• Unfortunately, most commercial sunscreens don’t provide effective protection from UVA rays, which equal 95 percent of the Earth’s UV radiation. The safest way to guard your skin is to wear sun-protective clothing. No matter how good or expensive the sunscreen is, it does not protect as well as putting sun-protective fabric between you and the sun.

• Most sunscreen formulas offer less protection with each minute of exposure because they begin to break down shortly after application. Also, people usually do not apply enough sunscreen for effective protection and often miss areas of exposed skin. How many consumers reapply sunscreen every 2 hours, as recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation? An SPF rating often gives people a false sense of security.
• UVA rays result in “tan” skin, which is the skin’s response to DNA damage. Though tanning booths would like you to believe their tanning rays are safe, the research is in that UVA rays cause skin cancer. Tan skin also transforms over time into prematurely aged skin.
• Another crucial fact to remember is that even in winter, when the sun feels weaker, UVA rays surround us with equal intensity. UVA damages skin year-round and all day long.
• Protect yourself during all seasons. Cover up with sun-protective clothing and a wide-brimmed sun hat and take a few extra minutes to apply broad-spectrum UVA/UVB-blocking sunscreen containing titanium dioxide, zinc oxide or avobenzone.
