RECOMMENDATIONS TO AVOID AGING SUN DAMAGE

by Shelley Waugh
Despite years of warnings by experts about the risks posed by exposure to UVA and UVB rays, a new national survey in the United States on sunscreen use shows that nearly one-third (30%) of adults (18 and over) report not using sunscreen at all, while 71% of those who do use sunscreen don't apply it until after already being out in the sun, having reached their outdoor destination.

Most sunscreens work by reacting chemically with the skin, so they don't start absorbing damaging rays immediately and should be applied generously at least 20 minutes before going outside to reach maximum protection.

Pre-applying sunscreen before leaving home or your hotel room is the proper thing to do because the typical sunscreen product, whether cream, gel or spray, needs about 20 to 30 minutes on the skin to absorb to its best protection potential. Putting it on before you dress enables you to apply it evenly and not miss any spots.

All skin types need to be vigilant about sun protection, even those who tan easily and rarely burn. Although a suntan is not painful like sunburn, it too is a sign of skin damage that can lead to skin cancer and premature aging.  

In addition to taking the proper precautions to protect yourself from the sun's harmful rays, you should get regular skin cancer screenings to look for abnormalities before they turn into something more serious. Whenever in doubt, a doctor should examine the skin, since skin cancer, even melanoma, can be completely curable when diagnosed in the early stages.
