Sunscreen is a must-have when you are doing activities outdoor. This is especially so in the summer season when the sun is strong and there’s increased outdoor activities. You need sunscreen to protect your skin from the uv rays.
The use of sunscreen products should not be limited to only going to the beach or swimming at the pool. Put on your sunscreen whenever you expect to be out in the sun for it will protect your skin and provide anti aging skin care.
The sun generates 2 types of ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV A has a longer wavelength, and UV B a shorter wavelength. Short term sunburn and some forms of skin cancer are primarily caused by exposure to UV B, while skin wrinkles and also aggravation of cancer is from being exposed to UV A.
Wearing sunscreen helps skin aging. Put on sunscreen at least every 2 to 3 hours while you are exposed to the sun. Doctors recommend using about one ounce of sunscreen for all parts of the body, including the face. For people who have sensitive facial skin, there are sunscreen made especially for the face. Fail to wear sunscreen puts your skin at risk of photo-aging, resulting in long term skin damage, including the appearance of wrinkles.
SPF label on sunscreen is denoted by a number and this stands for the sun protection factor of the product. If you are for a day at the beach, try to use sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 15. Higher numbers for SPF does not mean that you can apply lesser, or forget to reapply after a few hours. Even water proof sunscreens need to be reapplied after spending time in the water for more than 30 minutes.
New ingredients such as Helioplex and Meroxyl are now introduced in sunscreen products. Helioplex improves the protectant factor of sunscreen, making it last for 4 hours or more on the skin, instead of 2 to 3 hours only. Meroxyl prevents penetration of the UV rays through the skin, in fact converting this to be given off as thermal energy.

Communication between two people can be difficult at the best of times … and don’t get us started on the effect that retrograde Mercury has on our waterskiing! When the roar of a boat engine and the steady white noise of carved water separates you, it can make it even more difficult to get the message across to your mates. Today we have some waterskiing tips on the methods of communicating between spotter and skier while either waterskiing or wakeboarding, when Mercury (or an outboard motor!) is getting in your way.
Verbal communication
Verbal communication is only useful when the skier is still in the water, before the boat has started moving … after this the noise makes it too likely that anything you say will be misinterpreted. The English language doesn’t always do it’s bit to make this easier – ‘Go’ and ‘No’ are very hard to differentiate for the spotter. Our favourite waterskiing tip is to say what you want, but also use the accompanying signal, so that you don’t get too used to using those lazy old words!
Having a spotter
Having a spotter is required by law in some states, and is required by common sense in all of them. Spotters should be over the age of twelve – this helps ensure adequate attention and presence of mind.
Hand signals for the spotter
The spotter can use hand signals to tell the waterskier to do things like:
* Stay behind the boat: Extend one arm straight in front of the spotter’s body, and move it up and down. This would be used if another boat was approaching, if there were tree limbs, swimmers or other hazards alongside the boat. * Be aware that the boat will be turning around: This signal may be used by the spotter or the boat driver. If the driver makes the signal, the spotter should repeat it to ensure the person waterskiing sees it. The signal is to put an arm up at a 45 degree angle and rotate it in wide circles. * Wakes upcoming: Experienced waterskiiers may not need this signal, but beginners often appreciate it. The spotter extends their arm out to the side and moves it up and down.
Hand signals for the skier
The skier usually has more to say to the spotter than the reverse! There are different conventions all over the world, and even within the country, for skiers hand signals. Waterskiing tips recommend that you agree on what vital signals mean before hopping in the boat with your water ski or wakeboard – misunderstandings could cause injury here. Hand signals for the waterskier include:
* Okay to start: Nodding the head, or a ‘thumbs up’ * Faster: Hand out, palm up, moving up and down; nodding is sometimes used * Slower: Hand out, palm down, moving up and down; shaking the head is sometimes used * Maintain speed or speed OK: Thumb and index finger joined, last three fingers up in the ‘OK’ symbol * Turn the boat: Hand out, palm vertical, curving the hand in the direction of desired turn * Stop!: Hand up with fingers outstretched * Turn the motor off: Draw your index finger across your throat in a side-to-side motion – ‘Cut it off’ * I’m okay/not hurt: After a fall, the waterskier should clasp their hands above their head until the boat driver or spotter notices them. No movement after a fall is used to indicate an injury, and the boat will come rushing back to pick up the skier.

would any one know where I might find instructions for a lamp made from popsicle sticks? I’ve been looking online now for months, & can’t find it on any craft sites. Thanks so much ahead of time.
