How Do Dermatologists Have Fun In The Sun?

Taking care when it comes to exposure to sunlight can help protect you from the most common cancer in the U.S.A. Skin cancer, scientists say, is due to ultraviolet photo damage caused by the sun’s harmful rays. So too much sunlight can spell trouble for your skin.

According to the World Health Organization, one in every three cancers diagnosed is a skin cancer and, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation’s statistics, one in every five Americans will develop skin cancer. The best defense: keeping your skin protected 365 days a year.

The Solution? Consider these key sun protection skin care tips:

• For the face, use one teaspoon of sun protection product.
• For the body, use one shot glass−sized quantity of sun protection product.
• Be sure to reapply every two hours, especially after a swim or workout.
• Remember, UV radiation can go through clothing, windshields, windows, even clouds. Wear SPF as part of a daily daylight defense regimen to help prevent skin cancer, premature aging and photo damage.
• Keep up to date on FDA regulations regarding skin care, which have recently changed.
• Use a trusted skin care line to protect you against the sun
