Sunscreen

UVA rays can lead to premature aging such as fine lines or dark spots. UVB rays are the primary cause of sunburns. It is important to protect your skin against both UVA and UVB rays as both can cause skin cancer.

It is important to apply sunscreen whenever you are going to be exposed to the sun’s UV rays, whether this is a short drive to work or a long day at the beach. Start by applying sunscreen 15 to 30 minutes before sun exposure and don’t forget smaller areas such as your ears, lips and scalp.

Most sunscreens are meant to be reapplied every 2 hours, but it is important to reapply sunscreen after dips in the water, sweating or doing other activities that will remove the UV protection and leave your skin vulnerable to damaging UV rays.

Dermatologists recommend using a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Higher SPFs do not mean that the product lasts longer, so make sure to reapply sunscreen every 2 hours.
