Daily Sun Protection Is Essential to Help Preserve Skin Health
The Importance of Sunscreen Composition
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends daily use of sunscreens that provide:
- Broad-spectrum protection against UVA and UVB radiation
- Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or greater
—SPF indicates the duration of protection against UVB rays vs not using a sunscreen - Water resistance
Different Ingredients Provide a Range of Benefits
- Minerals such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide deflect solar radiation
- Chemicals such as octyl methoxycinnamate or oxybenzone absorb UV radiation and disperse it as heat
- Newer technologies address infrared radiation by helping to buffer the skin from the heat-derived oxidation process
