Skin Care For Summer

80% of UV damage from sun exposure occurs in childhood and adolescence, when we older folks knew nothing about sunscreen. We sometimes suffered scorching sunburns or lay in the sun slathered in oils to enhance tanning. But, at every age, there are steps to take.

Everyone should be replacing misinformation with facts about the effectiveness of sunscreens and sun-protective clothing, then putting those facts to proper use.

There are more than a million cases of basal cell or squamous cell cancers diagnosed annually in the United States.

First, there is no evidence that the use of sunscreen increases the incidence of skin cancer. Nor is there evidence that regular use of sunscreens can cause internal damage. These are surface agents only; they don’t get inside cells or penetrate deep into the skin.

Dermatologists recommend the routine daily use of a sunscreen with an S.P.F. rating of 15 or higher on all exposed areas—whether the day is sunny or cloudy and skin is light or dark. UV radiation readily penetrates cloud cover.
