Gels

Recently there are many styling and setting products that comes in market that have little to do with the traditional product. The key component for these products are plastic resin that forms a thin layer over the hair fiber that, once you have styled your hair, sets and holds the style in shape. There may also be other ingredients in the formulation such as silicone to impart shine or perfume for a nice smell. There may be conditioning agents or ingredients with anti static action that improve hair manageability.

Sunscreens

Over exposure of skin in sunlight will cause skin cancer. Other effects caused are wrinkles, freckles, age spots, dilated blood vessels, changes in the texture of the skin that make skin look older, and skin cancers. Sunscreens are an important part of a sun protection regime and should be used in conjunction with other sun safety steps for optimal sun protection. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends to avoid deliberate sunbathing. If you must be in the sun certain precautions should be made like wearing a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and protective clothing, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 even on cloudy days.

Sun tanning is one such lotion which is used to protect the skin from sunlight, it contain dihydroxyacetone which interacts with proteins in the skin to produce an orange/tan color that doesn't wash off, but this is not sufficient so additional sunscreens should be used.

Hot talk nowadays is about the ozone hole, this is much related to skin cancer. The UV rays from the sun attacks the earth directly due to this hole. There are 2 types on invisible UV rays they are UV-A and UV-B both causes sun tan, sun burn and sun damages. Newer broad-spectrum sunscreens contain products to block UVA. These must be reapplied every 11/2 hours to keep working. Because some ultraviolet light gets through sunscreens, they should not be used as a way of prolonging sun exposure - only to avoid sunburn.
