'Nothing looks better in your 50s than sunscreen in your 20s.'
Jennifer Garner said it best about sun protection in the life advice she gave to Denison University graduates at their commencement ceremony this month.
A diet rich in antioxidants appears to help prevent DNA damage and cancerous growths that can result from UV radiation, according to a study published in the Journal of Skin Cancer. Whether it's because we don't think we have time to dedicate to our own care -- or, if we think we are getting"a base tan,""a little color," or"some vitamin D," none of these reasons is going to prevent a skin cancer diagnosis.
So, my approach is truly a combination approach -- I apply my sunscreen every two hours, but I cut down on how much I need to use because I wear UPF swimsuits. Third party testers, such as Consumer Reports, consistently find that many chemical sunscreens perform better than sunscreens that contain only physical, or mineral, blockers. So, many of my patients are currently weighing efficacy against safety questions in selecting their sunscreens this summer.
Higher SPFs can be more forgiving. Meaning, in real life, in real time, most people don't actually apply sunscreen exactly the way the instructions explain that you should -- they don't use enough of it, and they don't reapply it as frequently as they should throughout the day.
