Use Sunscreen!
I can’t emphasize the use of sunscreens enough! When I was a teenager I used baby oil and iodine to get a tan. I hate to admit it but one time I put Crisco on, and laid out on the tin roof of our chicken coop! I can still hear my Mother fussing at me! I’m sure many of you can relate to this. However, now we are paying the price to lighten the brown spots and erase the wrinkles caused by years of sun damage. We also are at increased risk for skin cancer because of years of tanning. Use a sunscreen with a SFP of 30-50 on areas exposed to the sun in the summer, and use a SPF of 50 on your face all year. SkinCeuticals has a great sunscreen and can be purchased at both of our office locations.
