Skin Care In The Sun

Sun Block

"I can't stress prevention enough: it's everything", says Tim Heffernan, MD, a Seattle-based ophthalmic plastic surgeon, about using sun block. "Chronic sun exposure hinders elastin production, resulting in saggy, lackluster skin." The sun's damaging ultraviolet rays, even in indirect sunlight, produce free radicals that deplete collagen resources and contribute to photo aging and skin cancer. To prevent subsequent wrinkles, sun spots, discoloration and fine lines, Doctor Heffernan advices that everyone, regardless of age and previous sun exposure, protect themselves. "Use sun block that contains a high SPF to defend against UVA rays."

UVB Rays

UVB exposure contributes to redness of a sunburn and causes a thickening of the skin as well as sun spots and basal cell carcinoma.

UVA Rays

There are about 20 times more UVA rays, than there are UVB rays, and UVA rays are most responsible for the DNA damage that leads to the visible of aging and a tanned appearance.

Prevent Sun Damage

We get approximately 80% of our lives' sun exposure by age 25. But, on most photos damage doesn't start showing up until the 40s when treatments to reduce its appearance can only do so much.

Two Types Of Sunscreen

Chemical (aka organic filters). These rely on synthetic compounds as the active ingredients and absorb the UVA rays while helping to deflect the UVB rays.
Physical(aka inorganic filters). Extremely fine particles of minerals stay on the skin's surface and create a barrier that reflects UVB rays.

Age Spots

Sometimes called liver spots or sun spots, these age related freckles are caused by increased activity of the pigment-producing melanocytes in our skin. Sun exposure accelerates the production of pigment, as can your diet, oral contraceptives and hormone replacement therapy.

Crow's Feet

Did you know crow's feet can be prevented? Diligent use of sunscreen, eye cream and even Botox can help maintain the appearance of your eye area, and keep them young looking for years to come.
