The sun is beaming down and refreshing us from the winter doldrums. It is also aging and damaging our skin. Any dermatologist will tell you that it is imperative to wear sun block every day. Even cloudy days. Even in winter. So how do you decide from all the plethora of choices in the drug store?
SPF determines how long you can stay in the sun before burning. If you normally burn in 10 minutes without any protection, multiply 10 times the SPF and that is how long you can now safely spend in the sun. So an SPF of 15 would give you 150 minutes of protection. Most experts recommend using an SPF of 30. Reapply sun block every two hours and after sweating or swimming.
When applying sun block, remember the hands, the tops and back of the ears, the back of the neck the back of the knees and the tops of your feet. There’s nothing worse than trying to wear shoes after burning the tops of your feet! So cover up and both you and your dermatologist (get checked once a year) will be happy.
