Hopefully, this new FDA proposal of providing information about UVA protection will take effect soon. It will be a great benefit to consumers and will provide more information so we can all be informed and ou skin better protected.

 

Though, even with a new system in place, we as consumers must take ultimate responsibility for our skin's health. Here are a few sun safe tips for you and your family:

  • Remember to apply sunscreen every 2 hours, even on cloudy days.
  • Clothing can provide great sun protection, so wear long sleeves, wide brimmed hats, pants and sunglasses.
  • Avoid being outside between 10 am and 4 pm if possible and avoid tanning beds.
  • See your dermatologist yearly for a skin exam and perform self skin exams several times year. Responsible sun exposure can allow us all to enjoy the outdoors without getting skin cancer!
