Memorial Day Weekend - Unofficial Start to Summer


Memorial Day is right around the corner, bringing with it the unofficial start of summer. And even though we are all rejoicing in sunny days at the pool or lake - From now through September, we have to be extra-vigilant to protect our skin from the sun.

Experts report that 80% - 90% of prematurely aging skin is caused by UV radiation from sunlight. "People often underestimate the amount of sun damage they have, " says Dr. Anthony Oro, a dermatology professor at Stanford University.

For protection, experts recommend that you: 

  • Reapply a generous amount of sunscreen every 2-3 hours
  • Wear sunglasses to protect eyes
  • Wear protective clothing, such as a wide-brimmed hat
  • Don't be shy about using an umbrella to block the sun
  • Use extra caution near sand and water. "The sun can be very intense at the beach because of the reflection from the water and the white sand," says Oro.
