Both UVA and UVB contribute to skin cancer however UVA is thought to play a more dramatic role in premature aging.
2. Sun damage is cumulative - Many people do not realize that the worst areas for skin 메리트카지노 cancer and premature aging are those areas exposed to the sun throughout the year, not just in the summertime. Small doses of ultraviolet light that never cause overt skin damage, over the years, causes a collection of micro-scars that damage the skin. The result is premature aging.
3. Cloudy weather does not offer much protection - Up to 80% of UV radiation can penetrate this deceptive cover and harm your skin.
4. Higher altitudes mean more UV radiation - For every 1,000 feet you climb in altitude, UV radiation increase 4%. This fact is especially important to all you skiers and snowboarders wearing just a knit stocking cap.
5. Medications can mean unexpected sun sensitivity - Protecting your skin from the sun's rays is always important, but it becomes even more so when your medication causes photosensitivity. Hundreds of medications, (including everyday antibiotics, hormones and diuretics) may cause you to be extra sun sensitive.
So what's a body to do? To better protect your face, choose a winter sun hat that has a brim. Preferable a 3 inch wide brim or greater, depending on the outdoor activity you doing. Winter sun hats are also available that are rainproof and have warm polartec linings.
And don't forget UV radiation that has been reflected up or scattered from a surface such as snow, water or sand. It is extremely important to protect yourself from these reflective sunrays which are almost as dangerous as direct rays. Snow, for example, can reflect up to 80% of a full dose of sun. To combat reflective rays, wear a thick coat of broad spectrum sunscreen reapplied throughout the day.
Making the effort to protect your skin in the winter months will go far in preventing skin cancer and keeping you looking youthful. Why not make the effort today to protect your tomorrows?
Many men are avid fans of nude sunbathing, taking pains to ensure proper penis health by keeping the organ covered in a good, effective sunscreen. The pleasures of nude sunbathing are many, and as long as appropriate penis care is practiced, it can add an extra element of fun and freedom to one's beach or backyard experience. And interestingly, there may be a testosterone benefit associated with tanning in the nude as well.
Testosterone
Testosterone, of course, is the male sex hormone and something about which men often have concerns. While few men ever actually know what their exact testosterone levels are, most men want to make sure that they are on the high side.
That's understandable. In popular culture, high testosterone levels are associated with true manliness: a hairy chest, bulging muscles, a sperm-filled sack and a massive penis always standing erect and ready for action. While the truth is that there is not quite such a direct link between the hormone and these attributes, testosterone nevertheless plays an important role in both physical development and sexual issues, including the sex drive.
Sunlight
Sunlight is of great importance to the continued health of any individual, male or female. In men, sunlight can play a role in increasing the amount of testosterone produced by the body. This is one of the reasons that ancient Greeks used to exercise outdoors in the sun. While an indoor gymnasium has its advantages, the lack of sunlight is a definite detriment.
When bare skin is exposed to sunlight, there is a definite increase in testosterone production. One study found that exposure to sunlight on the back increased testosterone production by about 120%.
Even more impressive, exposure of the genitals to sunlight increased testosterone by 200%. (That might be one reason so many erections pop up on a nude beach - that and the presence of shapely nude women, of course.)
Add in some exercise
If a guy really wants to get the testosterone levels climbing, he should consider combining exercise with his nude sunbathing. Vigorous exercise also stimulates the process by which testosterone is produced, so engaging in a naked workout outdoors should have even more of a benefit.
One can bring weights to the beach if one wants, but it may be easier to just engage in more sports-like activities. A game of nude volleyball or bare basketball can get the job done and be much more enjoyable. (But do remember, men: you're playing without an athletic supporter, so be careful.)
Another activity that can be entertaining is nude yoga. This has become more and more common in recent years. It's worth investigating if any practitioners are in one's area and if there is a clothing-optional outdoor space where a class could be held.
Take care
Remember, the direct exposure of the penis to sunlight results in the testosterone boost. This means that a man needs to go the full Monty to derive the maximum benefit. This also means that a man needs to limit the amount of time that the penis is exposed to sunlight without sunscreen. If the penis is making its nude sunbathing debut, lathering on sunscreen regularly is essential. If it has a bit more experience in being exposed, a man can parcel out a bit of screen-free penis time - but he must be careful not to overdo it!
Nude sunbathing can help boost testosterone levels, but it also exposes just how good one's penis health practices are. That means men who are going natural should regularly use a first-class penis health creme (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil), especially if they are prone to dry or flaky penis skin. A crème that contains a combination of natural moisturizers (such as Shea butter and vitamin E) can provide the hydration to deal with common dermatological issues, making the rod appear shiny and smooth. If a persistent odor clings to the penis even after washing, a crème formulated with vitamin A can do the trick. That vitamin is equipped with antibacterial properties that attack rank member order. Employ that crème to help one's manhood make an impact on the beach.
