Choosing Sunglasses For Safest UV Protection

The sun is the earth’s primary source of Ultraviolet radiation (UV), which is divided into at least three different categories based on wavelength:

UVA – 320-400 nm are only slightly affected by ozone levels.
Most UVA radiation is able to reach the earth’s surface and can contribute to tanning, skin aging, eye damage, and immune suppression. UV 400 Protection lenses are engineered to block 100% of all harmful blue light up to 400 nanometers

UVB – 280-320 nm are strongly affected by ozone levels.
Decreases in stratospheric ozone mean that more UVB radiation can reach the earth’s surface, causing sunburns, snow blindness, immune suppression, and a variety of skin problems including skin cancer and premature aging.

UVC – 100-280 nm are very strongly affected by ozone levels
The levels of UVC radiation reaching the earth’s surface are relatively small.

Solar UV radiation levels are highest during the middle of the day, and in total, almost half the daytime total UV radiation is received during the few hours around noon.

Exposure to small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years may increase the chance of developing a cataract, and could cause irreversible damage to the retina.

It is always strongly recommended to wear quality sunglasses that offer protection to UV400 level, which will block out 99 – 100% of both UV-A and UV-B radiation and screen out 75 – 90% of visible light.

Why Too Much Makeup is Not Beautiful

Makeup is that it is meant to highlight and enhance your beauty – not to cover it up. So, do not apply coats of foundations or you will scare off more people than attract. After makeup always see if the shade of your face and your neck are different or not, if there is a difference tone down your makeup accordingly. Choosing the right makeup and applying it with the right degree of moderation is the key to look good.

Similar eyeliner is meant to define your eyes and not frame it. It will make your eyes look smaller and less beautiful than they really are.
