Youre never fully dressed without the SPF. A recent independent study by the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia concluded that people who applied broad-spectrum sunscreen liberally on a daily basis over a period of four years were able to preserve their skin and noticeably slow the premature aging caused by unprotected exposure to the sunin short, using a great sunscreen and more of it equals less wrinkles and sagging over time. The findings of this study may seem like a no-brainer to sunscreen aficionados, but this is the first long-term sunscreen study done on peoplerather than animalsthat conclusively shows the anti-aging benefits of using sunscreen on a consistent basis.

It can seem like a hassle to slather on full-body sunscreen before heading out into the sun, but a minute of application a day can help keep cancer (and wrinkled, brow-spotted skin) away. To make the commitment to sunscreen even easier, the Paulas Choice Research Team is here to share their favorite picks of the best ultra-light-weight broad-spectrum SPF options for face and body on the market today.

Makeup tends to slip right off the face during the warmer months, so using a facial sunscreen like Paulas Choice Skin Balancing Daytime Moisturizer with SPF 30 ($ 20.95 for 2 fl. oz.) that also acts as a primer is a double-win for skin. Cetaphil Dermacontrol Oil Control Moisturizer SPF 30 ($ 16.99 for 4 fl. oz.) is a particularly good sunscreen for those with oily skinor for anyone concerned with the effects of humiditybecause it hydrates, protects and controls shine.

Another favorite for the face is Olay Regenerist UV Defense Regenerating Lotion SPF 50 ($ 31 for 1.7 fl. oz.) for its high SPF rating, impressive blend of cell-communicating ingredients and antioxidants. For an all-in-one sunscreen, Miracle Skin Transformer SPF 20 ($ 48 for 1.7 fl. oz.) comes in a tinted version that may work as a substitute to makeup, but it is also available in a colorless formula.

When it comes to sunscreen for the body, we know that comfort is the difference between using the product and losing it somewhere in the back of a drawer. Fortunately, these modern formulas are so soft and sheer its like wearing nothing at all.

Nu Skin Sunright Body Block SPF 30 ($ 14.50 for 1.7 fl. oz.) is a very good water-resistant broad-spectrum sunscreen that includes antioxidants. For a higher SPF rating, another excellent water-resistant choice is Paulas Choice Extra Care Non-Greasy Sunscreen SPF 50 ($ 14.95 for 5 fl. oz.) which is ideal for combination, oily, or blemish-prone skin. Those who prefer a spray-on sunscreen should try a product like Topix Replenix Sheer Physical Sunscreen SPF 50+ ($ 38 for 4 fl. oz.) which is also water-resistant and sets to a very soft hydrating finish.

When it comes to getting the full range of benefits from sunscreen, liberal application is key so remember not to skimp outespecially not on your face, which sees the most sun day after day. Foundations with sunscreen are a great asset, but to ensure the highest level of protection its always best to layer foundation over sunscreen simply because sunscreen needs to be applied much more generously than foundationespecially if a more natural look is desired for the summertime.

Liver cleanse. This key ingredient is the crux of Dr. Charles Livingstons revelation centered around permanent fat loss, effectively packaged as a roadmap for natural detox, ongoing nutritional guidelines, and relevant fat loss exercises.

The program is called Fat Loss Factor (CLICK HERE for website).

Dr. Charles is a board certified chiropractor, a certified wellness practitioner, certified advanced nutritionist, speaker, and author, among other things.

Per Livingston, the job of the liver is to break down toxic substances, including cholesterol (ie, fat). “If the liver doesnt regulate cholesterol breakdown, fat can accumulate. If you clog up your liver with junk, it will be difficult to lose weight. So the idea is to get your liver healthy before starting a weight loss program” such is the value and basis for the Fat Loss Factor program.

The online product is downloadable for $ 47 and is chock full of goodies, like the recipe book, 15-minute workout programs, dietary guidelines, grocery shopping tutorials, goal and guideline diary, and other relevant inclusions. Confident of the value of Fat Loss Factor to his clients, Livingston guarantees the program with full refund within the first 8 weeks.

Written by Jesse Cannone who is both a back pain rehab expert and a fitness trainer, The 7 Day Back Pain Cure, a book that claims to teach readers how they can end back pain the natural way, has caught the attention of GentlemensUniversity.coms Stan Stevenson, prompting an investigative review.

The 7 Day Back Pain Cure by Cannone comes as a hardcover book that consists of about 250 pages of information and tips. It is divided into various sections, including a short story on how Cannone came up with different natural back pain treatments and exercises. It addresses the underlying cause of back pain and more importantly, readers will really benefit from the information it provides, reports Stevenson. The author also provides motivation to those who are having difficulty going about their routines and getting the necessary help when it comes to back pain. Readers will find tips and advice as well as action plans that can really be followed in order to get rid of the chronic pain and be able to lead a normal life once again.

The first part of the book focuses on some of the underlying reasons people suffer from back pain. In this section, Cannone also discusses a number of myths that relate to back pain and why a lot of people end up believing them because of false information given to them by touted experts. The second section of the 7 Day Back Pain Cure offers discussions on some of the most effective natural solutions to chronic back pain instead of the usual recommendations for surgery. Among these, Cannone gives weight to the results of trigger point therapy and inversion therapy and why these two may just be the treatments needed by one to finally conquer chronic back pain. The 7 Day Back Pain Cures last section deals with encouraging readers to take action and how they can plan to eliminate the pain emanating from their backs. Cannone discusses several forms of exercises and activities that not only promise to help relieve back pain but eliminates the need for surgery as well.

The book is very easy to read and comprehend, and this is one of the advantages that readers can gain from perusing it. Cannone was quite successful in laying out technical terms into simple language that will really help readers understand what the book is all about and not the medical jargon that people have come to expect in a lot of books pertaining to back pain treatment, says Stevenson. The book also provides sensible tips that many people have forgotten about in an effort to seek more advanced treatments for their conditions. It is a gold mine of tips and advice something that back pain sufferers can appreciate especially if they still havent found the right kind of treatment for their needs.

The 7 Day Back Pain Cure is actually given away free to those who are interested in knowing what it has in store for back pain sufferers. It is rare for a professional to charge nothing for a book that he or she has spent time and effort putting together, which is why it is simply a must-read. To date, Cannone has given away about 155,000 copies of his book, and he plans to continue doing so until he reaches the 1 million mark. Interested readers who take advantage of the giveaway will also be entitled to 3 downloadable bonuses in the form of MP3 audio files, including those that discuss the causes of sciatica and how one can start healing a herniated disc. If you’ve been suffering from back pain for the longest time, perhaps the 7 Day Back Pain Cure may just help you find the cure you’ve been looking for.
