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."

Be Sun Smart by utilizing these six tips.
1. Wear a large brimmed hat, polarized sunglasses, & sun protective clothing
2. Use your sunscreen & reapply every two hours. Reapply sooner if you've sweated a lot.
3. Avoid the sun when it is at its highest point in the sky, usually from 11 in the morning until three in the afternoon.
4. Skip the tanning beds. Too much overexposure in a very brief period of time.
5. Schedule yearly skin exams
6. Use a UV laundry detergent to boost protection
