 Protect Your Skin What does Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton, and Britney Spears have in common? They all need sun screen when they go outdoors. Playing poker with your health is not wise. Here are some facts and tips.
It’s that time of year again when we hear all the warnings about the sun and the damage it can cause. Truthfully there is no one time of the year when this occurs. Whether it’s summer or winter overexposure to the suns ultraviolet A and B rays can cause skin damage both immediate and long term. It can also damage your eyes contributing to cataracts, macular degeneration and eye lid cancers.
When we tan indoors or outdoors our skin produces melanin (pigment) to protect itself against sunburn. Our tanning is a sign of skin damage which can lead to early wrinkles and more seriously to possible skin cancer and eye damage.
That’s why year round skin protection is important. Whether it’s a beach day, or your shoveling snow and have reflective glare the potential damage is the same. Clouds don’t offer protection and neither does water when you’re swimming. That’s why we must learn to be sun smart.
 Avoid sun exposure at the height of the day. The suns rays are strongest
from 11 Am to 3 - PM. Seek shaded areas, an umbrella on the beach is smart.
Wear a hat and protective clothing –the tighter the weave of cloth the
better.
Wear sunglasses with an SPF of no less than 15 and preferably 30, thirty
minutes before leaving the house and apply often.
Be aware that some medications make your skin more sun sensitive
Some Antibiotics Antihistamines Birth Control Pills Antidepressants Diuretics
