Six Final Thoughts About Sunscreen

6/28/2018

* Bear in mind that sunscreens do expire. If there isn't any expiry date. Toss it after two years. Remember - all sunscreens are classified as a drug.

* There is not any single sunscreen on the market today that is waterproof or sweat proof. Shop wisely and reapply.

* Reapply your sunscreen to exposed skin at least every two hours. And more frequently if you are engaged in any extreme activity.

* Darker skin beauties and gents need protection too. It's true, you become darker. Yet your skin is not exempt from the hazards of UV rays. Wear sunscreen.

* The best protection is wearing SPF clothing as it is 100 per cent effective.

* Choose a sunscreen that offers UVA and UVB protection.

Take Charge! You can fight back to protect your skin and enjoy the outdoors. It's easier than you think. It takes planning and vigilance is key. Be sure to choose products that protect and heal the skin. Research shows that using sunscreens that contain DNA repair enzymes (photolyase & endonuclease) help minimize permanent damage to strands of DNA & assist skin cells to function optimally.

Here is a snippet from the research about using sunscreen with DNA enzymes:
"our findings indicate that sunscreens plus DNA repair enzymes may be superior to traditional sunscreens alone in reducing field cancerization and UVR-associated molecular signatures (CPDs) in AK patients, potentially preventing malignant transformation into invasive squamous cell carcinoma in a more efficient manner."

1. Wear a large brimmed hat, polarized sunglasses, & sun protective clothing
