• I never use eye cream because I think the face cream has already worked for my entire face that included my eyes area. Why should I need another cream?

  It is because our most delicate skin is around the eyes area, which is only 1/3 thickness of our regular skin. Because of this reason, wrinkles can be easily developed around our eyes. Further, a person has poor circulation around eyes area may lead to dark eye circles and puffiness. Proper eye cream is dedicated to improve these issues, which face cream cannot. Further, it may cause sebum in result when face cream is getting too close to the eyes area.

  
• Is it true that the sun can cause so much damage to our skin? How do I pick the right sun screen? Is it true that the bigger SPF number works better? What is SPF? Sometimes I see "PA+" on those skin care products with sun protection, what does it stand for?

  Yes. From recent research, scientists found that 80% of skin aging is due to sun damage and only 20% is due to genetic. Over expose to the sun will be resulted in winkles, pigments, sagging and de-hydration.
  
  SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. Sunscreens are rated by the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) system which is mainly a measure of UVB protection. The numeric value simply indicates how much longer that sunscreen can enable you to stay in the sun before you start experiencing sunburn. For example, the SPF 15 sunscreen allows a person to stay out in the sun 15 times longer. If you usually take 20 minutes to burn, the sunscreen will delay the onset of sunburn to 300 minutes.
  
  A sunscreen with SPF of 15 will suffice for most individuals in their daily activities. However, if you will stay outside more often during Summer time, higher SPFs is more justifiable. Newer sunscreens in the market also contain UVA-filters and their protective effect against UVA is measured with PA. PA stands for Protection Grade of UVA. There is currently no uniform measure of UVA absorption, so PA is only a rough indicator of the amount of UVA protection the sunscreen offers.
  
  There are three grades, namely PA+, PA++ and PA+++. PA+++ offers the most protection. PA+ is adequate for most activities. If you're staying out in the sun for long hours, go for PA++ or higher.
